Why do we feel 'not enough'? What to do about it, and how?"
- Start a 60-90 Day Journal: Begin by listing what you believe you’re good at, along with your qualities and flaws. Keep these pages separate so you can return and add to them over time.
- Seek Feedback: Make a list of what family or friends think you’re good at. This can help broaden your perspective.
- Identify Personal Goals: List things you feel you need to accomplish to feel fulfilled.
- Take Action: Identify which goals you can start working on right now, and make small steps to begin.
- Create a Timeline: For other goals, set a realistic timeframe—how many weeks or months will it take? Plan your steps.
- Address Past Hurt: Write down who has hurt you in the past or made you feel inadequate.
- Reflect on Growth: Ask yourself if the “new you” feels enough today. Reflect on how you’ve grown.
- Explore Additional Reasons: List other possible reasons that contribute to feeling this way.
- Recognize Boundaries: Understand that if you’re “not enough” for certain people, perhaps they aren’t meant to be in your life.
- Affirm Your Worth: Remember, you are enough for yourself and for the people who genuinely value you.
