How to Feel Worthy Of Happiness, Success, and Love
163I was talking to a client about the feeling of deserving and how to feel worthy of happiness and wanted to share my thoughts. Being able to say "I am worthy of love, success, happiness, money, a good life..." isn't easy for many of us. Maybe you don't struggle with it, but it certainly took me a long time to get to that point where I felt "worthy". *insert Thor clip here*
We hold onto those times in our past when we messed up - when we said the wrong thing, when we weren't in the right place to help someone who needed us, when we overindulged, when we thought of doing something malicious to someone who wronged us…
…and for me, that often fed into me thinking that I be "broken" because of it…
We let these moments define us. We use them as an excuse for why we can't move forward, or we chalk it up as just being unable to fit into the rest of humanity.
We think, because of this one moment or this one decision, this is who I am. I am a bad person because of this one thing.
We let our past define us and keep us in a place of shame.
Our aspirations loom too high above our heads.
We refuse to accept that our past mess ups and imperfections are part of the story and journey which make us who we are today. And that simple fact that we are all on a journey where we MUST struggle, fail, and learn to triumph, makes us just like everyone else.
The people who judge us are often either blind to their own projections of inner fears and inferiorities, or so hurt inside that they see no other way to feel better than to lower someone else's status.
And the people who love us, accept us, and grow with us are also no less flawed than anyone else in the world today.
The truth is, we're not broken.
We're human.
We all mess up.
I can't tell you how many loops of those negative thoughts of not being good enough I've gone through.
Want to know what I've learned though?
Your ability to feel better about yourself and more worthy of success comes down to 2 main things
1) your self-talk and
2) intentionally taking steps outside your comfort zone to "seek your dragons"
You can change your self-talk and mindset through hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, or many other modalities.
It's really not that hard when you know how.
We naturally change our self-talk all the time… often going about it the wrong way by numbing ourselves, drowning it out, escaping it… sometimes we are more positive and proactive by putting on music, doing some art, journaling…
Intentionally getting out of our comfort zone is the biggest shift that takes the most work.
Why?
Because your comfort zone will always exist in many different domains of your life.
And after you take a step out, you acclimate and it all becomes comfortable again…
But as a gamer, the mindset of seeking uncomfortable situations is deeply rooted in us. The main character must seek their dragons. They must face unforeseen challenges. They must learn new skills through their experience. They must change in order to achieve their goals.
It can be invigorating and empowering if you bring those principles into your daily life.
In this video a I share a story and some powerful mindsets on how to feel worthy of your own happiness, success and love.
Hope it helps :)
