Breaking Free from the “Not Enough” Lie
There’s a phrase that has haunted me most of my life: “not enough.”
Not pretty enough.
Not disciplined enough.
Not the right body, not the right timing, not the right energy.
It’s a lie that sneaks into every corner of a woman’s mind, especially when life feels heavy.
But here’s the truth I’m learning: enough is not something you achieve, it’s something you already are.
Think about it, babies don’t “earn” the right to be loved. Flowers don’t “try harder” to bloom. They just exist, and that existence carries value. You and I are no different.
The real shift happens when you stop measuring your worth against moving targets: social media standards, family comparisons, or even the version of yourself you thought you’d be by now.
Enough is not a future achievement, it’s a present reality.
So what does “enough” look like in action?
Enough is choosing rest when the world pushes hustle.
Enough is saying “no” without writing a 3-paragraph explanation.
Enough is getting up again after you’ve fallen apart.
Here’s the superpower in all of this:
When you decide you’re enough, you unlock energy you didn’t even know you had. Instead of pouring it into proving yourself, you pour it into becoming yourself.
You are enough. Today. Right now. Exactly as you are.
