You Know What you Deserve Now!
You know and feel you deserve better.
So why is acting how you know not easy?
Once you know “I deserve better” – why can that not be it?
Once you know, why isn’t it straightforward? I’m done, I’m no longer accepting anything less than what I deserve?
Maybe for some it IS that easy, but it wasn’t for me and that frustrated me!
And then I had to find compassion for myself.
Because I needed to allow myself to understand WHY.
Learning why I’ve been such a proficient saboteur has been more than enlightening.
Things I know: Accepting less is habitual, akin to an addiction. My mind & body were wired for it.
So where my soul has always known my worth, I now need to retrain my mind & body.
But here’s where it can get a bit messy.
Give Yourself Grace!
I can tell my conscious mind all day (for example with affirmations) that I deserve better but if my subconscious is really running the show and is connected to my body — nothing changes or changes for long enough.
This is the time to give yourself grace.
I had to give myself plenty of grace and compassion.
Because habit building can take time but also a lot of effort.
Priming yourself and your environment to have compassion can be a whole process. Because the “inevitable” “failure” can spark a spiral of doom, if you’re not careful.
There are steps that you repeatedly take to rewire your system to develop a new habit (an automated way of being/doing).
This awareness and self-observation is crucial.
I’m allowing myself the compassion to break and develop a new habit of accepting nothing less than what I desire and know I deserve.
You’re worthy,
