If you are like me, I am sending you a huge hug today…no kid should grow up feeling that way…I grew up thinking that I didn’t matter, I was a bother, someone who just created chaos…… this underlying belief impacted my adult life in many negative ways. Guess what I have learned……I MATTER! Not because someone tells me that….but because I tell myself that…at the end of the day my opinion in this area is the only one that counts.
To help change my beliefs in this area I actually made a recording speaking to myself telling myself all of the things I needed and wanted to hear. I listened to it every morning for a few weeks, now it is ingrained in me….whenever I feel myself slip or get shaky I will pull that recording out and listen to it again….MY voice…telling ME that I MATTER. It is a big warm hug on a cold snowy day.
Talk tomorrow!
