Self-sabotage/Self-worth issue

I moved to the USA from Europe 6 years ago and my brain keeps telling me that I’m a failure and that I haven’t accomplish anything in my life. But the facts actually are that I did a lot of things like learning English, explore new things, start a business than work for a company, gone through a fertility journey, had a miscarriage, did IVF, had a beautiful son who’s now 2 years and half .

Now I’m starting a new business, that I feel is very aligned with who I am and although I’m making progress I keep beating my self up and although I know what are facts and what are just stories and thoughts in my head I feel like shit. My self-sabotage mechanism is so ingrained that it’s hard to get rid of. I want to think and believe that I’m worthy but I find it very hard. Thank you for your help!

Answer:

If thinking and believing that you are worthy are your end goal, and you’re struggling right now (which is totally okay and has no bearing on your worth – this is just your human experience right now), let’s come up with some things to help you take a small step in the direction of your goal. Name 3-5 things that you think make a person worthy (the person could be a stranger, a loved one, even your child). Since you’re a person, could it be possible that you’re worthy for the same reasons as the ones just thought up? Why or why not? Let us know what comes up for you in a follow up submission titled “Self worth pt. 2”.
