In today’s society, most of us are struggling with feeling good enough. Often we are comparing ourselves to the media’s standards, or other people whom we have put on a pedestal.

We perpetually criticize ourselves, pointing out our flaws, trying to hide the things we are not as good at, and putting ourselves down. This behavior is evident of not feeling like enough.

But what does it mean to feel like you are enough?

What does it really mean to be enough?

Being enough means that you don’t have to feel bad or criticize yourself because you know that what you have to offer this world is beautiful and worthwhile.

Being enough means that you feel worth it. Worth it to have the success you want, the relationship you want, the happiness you want, etc.

Being enough means that you are happy with yourself when you try your best, even if you don’t succeed.

Being enough means that other people’s negativity towards you says more about them than it does you, even if it can still hurt sometimes.

Being enough means that you set your standards high enough that you don’t have to settle for things that hurt you or make you feel bad.

Being enough means that you are happy with where you are in life, because you know you are always moving forward, always getting better, and the journey is the real adventure.

Being enough means that you go after the things you want in life because you know you deserve a chance at them.

Being enough means that you ask for help when you need it because you know you don’t have to do it all on your own.

Being enough fills you with feelings of confidence, contentment, security, and self-love.

There are many ways you can feel like enough and be enough. It starts first with getting an idea of where you are at with feeling like you are enough.

I recommend doing some journaling to figure out where you feel like you are enough and where you are struggling with confidence and worthiness. You can start this by listing out the areas of your life, such as career, body, relationship, health, etc. and rating your satisfaction with your performance in that area on a scale of 1 – 10. Then, go back through the areas where your satisfaction is low and journal around why you aren’t feeling satisfied in that area and uncover what ideas you have about yourself and your abilities in that area.

This insight will help you get clear around what false stories you are telling yourself. Knowing where you are starting is the best way to make progress.
If you are ready to move forward with overcoming not feeling like you are not enough then it’s time we work together one on one. You do not have to do this work alone.
