share your stories. your love. your support. your heart.
I said a while back that part of a belief I used to have was that my self worth was contingent on the amount and type of attention that I received from men. For example,
- If a man said something fresh and sexual to me, all I was worth was my body and how I look.
- If a man texted/called me every day, I was finally worth love and attention.
- If I tried to break up with a man and he "fought" back, even a little bit, that finally meant I was worth sticking around for. Maybe, just maybe, he'd be in it for the long haul.
- If a man tried to have sex with me even though he barely knew me, that meant I wasn't worth getting to know, I was only worth a quick lay.
- If a man I had been seeing and dating for a few weeks wasn't ready to be physically intimate in any way with me, that meant I wasn't worth the risk of falling in love "for real". The ultimate rejection.
Self worth is intrinsic NOT contingent on any outside result, element, or circumstance.
FIRST... What are some of YOUR self worth contingencies? Write them down, share them!
THEN... Decide today, RIGHT NOW, how precious, treasured, worthy, and lovable you are. FINALLY... lean back, chill out, and WATCH the universe effortlessly reveal to you JUST how amazing you are.
Part 3 coming soon...
With love and freedom,
