Of course. Let’s gently unpack and reframe that belief together.
💭 Step 1: Identify the belief
You often think: “I’m not good enough.”
This usually appears when we compare ourselves to others, fear failure, or expect perfection. It’s a learned belief — not a fact.
🔍 Step 2: Challenge the belief
Ask yourself:
- Where did I learn this idea? (A past failure, criticism, comparison?)
- Is there real evidence I’m not good enough — or just moments I struggled?
- Have I ever done something well, helped someone, or grown in a skill?
You’ll often realize: your “not good enough” moments are temporary setbacks, not proof of your worth.
🌱 Step 3: Reframe the belief
Try replacing it with more balanced, truthful thoughts:
- “I’m a work in progress — and that’s okay.”
- “I may not be perfect, but I have strengths and I’m improving.”
- “My worth isn’t measured by mistakes or others’ opinions.”
💪 Step 4:Reinforce the new mindset
- Keep a small “proof list” — note 3 things daily that show competence or effort.
- Practice self-compassion: speak to yourself as you would to a close friend.
- When the thought appears, say: “This is just an old story — I’m choosing a new one.”
