Healing Feelings of Inadequacy

Do you question whether you have what it takes to do what you really want to do?

Or do you hesitate to speak up when you know the answers or have viable solutions to a problem?

I certainly did for much of my life. I had been shut down so many times by parents, siblings, teachers, managers, coworkers, and people who had influence over me, and I had internalized their words.

I lived with deep insecurity. Was I really that inadequate?

I knew I was intelligent and capable, but I was afraid to speak up in meetings at work. I was afraid to advocate for what I needed with my family and intimate relationships. I hesitated to share my opinions and insights in groups.

Until I realized those thoughts and beliefs are not mine. They do not define me and never have.

The same is true for you. The words of others that have told you your opinions did not matter, that you were inadequate or ineffective, or that your voice did not deserve to be heard – those are their words, not your truth.

Your truth is still inside you. It has endured and it is waiting for you to return to it – and you can!

Listen to this week’s Meditation & Healing Circle to release the voices and judgements of others and allow your powerful truth to emerge.
