Many of us grew up feeling a sense of inadequacy, a lack of self-worth. Maybe it’s because our parents were critical, neglectful or we felt different in some way. As we grew older, we developed illnesses that only added to the problem.
Instead of a feeling of not enoughness that’s hidden, our chronic illness makes our imperfection, our lack of wholeness evident.
But none of that matters when it comes to measuring your worth.
It takes time and work to recover what you lost in childhood and recalibrate after you received a diagnosis. But it is possible to learn to love and accept yourself when you realize that nothing you do or don’t do equates with your self-worth. Our posts this week echoes the sentiment, helping you to retrain what you believed, let go of the belief that something is wrong with you, and teach you how to accept yourself.
