Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 馃
As humans, we naturally yearn for more in life; that's what the human experience is characterized by: an insatiable desire for more. Even after getting the more we always wanted, we still feel deep within us that the more is not enough because we are left with this lingering sense of discontent that often persists, so we strive for more again, and the cycle keeps going.
This cycle of more has kept us wondering what truly satisfies our deepest longing. Having the feeling of not being enough is normal. I think almost everyone, if not everyone, feels this way; it's a common human experience. I feel this feeling usually stems from personal goals and expectations, societal pressure, or even past experiences.
I have felt not being enough a number of times I cannot count. As a mom, there are times I feel like I am not doing enough for my kids, that there's just more for me to do. I also feel this way towards my parents and siblings. I usually feel as the first child there's more expected of me, even though my family doesn't ask or disturb me about anything.
I just feel I need to do more for them.I don't think feeling not enough is something we naturally learn; I think it's a response to external influences.
How would you handle that feeling?
Basically, one way I have helped myself handle those feelings of not being enough is by appreciating and celebrating my small wins and every achievement. This has been a game changer for me, and it works like magic.
What do you think would help someone who feels like they're not enough?
Just like I said, help them to appreciate and celebrate every small milestone that has been achieved. Help them identify their strengths, give them listening ears, and don't be judgmental; this will go a long way.
In conclusion, if we get to recognize our worth and value, it will help us big time to alleviate this feeling of not being enough.
THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 馃
