Always enough… right?⛈️☔️

I repeat this to myself often: “you are always enough”.

But I usually struggle to believe it.

See, I am constantly beating myself up, and I’m sure you are too; this is humanity. We tear ourselves down until there’s nothing left and succumb to the pressures of unrealistic expectations.

There’s always something to change. Weight, hair color, find lines, acne, stress, new homes, new jobs, new cars… life never stops handing us new burdens and stressors. Often we tell ourselves, “once I do x, then I’ll be happy/then I’ll be enough”. Unfortunately, this is an endless cycle of trying to do or be more. It will never be satisfied as long as we put our worth in our achievements and appearance.

It’s really really difficult to convince ourselves, but we really, truly, sincerely are ENOUGH as we are.

This isn’t what we were made for. Comparison is the thief of joy. We won’t be enough when we’re skinnier or busier or richer. We are already enough.

Understanding that you are always enough can help you combat negative thoughts and societal pressures. The phrase, “you are always enough,” serves as a powerful reminder, especially in moments of uncertainty. To enhance self-acceptance, consider practices such as mindfulness, journaling, or positive affirmations. Engaging in these can help realign your mindset. Additionally, surround yourself with supportive communities that resonate with your values. Sharing experiences with those who uplift and encourage positive self-talk can further reinforce your belief in your worth. Remember, your journey towards self-acceptance is unique—embrace it fully, as true happiness comes from within.

how do I know if I’m training hard enough?
this is a common question I get! The simple answer is, everyone’s intensity levels can vary depending on their goals but you should always be self aware of how much you are truly challenging your body and aiming for improvement! It’s important to build a good foundation of form, consistency
