My last blog post was all about the value of discovering what fills up your energy tank and learning to nurture yourself without judgement.
How’s that going for you?
Did you forget all about this because you are just too busy at your job and with your life?
Demands around us can be overwhelming for sure. However believing you’re “too busy” is only a distraction from facing that you may have submitted to a false belief that you have to answer all these demands in an effort to prove your “enough-ness”. You prove your “enough-ness” by demonstrating your ability to “juggle it all” flawlessly.
Let’s face it “juggle it all” simply means keeping other people happy – and we all know it’s impossible to keep everyone happy all the time. What’s really behind this juggling is a fear that we aren’t “enough”. The juggling distracts us from addressing and healing our sense of “not enough-ness”. It’s our ego’s desperate quest for “please like me” which can only be experienced when everyone around us knight’s us by declaring “Hear ye, hear ye! From this day forward let it be known that (insert your full and formal name here) is in fact, a true specimen of ‘enough’ – MORE than ‘enough’!”
But the ego is cruel…
…the fear it’s desires stem from will only accept approval in a Universal law defying manner. It seeks approval from situations where approval is not possible due to the Universal law of like energy attracts like energy. That means that you cannot experience what you don’t believe – so you can’t find yourself in situations where your efforts bring you a sense of peace, accomplishment, and rewards if you hold fear around being “enough”. The truth is, holding a false belief that you are “not (worthy) enough” in any way can only put you in situations where you will continue to experience the very thing you fear.
Ever felt expected to perform impossible feats that stretch your knowledge/skills/abilities/values beyond their limits and only piss insatiable people off in the end no matter what you do?
Of course you have – we all have had held that fear of not being enough at one time or another. We are vulnerable to it when there is a lot of what seems like turmoil happening around us – ESPECIALLY if our livelihood is attached to these situations in any way (i.e. at your job)!
