Am I Enough?

For a long time I wondered this. I never felt like I was enough. No matter how much I did it was never enough. I would push and push myself working hard to prove to myself and other that I WAS enough.

But no matter what deeds I did or didn’t do it would never “make me enough.”Because my value was already set. Simply be alive and being a daughter of God made me enough. I finally began to believe that simply being me was enough.

And my world began to change. My acts of service came from a place of confidence a d love, rather than simply duty or obligation. And when I’m not up to the task I love myself through it and allow God to do the same.

When we think we are not enough our brain will work hard to find all the evidence of why this is true. The good news is we can re-train it. That’s what I will be teaching in my brain health course next month. Brain health is more than simply managing mental illness. It’s creating new patterns of thought for our brains to run on a daily basis, learning to accept ourselves completely, and creating that atmosphere of inner peace and love we all long for.
