How To Feel Worthy Right Now As You Are

Do you want to feel more confident and loved? Do  you want to know that people find you attractive and want to spend time with you? Do you want to feel like you are good enough? There’s actually a ton of love in the world for you, but if you don’t let it in, you don’t feel it. It’s like drinking water with the thinnest straw when we don’t let love in. The water represents love and the straw represents how much we receive love. You truly are deeply loved. You just have to let it in. When I was in high school, I developed a disgust for hugs and touching. I didn’t like people getting close to me. This occurred after my dad passed away from colon cancer when I was 14. There was a family- the Griffeths, who took me in to help me through my difficult times. And they were a huggy family. And that was so uncomfortable for me. Every night before bed, they had this ritual of hugging everyone, and I used to run away. Turns out, they were showing me I was loved, but I wasn’t receiving it because I didn’t believe it for myself. So I avoided working through my inner self-hatred to let their love in. My mission for you today is to help you receive love better so you can feel worthy in any social setting. Solution (Apply These Steps): 1) Ask, if you wanted to feel loved, who’s love could you let in? Who likes you? You can include pets too. Which family members love you whether they express it well or not. Which friends love you? Which colleagues at work appreciate you? Write down a list of all the names that come to mind. And let the love in. You are deeply loved. 2) Ask, what if you were already enough? If you were already enough, what would you do? How would you show up in your social, dating, and career life? The truth is, you already are enough. You don’t need to change anything to be deserving of love. You are enough right now as you are. You are worthy no matter what. So go and do all those things you would do if you knew you were already enough. 3) Create your Declaration of Unconditional Self-love. Write a paragraph or a short essay on your commitment to love yourself from this day forth no matter what. “I, (insert your name), boldly declare that from this day forth, I love myself no matter what. I am on my own side no matter what. It’s okay to get rejected, to make mistakes, to feel sad, angry, stressed, or upset. I’m okay as I am. I don’t need to achieve anything to feel loved as I am right now. My body image is okay just the way it is. I am worthy of other peoples’ attention. I am awesome. I have a ton of value to offer people in conversations. I deeply love and respect you, (insert your name). Sign and date it. Then post it on your wall, or store it somewhere you will access frequently to review and further influence your psychology to transform into your Declaration of Unconditional Self-love. By letting love into my life, I’m able to feel worthy no matter what. I’m comfortable with hugs, and get told I give great hugs. When you increase your capacity to receive love, you will feel worthy and attractive no matter what. Awesome work. Apply this in your life now. Until we speak again, you were born to be real, not to be perfect. So go out there and be who you are.
