I spent years doubting myself. Then I walked the long, often painful path towards working on loving myself. It was going well, till the internal struggle with the notion that it was shallow to put oneself before others as it's not what Jesus would do, kicked in. So I worked on striking a balance, yet the voice of doubt still lingered, reminding me of that belief. I stopped walking the self-love journey without realising it. I returned to my old ways of; putting myself last, family first, ngos/other causes first, friends, work, producers and even strangers needs first, (the empaths reading the above can relate on a level that others won't. Hi 👋🏽Empaths) but
"You Can't Pour From An Empty Cup", and my cup was practically empty.

2020 came along with a pandemic that did an inexplicable, life altering, number on us all. Creating a timely opportunity for self-reflection and growth. I used the lockdown to begin working on myself for myself,once again. It's been a daunting, wonderful, challenging, enlightening, fulfilling, ever evolving journey. One I'm🙏🏾 thankful for.

I am worthy! 3 words many people struggle with truly believing when they say them. Sadly, most people have never said those words to, or about themselves, ever.

I don't struggle with believing those vital words anymore. I know that I Am A Talented, Intelligent, Compassionate, Hardworking , Eloquent, Funny, Loving, Kind, Honest, Succesful, Goffy, Beautiful, Witty, Phenomenally Phenomenal, Rare Humanbeing, With Integrity.
I Am Worthy And I Was Born Worthy.
How do I know?, God told me so!

What Do You Believe About Yourself?
Do you have daily affirmations?
If you do, I hope you say them to yourself often?, daily if you can.
Don't have any affirmations?
Pray about it, meditate, talk to the universe about it if you aren't a religious person, or create some.
Write them down! Speak it, till you Believe it!

Yes, I still have days when I'm feeling more 😥 lthan 100%😁🦋, just like you have. However, my worth doesn't change on bad days. No matter how you feel today or tomorrow, make sure you never forget You Are Worthy Too!
Have a beautiful day xM✌🏾💜
