Self-Worth Affirmations
As I was creating this website and starting my own business, I realized that I was struggling with self worth. I initially believed that it was my difficulty with setting prices that was the issue. But once I broke it down, I realized I was not trying to charge my worth due to fear. Fear of the unknown, fear that if I charged my worth, no one would pay. Fear that they would not see the worth in my services. Which begged the questions 1) why did I not expect people to see my worth? 2) If I could not acknowledge my own worth and what I bring to the table, how could I expect anyone else to? and lastly 3) How can you open a business, if you are not willing to receive (whether that is help, support, or monetarily through paid for services)?
Money is energy, right? So it is safe to say, it is an energy exchange when someone offers money for services. So what was it in me that did not know how to accept people giving me things–not even money. I found it difficult to receive help from others, receive gifts–monetary. Anything that did not involve me being the giver in any situation was troublesome to me. This is when I realized I needed a perspective shift before I began my entrepreneur journey. I spent some time with myself working through this but affirmations were definitely helpful. These are a few affirmations that I used to help realign with the mindset that I wanted! All affirmations are from my personal journal except the ones with an author or that specify “unknown”.
“I am powerful. I am limitless. I effortlessly use my gifts to create the life I desire!”
“I am open to receiving. I have no shame, fear, or guilt with receiving on any energetic level” (financially, with people's time, gifts, knowledge, etc)
“I am deserving of good things–love, support, abundance, peace, joy!”
“I welcome opportunities. I am open to opportunities of abundance in love (sol tribe, sol-mate etc), health, wealth, and freedom!”
“Receiving is an action. I do not have to do anything to receive!”
“Abundance is my birthright”– The HoodHealer
“I am exactly who, where, & when I am meant to be.”
“I am not my mind. I do not let my thoughts speak louder than my intuition.”
“I choose myself EVERYDAY–despite others' choices and no matter what life circumstances may happen!”
“I call back my energy. And my power from anyone who has even a BIT of it! May this energy return to me NOW–blessed and transmuted (also send back energy that does not belong to you–blessed and transmuted as well)”
PS: I personally like to follow up affirmations with a gratitude list
