Enough: Authentic, complete, peaceful, assurance, satisfaction.
I'm not perfect, but I am enough.
I've been processing a situation in which I was highly triggered. And keep getting re-triggered. One of the things that came up, is that I was feeling bad for getting triggered.
But triggers aren't bad, they are only an indicator of unmet needs and unresolved pain. We abandon parts of ourselves to survive. Many people are scared or cautious of emotions, but what they are actually afraid of are their reactions. When we don't take care of our emotions, we stay stuck in repeating the same cycle again and again.
It's important to know that I care about how I feel. It's not selfish. How I feel is an indictor of something deeper going on. It is worthy of paying attention to. Only as I take care of myself can I care about how others feel. How I treat others is an indicator of how I treat myself.
Take a moment today to pause and ask: What am I needing today? Do I know that I'm enough just for who I am, apart from what I do?
What you do matters, but you matter more.
