Uplevelling – Feeling like a failure – Part 2

Thank you I have done lots of journalling around this.

I think the biggest thing would be not feeling ashamed of where I’m at/not at. Feeling confident to put myself out there, take up space, ask for what I want.

Even just feeling neutral would be a step up. Not a success or a failure just a person working at their craft and getting a bit better each day.

But yeah trying to make myself feel successful feels like a step too far right now. My brains like ‘well thats a lie’. So instead I came up with self confident, accomplished, having potential, growing? I like the idea that its something more active as successful feels like an end result.

Then I started to think maybe I need to reframe how I think about failure because failure does show that I’m taking risks/putting stuff out there/not playing too safe. So maybe I should see it as more of a badge of honour. Or that I’m on the right track.

Answer:

Absolutely. Failing means you’re doing it. We learn so much from failures. We evolve so much from the failures.

What is shame telling you? What does it whisper in your ear? Give the shame its voice for a moment. When you have the emotional energy, show your brain that the shame is lying. You are light. Your worth is unchangeable. Love yourself. Keep moving. What is your first step?
