Oh love, you’ve been running so hard. Hustling for gold stars. Checking all the boxes. Proving your worth one to-do list at a time. But somewhere along the way, the finish line kept moving—and so did your peace. Let’s slow down. Because guess what? You were already enough before the accolades, the performance, the approval. You’re not here to earn your worth. You’re here to remember it. Let’s stop striving and start receiving. You’ve done enough, friend. You are enough. Signature Patterns: • Struggling to rest without guilt. • Equating your value with productivity. • Setting the bar higher every time you reach it. • Striving, pushing, proving, and still not feeling fulfilled. • Living in “when/then” mode: “When I ____, then I’ll feel worthy.” What You Might Believe: • If I slow down, I’ll fall behind.• Rest is for later—after I’ve earned it.• I’ll be lovable once I achieve more.• I need to prove I’m worth investing in. • If I’m not performing, I’m not valuable. What You’re Really Craving: • Permission to rest, play, be. • To feel proud of yourself without needing external validation. • To know that who you are—not what you produce—is enough. • To reconnect with your joy, not just your goals. • To be loved in your stillness, not just your success. What Will Set You Free: Redefining success on your own terms.Releasing the belief that worth is something you earn. Letting yourself rest without guilt. Learning to celebrate being just as much as doing. Healing Moves to Try: Rest Ritual: Set aside sacred, non-negotiable rest. Not earned. Not justified. Just because you deserve it. Enoughness Inventory: Write down everything you’ve already done. Then write, “I didn’t have to do any of this to be worthy.” Celebrate Without Conditions: Acknowledge wins—even tiny ones. You don’t need a parade to throw confetti for yourself. Body-Led Days: Let your body—not your calendar—guide your choices. Trust the body's pace. Reflection Prompts: • What story do I carry about rest, worth, and success? • What do I think I have to do to be “enough”? • How do I talk to myself when I slow down? • What part of me still feels like I have to hustle for love? Your Becoming: From: “The one who earned love through performance.” To: “The one who knows their enough, even when they're still.” 💖 Wanna Go Deeper?
