When we don’t believe in ourselves, it is hard to accomplish anything. We feel like we are swimming upstream and sometimes it seems impossible to make progress. It’s as if we are carrying a weight on our shoulders that just gets heavier the more we try to ignore it. The thing is, this weight isn’t real. It’s only there because we put it there. Our worthiness doesn’t come from what we achieve or how productive we are, it comes from within. In this blog post, I will talk about how to start believing in yourself and why you are worthy just the way you are!

Self-belief is the foundation that our lives are built on. It’s what allows us to take risks, to put ourselves out there, and to go after our dreams. When we don’t believe in ourselves, we get stuck in a rut of negative thinking and self-doubt. We start to see all of the ways that we are not good enough and our brain starts to believe it. This is called confirmation bias. Our brain is wired to look for evidence of what we believe, so when we believe we are not worthy, that’s all our brain will show us. The good news is, we can change the way we think about ourselves! Just like how our brain creates negative thinking, it can also create positive thinking. We just have to be intentional about it.

Here are some things you can do to start believing in yourself:

• Acknowledge your achievements, no matter how small they may seem.
• Write down your goals and what you need to do to achieve them.
• Spend time with people who make you feel good about yourself.
• Do something that makes you feel proud of yourself, even if it’s just taking a small step in the right direction.

You are worthy of love, respect, and happiness. You are not defined by your mistakes or failures, but by your willingness to keep moving forward. Start believing in yourself today and see how your life changes for the better!
