Many of us have a “Core Belief” that we’re not good enough. Where and when this belief first showed itself differs for some, but its roots are usually way back from our childhood. At some point we perceived something we were told or shown, either by our parents, a teacher or other authority figure, to mean that we just weren’t good enough.
Core beliefs are deeply embedded within our psyche and can be challenging to change because we trusted the people who told us we were not good enough, or not deserving. If you were told by a parent something you did was not good enough,” that parent may have said those words in a moment of frustration or emotion, but the impact can live on in your subconscious mind for many years, if not your entire life, if not challenged.
As we grow and learn, we realize people do and say many things that can be perceived as hurtful. Sometimes they mean what they say but most times they are projecting their emotions and feelings. To allow someone’s momentary, often emotionally driven outburst of negativity, to affect the rest of your life is an atrocity, but it happens every day. Most of us can remember something hurtful that was said to us, even decades later and more times than not, the person expressing their emotion has no recollection at all, but their words or actions may have left a deep wound on our own emotional balance.
So how do we change and heal these negative Core Beliefs? The answer is simple and I know you may scoff at it because of its simplicity, therefore I will explain it further. The answer is Love Yourself!
By going within, quieting yourself, opening your heart and connecting to the Love that is deep within your Being, yes, deep within each and every one of us, you allow yourself to connect to the truest form of healing possible. The Core Belief was created by an act that was “unloving” and it can be healed by regaining the balance…by replacing the unloving words or deed with Love. That Love doesn’t have to come from the person who hurt you. It can come from you, yourself.
You have enough Love inside of you to heal every wound that could ever be inflicted, dispel any negative thought, word or deed, and heal a thousand sorrows . You have so much Love inside of you, it oozes out. Sometimes you don’t recognize this Love for what it is. You may just think you’re sentimental or caring, or conscious of the environment, animals and children, but this is all a part of the Love that is so prevalent inside of you, it escapes without any intention behind it at all. Imagine what you can do when you have intention, when you set your mind to sharing and healing with that Love.
Love is the ultimate healer and you have everything you need to heal any wound, hurt or Core Belief you’ve carried, no matter how long you’ve held it for. You can Love yourself enough to put that belief down and set it free.
Love yourself the way you always wanted to be Loved. Think of yourself as the beautiful, innocent, child you once were, still are … inside, and give that wonderful child the Love and praise she/he always desired. Tell that child, “It doesn’t matter what other people do or say, I love you exactly as you are. You are perfect just as you are. ”
What other people do and say is a reflection of what’s going on with them and has little to nothing to do with you. Once you understand this fact, you can let go of “their business,” and tend to you own. Your business is Loving yourself and taking good care of You! You deserve it!! You always have and you always will! You are worth it and you are Loveable and you are perfect just as you are! You are Love!
Have a beautiful day!!
