I give up believing that I’m not enough. I used to think if I had longer/shorter hair, if I was funnier, if I was more likeable, if I had nicer things, if I cooked better, if I knew more then I would be loved more. Then I realized there was no limit to the ‘more’ I had to be and what I am already is plenty. Good bye ‘not enough’.
I give up waiting for someone else to make the first move. The friendships I have missed out on and the connections I haven’t made because I was too shy to say hello… now I say hi, I say yes, I say who are you?
I give up negative self talk. I’ve certainly had many unkind things to say to myself…which never helped and only made me feel worse and unempowered. Giving it up like yesterday’s news.
I give up trying to hold sand castles together with my hands. Some things just won’t stay together no matter how steady I am.
I give up trying to be all things to all people. There are certain things that make my heart soar and light me up inside. I want to be all things in these ways… I don’t need to be all things for anyone else.
I give up taking responsibility for another’s choices. It’s your choice, and your life lesson… if I pick up the pieces for you I’m robbing you. Good riddance!
I give up allowing bad behaviour towards me. Fool me once, shame on you…
I give up self sabotage. I don’t always recognize it, but I’m starting to develop some pretty mad skills at noticing when I could have made a choice that would have moved me forward instead of backwards. Off with your head self sabotage!
I give up moving backwards. See previous.
I give up the control my ego wishes to have. This one has so many layers and I’m working through them and sorting them out as I go.
I give up assuming I know other people’s opinions about who I am. I have ruined more friendships than I have built with this assumption. Usually it’s only a reflection of my insecurities and nothing more. Gone.
I give up greed. I have enough and I am grateful for all that I have. It’s time to be generous with my attention, my thoughts, and my love.
I give up separating myself from others. We are all the same at our core, we are all one.
I give up negative motivations. I will do it for you, I will do it for love, I will do it for us.., but I will not do it because of you, to spite you, or to cause harm.
I give up taking it all so damn seriously.
