Many times old messages from dysfunctional others cause us to turn them on ourselves and we start to backslide and refuse to acknowledge our good qualities, accomplishments, talents or traits. A new rejection or breakup can cause us to doubt ourselves again. We not only stay stuck but we stop pursuing our dreams and goals.  It’s important to recognize the signs and symptoms of unwittingly giving into the old messages and to keep doing the work to keep it from happening. #self-confidence #self-respect #goals #aspirations #talents #affirmations
