What changes can we make to cultivate the feeling that what we have, and
who we are is enough?

How often have we felt that what we are doing isn’t enough? Or how often do we know, we have what we need and yet, continue to look outside for more?
Most of us can confirm we have all felt this at times, but that’s not the problem. Rather, it’s how we respond to these feelings of inadequacy.
The first thing I used to do, was distract myself from these feelings. The minute I felt them, I would find something else to focus on, or I would make plans to create more busyness in my life. However, all that resulted from this approach, was more feelings of not being enough.
And so, I learned to slow down and sit with these thoughts and feelings. At first, it seemed impossible to do and it felt unproductive. But as I learned to be still, feel, and accept these thoughts and feelings, I began to notice if I didn’t respond to them, they passed.
The more I practiced this, the lighter I felt.
It takes courage to surrender and be with all that arises in us. Some days are harder than others. It takes discipline to be the observer of our beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, but over time, we will discover the truth.
We have always been and will always be beautifully enough. 🌈
LIVING IN THIS MOMENT 
Well spoken kind lady, we will ‘be enough’ as we understand that we are indeed perfect as we are. Great share, thank you 😀❤️🙏
Thank you Mark 🙏🏻🌈
Such an important truth to remember, Karen. Thank you. for sharing this. 💜
Thank you Carol. May we all feel and know we are enough. 🥰🩷
Very relatable ❤️☮️
Thank you for being here Ali 🤗🧡🥰
To be with what is, and who we are, is the most difficult and freeing step we can take. A lovely share Karen. The photo evokes younger innocent and heart opening times. Thank you for the smile and memories. 💐🙏🏻💝
I absolutely agree Val and the picture reminded me too of an open heart and acceptance of all that is possible in us! Thank you 🤗🧡🥰
Gentle and wise advice, Karen. Thank you! 🙏🏼💜
My pleasure. Thank you Eliza 🥰🌈🤗
Thank you so much for this reminder, Karin. I’m in one of these episodes right now, observing my thoughts and nurturing the awareness in me with kindness where I want to react internally with the exasperation of not-enoughness. I’m sitting. And I can’t be eager to know for how long, but I often am! 💝🪷💝 May our lotuses bloom in awareness and enoughness!
Thank you Ka and I honour you for giving space to these feelings and thoughts. We all have them and we all suffer with them, but it takes courage to be still and observe them and to remember this is not who we are.
And yes! May we bloom fully 🌼and shine our true nature to each other always ☘️🧡
🙏🏼💗🌸🙌🏻🥰🪷

We’ve all been there that’s for sure. A wonderful reminder to be a little gentler and accept ourselves for who we are.
