31 Days Of I Love Myself Enough : Day 27

DAY TWENTY SEVEN: I LOVE MYSELF ENOUGH TO BELIEVE I DESERVE GOOD THINGS

Growing up, I was often told, “You don’t deserve it.”

I remember being given toys to play with, feeling the excitement of having something lovely to enjoy, only for it to be taken away if I hadn’t been a “good” girl.

And then came those words again. “You don’t deserve anything nice.”

Imagine being a little girl, not really understanding what you’ve done wrong, but being made to feel that nice things are something you have to earn. That they can be taken away because you haven’t been good enough.

Those words hurt deeply. I began to believe them.

I grew up believing I wasn’t deserving. I had no idea that I had always been worthy of love, kindness and good things.

This was yet another life-changing teaching I learned from Louise Hay.

Through my inner work, I slowly began to challenge those old beliefs and open my heart to a new possibility: I was deserving. I had always been deserving. I deserved ALL GOOD.

I deserve love. I deserve happiness. I deserve peace. I deserve abundance. I deserve good things simply because I am me.

Today, I know I don’t have to be perfect, please everyone or prove my worth to deserve good things.

Neither do you.

You are deserving simply because you exist.

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: I AM DESERVING OF ALL GOOD. I OPEN MY HEART AND ARMS TO RECEIVE THE GOOD THAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER.

Sending you all so much love from my heart to yours
