Recognize Your Value

Is there a limiting belief in your head? Is it impacting your life and confidence? When you begin to believe the negative and limiting thoughts about yourself, you give in to your Inner Critic. We all have one – some days it is little – some days it is overwhelming. Sometimes we buy into the illusion of our own insignificance. We shut ourselves down, lose our voice, lose our opinion, lose ourselves to another, or to society. Our culture is not an affirming, warm and fuzzy place. There are so many avenues where we compare and make ourselves small or “less than.” Large complex corporations and attitudes, celebrity fame and power, material gain. Do we take the time to consider that we matter? 

Think of the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” where George Bailey (no relation), with the help of his angel, Clarence, sees what life would be like if he had not been born. The awakening for George at the end of the movie was precious. Just like you are, precious. Our very existence impacts countless people in a complex web of ways. We are a small bit of a larger experiment. The universe could not exist without us – we have a part. 

You may have felt devalued at some point in your life. Not seen, not heard, not safe or cared for. You learned how to navigate that world and created your toolbox of highly developed skills to be a precious part of this world. This one limiting belief about yourself can impact your life. When you shift your perceptions around your own value and ability to affect your life, things change. You may discover parts of yourself that have been long lost parts. Warm parts, happy parts, friendly parts, curious parts, inventive parts. You matter – your life matters – be your own Clarence and reconnect with yourself. You are precious and valued.
