You were born totally, wholeheartedly, fully lovable. You and the rest of us.
Have you ever looked at a baby and considered how unlovable they are?
I am going to count on it that you said no. It is because everyone is born lovable. And nothing ever changes. As the baby grows and develops through life, their worthiness and lovability never changes.
What does change is that person’s self-image. Every person develops an inner blueprint that consists of how lovable they are… or unlovable. That blueprint influences the decisions, relationships, risks, and actions that person will take on in life, love, and work.
Undoing your inner conditioning is not an overnight job, but with practice and persistence you can adopt strategies that will make it easier to open your mind to the fact you are lovable, and eventually you will begin to feel it too.
Look around your life and acknowledge where you lack self-love and get to showing yourself that love. Stop criticizing yourself so harshly. Choose to validate yourself before seeking it from outside of you. When you catch yourself paying for love, take a step back and remind yourself you do not have to pay anymore.
The belief that you are not enough as you are is holding you back. As you begin to grasp the truth that you are lovable and that you too have your own space in this world where you can be loved for simply being you, you will open yourself up to new opportunities and flourish in your relationships and life.
So, in case you need reminding today, you are enough, you are worthy, and you are so, so lovable.
