Published: Jan. 10, 2022, 7:21 a.m.

It is highly likely there are some messages you have internalized from your childhood that still have a stronghold on you.\xa0These may have been explicit messages shared by friends and family members or maybe quiet, subtle, more insidious messages that became a part of who you are without you even realizing it.\xa0\n\nWhatever the case may be, these messages are holding you back.\xa0They are half truths at best and harmful lies at worst.\xa0They likely keep you stuck in self criticism, self doubt, and frequent not-enoughness.\xa0\n\nThese messages have likely created feedback loops in your brain that tell you stories and keep you repeating patterns that don\u2019t serve you and possibly even bring you great struggle.\xa0\n\nIn this episode I share three messages that I carried from my childhood:\n\n\nPeople can leave at any moment.\xa0And some people might not know how to love you.\n\nYour body size is a reflection of your worth.\xa0Smaller is always better.\xa0\n\nThere are barely enough resources to get by.\xa0If anything unexpected happens, there won\u2019t be enough.\n\n\nThese messages wove their way into my life in a variety of ways - some through observation, some were verbalized to me, and some were overheard (as I was/am a world class eavesdropper.)\xa0\n\nI am sharing these 3 messages with you because it is likely you can relate to at least one of them.\xa0And you can also probably think of a few more that are unique to you.\xa0\n\nIf you carry messages like these with you and keep listening to them you will constantly struggle to see potential and possibility in your life.\xa0As we enter another season of uncertainty in the world, we can\u2019t afford to carry messages that compromise possibility and potential.\xa0So, I\u2019m going to invite you to change your messaging and your thought loops - starting now.\xa0\n\nLink mentioned\nJoin my 2022 Plan & Prep Pajama Party: shamelessmom.com/pajamaparty\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
