I go through a cycle of feeling new and energetic and ambitious to feeling foggy in my head, anxious and worried that I'm not where I really should be. I'm struggling today with the basic truth that I am valuable just as I am and because I am. I've only really known this truth for a little while, so it makes sense that I still doubt it sometimes. When you don't live in the truth for most of your life, you start making up other "truths" to help you survive. As children, if we don't know deep down that we are valuable because we are, we look around the world we live in and start painting our value in different ways. I will be valuable if I have a lot of friends, or if I can make people laugh, or if I behave just as people want me to. Today I am wrestling with these old "untruths" and my brother helped me remember that the one truth I need to practice for this moment is "I am valuable because I am."
Rest easy in your mind, dear one.
