Day 18: Being Enough
I’m not enough.
Have you ever felt this way?
I know I have.
As a woman with ADHD tendencies, there are those days where I simply feel like I’m not enough.
Like something within me is broken.
Like things that feel so challenging for me seem so easy for others.
Sometimes when you’ve spent a lifetime being subtly corrected for things like
being unorganized
running late
poor planning
taking a long time to finish somthing
not finishing many things
having piles of stuff
shutting down
being super sensitive
being unreliable
forgetting things
misplacing things
losing things
the list goes on…
you can feel like something’s gone horribly wrong. You may feel llike you’re not even really an adult. You can barely take care of yourself, let alone anyone else.
If and when you feel this way pause and remember that you are not your condition.
You are enough. Exactly as you are.
You are worthy. There is nothing that needs to be done to earn or prove that you’re worthy. You just are.
Every single one of us was born that way. Fearfully and wonderfully made.
When you are tempted to look outside of yourself for a solution…nothing else is needed.
When you are tempted to find another planner, chart, program, system…nothing else is needed.
Just start from the place that nothing else is needed.
Just you.
You are enough.
