Do You Suffer From Deep Rooted Feelings of Not Being Good Enough?
Find internal validation and acceptance
What does feeling that you matter and belong mean to you?
When we mix our perceived place of belonging and mattering together, we alchemise a sense of being good enough.
Good enough for this world. Good enough for others. And good enough for ourselves.
Last year I proofread my dear friend’s Ph.D. (this means it’s my Ph.D. too, right🤣), which had an intersectional theme of loneliness, belonging, and mattering as prominent parts of public health. (Huge shout out to you if you read this, Lan ❤).
We all go through phases and stages of feeling like we don’t matter or that we don’t belong. But some of us, myself included, have this as an overriding part of our psyche.
These are feelings I have battled with all my life.
Even publishing the Abnormally Normal newsletter plays with my emotions and feelings of worth and adequacy.
Like many of you, I have endured exhausting battles with myself over the years.
