For the longest time, my life was total chaos:<\/p>\n

My first born died of SIDS, my second child was diagnosed with Intellectual Disabilities, I went through a long, drawn-out, ugly divorce and was forced to declare bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

I really did feel like I had the proverbial black cloud hanging over my head. And I\u2019ll be honest, there were many days over the span of 10 years where I barely had the strength to get out of bed let alone do anything good for myself.<\/p>\n

It took a great deal of work on myself \u2013 therapy, coaching, journaling, and praying \u2013 to turn me around. I also immersed myself in personal-development courses from some of the leading experts like Wayne Dyer and Eckard Tolle.<\/p>\n

This why I coach women in midlife<\/a>.\u00a0 I remember how I felt in those dark days. As if there would never be anything good in my life, that I\u2019d never be happy.<\/p>\n

No matter what your circumstances are, what you\u2019ve endured or are currently going through, there is something I want you to consider.<\/p>\n

Do you feel unworthy?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes when I would meditate, I would see myself as a little girl \u2013 I would literally be talking to her and telling her she was good and kind and deserved happiness.\u00a0 And then I would start crying because as much as I was saying that to my little girl self, I didn\u2019t truly believe it.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t think I was worthy of happiness.\u00a0 Is there a little piece of you that doesn\u2019t think you\u2019re worthy of happiness?<\/p>\n

No matter where it came from, if it\u2019s there you need to acknowledge it and start changing the narrative. One of the ways to do this is to start talking to yourself in the mirror every morning. Maybe you don\u2019t like looking at yourself. Maybe you don\u2019t like the person you see.\u00a0 But force yourself, even if it\u2019s just for a minute, to look at yourself and say \u201cYou deserve happiness.\u201d\u00a0 Do this every day. I don\u2019t care if you feel silly talking to yourself, if you don\u2019t think you deserve happiness no one else will either.<\/p>\n

The other thing to do is write yourself a love letter. Write to the little girl you were and explain that she might have hard, sad, traumatic times but she\u2019s still loveable and kind.\u00a0 She is worthy of happiness. Write about the wonderful qualities she has and the good things she\u2019s done.\u00a0 End it by stating \u201cYou deserve happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m going to tell you right now \u2013 you are worthy of happiness.<\/u><\/p>\n

Is this something you struggle with? Reach out<\/a>, I\u2019d love to chat with you about it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
