Do you ever find yourself saying, "I am not enough"? Sometimes, it can seem like a nagging thought that gives you this feeling that you're inadequate and it can be hard to live with! Honestly, I see this in every single client that I've ever worked with over the last ten years so I can safely say, it's an epidemic. I once thought wealthy, suit-wearing CEOs would be confident, but they're not. Much to my surprise, even extremely wealthy, successful people are challenged by not feeling enough.

But here's the good news: you have the power to break free from this self-limiting belief.

You can develop the tools you need to create a shift in your mind to create your best self, a future version of yourself that's 100% free from struggling with self-doubt. The best way to achieve this is by working with an online life coach who can provide the guidance and support you need. In fact, the statistics show that people who work with life coaches, surpass people who don't as it relates to being well-adjusted, handling life transitions, and reaching their goals.

Building Yourself Up

Self-awareness is the first step toward embracing self-worth but in some cases, this leads to healing too. The feeling of inadequacy often stems from bad self-talk and deeply-held negative beliefs. We all do this. We repeat negative thoughts over and over, we're dwelling on the past and teaching our brain to think a certain way which causes us to feel a particular way, then we behave in a way that either supports our goals or creates depression or procrastination. 

This is actually creating a new thought-habit. Yes, we repeat a thought over and over for years, and it will create a version of ourselves that's depressed, sad, or even just feeling like we don't matter.

A client who I've been working with for a few months says to me, "no matter what I do, I always feel like I am not enough." That's rough for her because she's juggling a business, an 18-month-old and health issues from her pregnancy.

By working with an online life coach, you can gain insight into these thought patterns and recognize the beliefs that hold you back but more than that, you learn the characteristics and behaviors you need that pull you forward to that version of yourself you prefer to be. 

This is where real transformation starts, after all, it's not willpower that gets you to that next level. It's new ways of thinking, feeling, and acting that create the life you want. 

From Self-Criticism to Self-Compassion: Transforming the 'I Am Not Enough' Narrative

Your coach will guide you in challenging these negative thoughts. The best way to get rid of them is to replace them with positive mantras such as "I deserve this" and "I am good enough." The more you say it, the more you will believe it.

I Am Enough

Practicing self-care and self-compassion is crucial to embracing self-worth. Your online life coach will emphasize prioritizing your physical and mental well-being.

Engaging in activities that bring joy, nurturing healthy relationships, and setting boundaries are all part of self-care. By prioritizing self-care, you send a powerful message to yourself that you are worthy of love, care, and respect.

Self-compassion involves treating yourself with the same care and compassion one would offer to a friend or family member. It means acknowledging and accepting your imperfections, mistakes, and shortcomings without judgment or self-criticism.

By practicing self-compassion, individuals learn to respond to themselves with empathy and gentleness. This is much better than constantly beating yourself up!

Building Inner Confidence: Strategies to Combat the 'I Am Not Enough' Belief

Self-forgiveness also helps you build your self-worth. It involves letting go of resentment, guilt, and self-blame for past mistakes or regrets. By forgiving yourself, you can ease the emotional burden that hinders growth, allowing room for healing and progress.

Self-forgiveness is not about condoning or forgetting things you've done. It's about allowing yourself the freedom to move forward and learn from experiences.

An experienced online life coach can help you build these skills. One-on-one life coaching services give you tools to overcome your self-doubt. And online life coaching courses help you connect with others. You are not alone in these feelings!
