Conquering the "Not Good Enough" Narrative: Reclaiming Your Power
Does this sound familiar? That nagging feeling you're not quite good enough, constantly needing to do more to be seen, heard, or understood? It's a surprisingly common experience, and one that can subtly derail our professional and personal lives.
The Automatic Comparison Trap
When we encounter someone else's impressive abilities, it's almost automatic to compare ourselves and conclude, "They must be better than me." This immediate external focus often stems from a deep-seated discomfort within ourselves. To avoid these unpleasant internal feelings, we seek quick fixes externally. This might manifest as taking on too much at work, leading to overwhelm and a feeling of being consumed by unachievable tasks. It's as if we lose control, becoming slaves to a relentless to-do list.
The Cycle of External Fixation and Self-Sabotage
This external focus can also lead to unhealthy competition. We might find ourselves fixating on others' achievements, pulling us further away from our inner self and true potential. This is where we lose our power. We become preoccupied with external validation, rather than trusting our own inherent worth.
This cycle often leads to a need for relief, which can manifest in various forms perhaps overeating or excessive drinking. While providing temporary comfort, these coping mechanisms ultimately exacerbate the "not good enough" feeling as we miss deadlines, neglect important family events, and watch time slip by without achieving our goals. The frustrating part is that this entire pattern often operates on a deeply subconscious level, a programme running since childhood, based on messages formed long ago.
Breaking Free from Subconscious Patterns
This ingrained cycle can feel incredibly difficult to break. Years can pass, and we might find ourselves repeating the same self-defeating patterns over and over.
