You've probably heard this before,
That you have to feel worthy to receive.
That unworthiness blocks your manifestations.
That if you don't believe you deserve it,
The universe won't give it to you.
But here's the thing,
Worthiness isn't something you build,
It's something you remember.
Hey there,
Friend.
My name is Anthony,
And thanks for hitting play today.
Every one of us has felt unworthy at some point.
We all have those moments,
Those stories that pop up where we feel unworthy.
But perhaps trying to earn your worthiness keeps you stuck in the illusion that you're separate from it.
Because the more you chase worthiness,
The more you reinforce that story that you don't already have it,
That you have to acquire it.
So what if we don't become worthy through effort?
We reconnect with the truth that we already are.
Because we can't receive or manifest from a place of proving.
We can only receive when we relax into our beingness,
Into our truth of who we are.
I want to share with you three simple steps that will almost feel like a bit of a guided practice that can help you stop fighting your worth and tap into that remembrance that you are indeed already worthy.
So you can start allowing more of what you desire to flow into your life.
So let's start from the place where all transformation begins,
Where all spiritual growth happens.
Awareness.
By simply noticing where in your life you're trying to earn your enoughness.
Take a slow breath right now.
And ask yourself gently,
Where in my life am I still trying to prove myself?
It might be through achievement,
Constant productivity,
Or even constant self-improvement,
Constant spiritual growth.
Unworthiness really hides in subtle ways.
It's not really flashy all the time.
It shows itself in things like overworking,
Overthinking,
Or always trying to fix yourself.
It hides in these sneaky places,
In these behaviors that we just take for granted.
I invite you to really consider,
What am I doing right now to earn what I already deserve?
What aspects in your life,
What endeavors,
What goals,
What projects,
What relationships are there as a way for you to earn what you already are,
What you already deserve?
And when we see it clearly,
Then it can loosen its grip.
So awareness is really the first act of remembering your worthiness.
So you might be thinking,
Okay,
I'm aware of all this.
I know this.
I'm aware of all the ways I try to earn my worth.
I get it,
But I still feel unworthy.
So with this next step,
Awareness is nice,
But we have to see really what it is we're doing with worthiness,
The pedestal we're placing it on.
We have to go from seeing worthiness as a goal,
As a destination,
And really seeing worthiness as nothing more than a permission slip,
A permission slip you give to yourself.
It's an act of self-empowerment.
So if worthiness is not a goal,
Like all matters of spiritual growth,
We trade striving for worthiness with allowing.
We replace all the ways we're seeking worthiness in just allowing it.
We allow ourselves to be worthy.
We give ourselves that permission.
So the next time you find yourself trying to earn love,
Earn success,
Earn respect,
Take a breath through your heart.
Whisper to yourself,
I don't have to earn this.
I only have to allow it.
I don't have to earn this.
I only have to allow it.
Feel what happens in your body when you say that.
What does it feel like to allow yourself to be worthy,
To feel worthiness?
Striving will soften,
And in that softening is where worthiness reveals itself.
It's like opening up a clenched fist.
We're striving,
Striving so much.
Our fist is clenched.
We're tight.
But when we soften,
Let go,
We open up to what is already here.
We allow ourselves to receive worthiness from ourselves.
So in this step,
We shift from trying to control to trust.
We trust our worthiness.
Okay,
So we start with noticing where we're trying to earn our worth.
We replace striving for worthiness in just allowing it.
And then in this final step,
And it's been a big one for me in my life,
We practice receiving without guilt or shame.
Has anyone ever given you a compliment and you deflect it,
You minimize it,
You push it away?
Or maybe a new opportunity comes your way and you shrink,
Downplay it,
You avoid it?
Sometimes we do that.
Sometimes we resist receiving from others,
From all that life's trying to give us.
And in this last part is where worthiness becomes real by practicing it.
So we can't downplay our own worthiness.
We can't reject receiving and then expect to remember our worthiness.
So the practice here is to let yourself receive without guilt,
Without apology,
Without any excuses.
So when someone compliments you,
You pause before you deflect.
And you say,
Thank you.
And you feel grateful for it.
When that new opportunity comes,
Instead of shrinking,
You breathe and stay open and get excited.
You tap into courage.
We need to normalize receiving without guilt because this can become such an unconscious knee-jerk reaction to always downplay ourselves,
To always be in a state of humility and minimizing ourselves.
And once we normalize receiving,
That allows reality to mirror that back to us.
Once we expand our capacity to receive,
There is more the universe can give us.
We are open now for more.
We have greater capacity within us to hold more.
So where in your life can you allow yourself to receive without guilt?
Where in your life do you downplay yourself when reality is trying to give you something?
What would it be like to stop asking,
How do I become more worthy?
And just start remembering that I'm the one through which this is meant to flow.
You've always been worthy,
Not because of what you do or because of what you accomplish,
But because you exist.
You're a soul having a human experience.
That is your inherent worthiness.
And the moment you stop proving,
You start receiving.
Take one breath for any part of you that still doubts this.
And take one breath for the part of you that already knows it's true.
You are enough as you are.
Thanks for listening today.
Don't earn your worthiness.
You remember it.
Much love.
