Believing in yourself isn't easy, it's a necessity

👉 Did you know that the way you feel about yourself is not determined by others?

🤦‍♀️ But, you say, my mother has always put me down, or my partner has made me feel worthless, or I am always overlooked when there is a promotion, or I am the only one of my friends who hasn't settled down? It's no wonder I feel the way I do about myself.

Right?

Wrong! ❌

🆗 I am not saying you are perfect and there are not things about yourself that couldn't be improved. What I am saying is that you don't have to own other peoples opinions of you and wear them like a second skin.

👉So the question to ask yourself is, 'why do I care about others opinions of me in the first place? 🤷‍♀️

I will tell you why...👇

👉 You are bothered because you have never really thought about who you are and what you want.

💡 Think about it:

👉 Do you know what you want out of your life? Like really?

👉 Do you stand up for what you believe in?

👉 Are you kind to yourself?

👉 Are you in a job you like?

👉 Do you believe that you can achieve greatness?

👉 Do you have a dream career on your secret wishlist?

👉 Do you wake up happy?

👉 Are you with someone who adores you and you adore them?

👉 Are you getting to do all the things you are passionate about?

👉 Do you do something each day that is purely just for you?

📝 That list isn't exhaustive, but so many of us have been swept along in someone else's journey that we have forgotten to think of ourselves and often for ourselves.

👉 You need to start digging deep and defining who you are. Once you have worked out who you are, dare to say it out loud. Write it down. Say it often, especially when you feel that someone does not have your back, or you are being carried off in a direction you weren't planning on heading in.

You are you 💗. There is only one of you. Get to know yourself, believe in yourself, change the things that you don't like and don't serve you. Relish in the things that do.

This life is yours too, so grab it! 🙅‍♀️
