10/27/2018 0 Comments Are you happy with who you are??![]() I am happy with who I am. For those of us who had traumatic births, were not wanted, or had trauma early in life, this can be a daunting phrase to believe and live. Everything in us can tell us differently. Yet that just isn’t true. You are worthy of love, first the love is from you! 3 This one took me years and years. Literally. Tons of counseling, step work, working with sponsors, sponsees, reading all the self-help stuff, taking classes, etc. The time when this lesson really came to me with an old friend. He taught me this phrase, “I like who I am when I’m with you” Wait, what? Is that a codependent phrase? Let me say it again… “I like who I am when I’m with you. “ For me that phrase has helped me to find my people. You see, when I am my most comfortable, most natural self, then that is a place or person I should be around. When my anxiety rises, I feel insecure and stumbling, that is not a situation that I need to be a part of. That easy. If I don’t like who I am being, then I can leave until I feel familiar to me again.
At first I used that phrase to help me to break my codependency and anxiety in social situations. Once I found “my people”, I used it to help me move through uncomfortable situations. I found my people, my place, my heart, I knew I could go anywhere and be authentic. Yes, today I have found a way to be happy with who I am. I am not perfect, still have anxiety, weird quirks and social anxiety. Yet the feeling that I need to run away and hide is gone, the feeling that I don’t measure up has left. Allow yourself to heal, the love you are seeking is within you. I promise, when you learn your value, when you see it, you will never again allow yourself to live a life less than what you deserve. And my darling, you deserve the best!
