Getting out of our comfort zones when we feel unworthy
But then I read the following reading, and it challenged me to think differently and put some pep in my step: No matter whether people or external circumstances make me feel like an outsider or not, I belong where I say I belong.
You belong here on this earth. You may not always feel that way. Perhaps no one told you. Right here – this is where your journey led you. You certainly belong here. Ground yourself in that knowledge, and take up more space than you think you deserve. (Cyndie Spiegel).
It is OKAY for me to take up space! It is okay to use my voice! It is okay to believe my opinions are worthy of being heard! I do not have to give up on myself and what is best for me!
I need to always be my biggest fan and supporter, even when everything around me – including myself – makes me feel unworthy of taking up space.
And now I’m telling you to do the same today:
Have you felt belittled, like you don’t belong, undervalued, or are unworthy?
Today, I request that you take up a little more space than usual. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but this will be a healthy exercise. Get out of your comfort zone, be proactive, and take actions that will transform the predicament you’ve been experiencing.
You belong: So force yourself to take up space whether you feel worthy or unworthy. Force yourself to use your voice when you’re being mistreated. Force yourself to value your opinions when everyone else seems to belittle or ignore them. Force yourself to believe that you deserve a space on this planet. Force yourself to accept that you are magnificent in your own light. Force yourself to be in positive vibrations with the universe. Force yourself to LOVE yourself and who you are. Force yourself to accept yourself completely.
Remember To Be Your Cheerleader
Why do we not show ourselves love and support when we need it most? But as soon as our best friends or family come calling with their dilemmas, we’re their backbone and energizing source?
We got to be that same cheerleader for ourselves, whether we feel like it or not. And when you’re struggling to do this, get your inspirational motivation from a book, a podcast, a video, a movie, a song, or an article.
Use your resources to get your mojo back.
