Do You Know and Believe You Are Enough?
This week I have been waking up and saying I am enough. I have it written on the mirror in my bathroom to remind me I am Enough and repeat it often during the day. Especially if I am beating up on myself or the inner critic has come out to play,’
When I allow my inner critic to move me from my heart to my head up comes the feelings of
-
not being enough
-
then not being good enough
-
looking outside for confirmation that supports all these negative thoughts and feelings
The list can go on and on………… you know those feelings?
For me they come when I don’t trust the whispers of my heart and start doubting myself. Then I listen to others and as happened this week I get stuck. Paralysis analysis steps in. Absolute confirmation for me that FOCUS is one of my words for 2016.
Why start a daily practice of repeating to yourself I am enough?
Inspired by my friend The Soul Speaker Anne Aleckson who posted this week about her morning ritual and shared her I am enough 100 day challenge.
Anne commented that her world was opening up and she as feeling more open to receiving and new opportunities. She shared the video that got her started on the daily practice.
Like Anne I watched it and was impressed and took it on half-heartedly. Then I went back to listen yesterday and I was inspired with the stories of change, often quite dramatic that came about when one started to use these simple but challenging 3 words. Watch or listen to the talk by Marisa Peer an unusual therapist fascinated by how the mind works.
The Biggest Disease Affecting Humanity: “I’m Not Enough” by Marisa Peer
Marisa asks us to repeat:
I am enough
I am enough
I have always been enough
And now I know that I am enough
Everyone else knows it too
I will always be enough
This makes the unfamiliar, familiar.
Do share in the comments if you were inspired to start your own I Am Enough challenge. I am planning to start one in the Heart Whisper Circle, here on the blog and on my facebook page.
The talk is empowering , Marisa is funny and shares stories of inspiration that have come from writing I Am Enough in lipstick on a mirror.
Yesterday at the beach I wrote the words I am enough in the sand and then enveloped the words in a big heart. Believing you are enough boosts your self-esteem and then you look inside, trust and listen to the whispers of your heart. This leads to building your self-love too.
I have made some products that you can use daily to remind that you are enough.
Do you know you are enough?
Please share in the comments what you do maybe daily that is allowing you to really believe you are enough.
all my love
Listening to the whispers of your heart brings ♥More FUN ♥ More LOVE ♥ More ABUNDANCE ♥ Vibrant HEALTH ♥
I so appreciate sharing your vibrant, colorful journey. Thank you for sharing this valuable resource with us.
Hi Andrea, My pleasure and happy you were inspired xxoo
Love this mantra, Suzie. I am enough says it all. Thank you for the encouragement and important reminder!
So beautiful Suzie…when I look at you all I see is a bright shining vibrant being. How can that not be more than enough? Those pesky limiting beliefs are just some state of mind we picked up along the way, almost like a city we just are travelling through and I’m so happy you have a fabulous mantra to support you moving to the next state of mind – the beautiful one that is your birthright. I believe! 🙂
Generally, I feel good about myself and think I am enough. But there are subtle ways the “not enough” can sneak in. Thanks for this encouragement to remind myself I am enough, Suzie.
My pleasure Sandra, Yes funny how that pesky little voice creeps in occassionally xxoo
Lovely, it speaks to me. It fits so well with what my heart has been telling me. Thanks, Suzie, for sharing the video and mantra.
Welcome Elsie, i love the post inspired you such a simple process that reaps big change xxoo
Great mantra, Suzie. Believing you are enough exactly as you are is the only way you can reach beyond yourself in the right spirit. I love how you write it everywhere – constantly reinforcing it.
Hi Diane,
Yes writing it around me and continually see the words does reinforce it- will make a screen saver today. xxoo
LOVE this mantra. I have always been enough. Thanks for this Suzie.
That is wonderful Kimba and it comes through in your writing 🙂
You know Suzie, I am repeating this mantra with you. I am enough!
I have been beating myself up about a particular situation this past week, only to realize that I did the best I could with all my heart…and that is enough. So this comes at the perfect time for me.
Thank you!
xoxo, Z~
How wonderful Zeenat- no matter how much we work on ourself those words I am Not enough can creep in if you are not alert so I am finding daily practice is powerful xxoo
Years ago I did a transformational workshop and discovered we all harbor similar limiting beliefs. “I am not enough” or “I’m not lovable” were the two biggies. At first I thought not me, I’m too tough, but by peeling away the layers I saw what was so & I was able to accept my humanity. Thanks for helping this memory arise.
Hi Roslyn,
Yes I dis a similar workshop where i was asked to complete the sentence I am not…….. and I always came up with enough. The lovable one is another take- i might explore. Yes amazing how many layers we have to peel away xxoo
I love this beautiful sentiment. Beautiful to read, beautiful to speak, beautiful to look at, and beautiful to carve in the sand. I’m going to tuck this very thought into the bodice of the garment my new spirit doll will be wearing. Thanks for inspiring me.
Sue your comment here and on TWOF made my heart sing this morning. I am finding the mirror is really working for me. I love that you are inspired and I am encouraged to blog more 🙂 love and hugs Suzie xxoo
What a powerful mantra! Those pesky limiting beliefs come all too easy for most of us, and this is a wonderful way to remind ourselves of the truth. Thanks Suzie!
My Joy Marty, I know that since I wrote the mantra on my bathroom mirror I am giving myself more reminders. yes it ia good to realise it is the truth xxoo

Welcome Terry, my joy and yes the video I found powerful. xx
