Closing Thoughts (and final challenge!)
My friend, having gone through this self-esteem accelerator experience, you probably can see more than ever how feeling good about being you is action-oriented, at least at first. Over time, there will be a feeling within that doesn’t depend on action, a knowing, that you are not just enough, but irreplaceable. And yet when this knowing wavers, you can always return to the practices in this course if you haven’t adopted them permanently.
Before we part, I want to give you a final challenge. Complete this list and read it out loud. You’ll notice that every second line is the same. 20 reasons you love yourself.
I love myself because ____________________________________________.
And even if I wasn’t/didn’t/couldn’t, I still love myself.
I am worthy because _____________________________________________.
And even if I wasn’t/didn’t/couldn’t, I would still be worthy.
I have value because _____________________________________________.
And even if I wasn’t/didn’t/couldn’t, I still have great value.
I respect myself because __________________________________________.
And even if I wasn’t/didn’t/couldn’t, I still respect myself.
I am an incredible being because ___________________________________.
And even if I wasn’t/didn’t/couldn’t, I am still incredible.
I am worthy of love because _______________________________________.
And even if I wasn’t/didn’t/couldn’t, I am still worthy of love.
(and repeat in any combination using words that resonate with you)
Record these into you phone and listen, speaking along with the words. Keep your own worth in your awareness, until it feels so natural, it is no longer a thing.
And if you had to ask me what I thought of you, well, what I think is far less important that what you thing, but I’ll say it anyway.
From birth, even from your conception, you have been pure love and stardust. Right now, you contribute to your home, loved ones, communities and world in ways that cannot be fully fathomed. And yet, without a doubt, you make this world a better place, through your intentions and your actions. You are oh-so special, and even any dark within you only exists because of your ever-burning light. Yes, your worth is inherent, and it is also wrapped up in all your potential. The potential to make delicious relationships, to monetise your gifts, to be visibly in your element and to inspire others when you show up raw and unfiltered. Your body is precious and mystifyingly wonderful, as is your mind and soul. You are here for a reason, and even if you weren’t, your presence is a blessing. And everything amazing about you is compounded when you choose to do it on purpose. And while I will always do me, I only want to be in a world where you do you.
Love Becky
