i'm sorry i know i'm not enough.

... Read moreThe struggle with feelings of inadequacy is a common experience that can impact individuals in various aspects of their lives. Recognizing these feelings is the first step toward overcoming them. Understanding the psychology behind self-worth can help individuals reflect on their strengths and value. Practices like mindfulness, positive self-talk, and seeking support from friends or communities, such as the #lemon8bookclub, can create an environment that fosters personal growth. Additionally, engaging in activities that align with personal interests can elevate self-esteem and promote a sense of accomplishment. Professional guidance, through therapy or counseling, can also provide invaluable support for navigating complex emotions. By actively challenging negative beliefs and focusing on personal accomplishments, people can gradually build a healthier self-image. Remember, acknowledging where you are in your journey is vital—everyone has moments of doubt, but with time and support, it's possible to cultivate a more positive self-view.

My "enough" moment
"That's just how I am" met my "well this is how I AM" No more tolerating comments that make me feel small.. I'm committed to relationships where we both feel safe to grow🌱 Your standards are valid #StandYourGround #HealthyBoundaries #MutualRespect #Relationship

I’m sorry 💙
I’m sorry I’m not the “fun” mom. I’m sorry that I don’t let you go to just anyone’s house. I’m sorry that I don’t let you go places unchaperoned on a regular basis. I’m sorry I don’t let you wear whatever you want. I’m sorry you have to put your phone up at a certain time each day.
