7 Truths to Believe About Yourself
Aug 22, 2020
The stories you tell yourself about yourself are the most important. You need to choose your words carefully. These are 7 truths that successful women need to believe about themselves.
1. I AM ENOUGH.
You are perfect as the person you are right now. That doesn't mean that you can't want to learn more skills or educate yourself or push your physical boundaries or aspire to that promotion at work. But if you do not believe you are perfect and enough as the person you are today, nothing will ever be enough for you. Not the new job, or the new lover, or the new handbag, or the new car. You have to start at home. Believe you are worthy. Believe you are enough. Today. Just as you are.
2. I AM NOT MY PAST.
You are not defined by where you grew up or who your parents were or the dumb decisions you made in high school. You have learned and grown since then. You have matured. You can draw on your past for experiences and lessons. But you are not defined or limited by who you once were, the decisions you once made, or what happened to you in your past.
3. I BELONG HERE.
Imposter Syndrome, anyone? Stop undermining your credibility. Stop questioning your worth. You belong in this room, and you've earned a seat at the table. You have the tools to do what is being asked of you. And if you don't have them now? Trust that you'll figure it out. Just like you always have. You can do this.
4. I CHOOSE HOW I FEEL.
You are a grown woman who is in control of everything in her life. While you cannot control what happens to you or the circumstances you find yourself in, you are completely in control of how you react. It's up to you. You choose your reactions. You choose how you feel. Don't let someone else tell you how you're feeling. And don't forget: happiness is a choice.
5. I CAN DO HARD THINGS.
Think you're not tough enough or strong enough or smart enough? Think about it: you've figured out how to push through or work around everything that has been thrown at you up until now. Every hurdle. Every mountain. Every setback. Every hiccup. Every falter. Every heartbreak. Even when something seemed impossible. You are strong and resilient. You can do hard things.
6. I DESERVE THIS SUCCESS.
You've put in the time and the effort. You've done the job. You deserve the accolades that go along with it. Don't play small. Or discount your role in the process. Recognize that you did this. That you weren't just lucky. Or that you just weren't the right person in the right place at the right time. Sure, luck may have played some role. And most people don't get their on their own. Recognize and thank those around you who helped, but own your success.
7. I AM WORTH THE MONEY.
There is so much money out there in the world. You deserve to have some of it. Actually, you deserve to have a lot of it. Get comfortable with abundance. Understand that your value is not determined by your paycheck. But also understand that you deserve to be paid what you're worth. Go ask for that raise.
You've got this. You're incredible. Everyone around you thinks you are. It's time to start believing it for yourself.
