Worthfull Project

"Be patient with yourself. Nothing in nature blooms all year."

 

I've been practicing a lot of patience so far this year. In the pandemic, in my business, in my marriage, in other ways. It's been powerful and stretching and at times tiring. But I'm trusting that seasons of patience are leading to seasons of blooming and activity and excitement. And that I'll be so grateful I had the patience to experience all of these quiet moments before the bloom.

This worthfull affirmation is a reminder that every season has deep value for us - the blooming, the shedding, the hibernation, and the germination. Patience is what lets our worth do its work and bring us again and again to a new bloom.

As long as you do not know

How to die and come to life again,

You are but a sorry traveler

On this dark earth.

- Johann von Goethe  

I heard a short poem by Goethe in a mediation class a few years ago, and I jotted it down in a note on my phone because it struck me so much. Every so often, I'll see the note and re-read it and it still lands for me in the same way. The idea of death and birth being a natural cycle, that can happen again and again within a lifetime, is so powerful when we remember that our worth is intact through every chapter. It's the spark that allows a new phoenix of ourselves to emerge after every chapter ends.

I recorded a worthfull affirmation to share the thoughts I've collected through the years about this cycle. As we come out of this chapter of a global death and rebirth through a pandemic and societal unraveling, I am especially grateful for this knowledge. Our worth will birth us into every new chapter if we remember its purpose is just that.

Worth is constantly birthing belief.

 

I've been listening to some great new voices in business, entrepreneurship, mindset, and lifestyle. They're refreshing, honest, empowering, and grounded. (And they happen to be women, mostly women of color. Coincidence?) They are reminding me that belief in myself is the beginning of making my dreams reality. Not the daydream kind of belief -- I'm already excellent at that. But belief in my own strength, talent, and ability, as well as belief in a higher source that is supporting and invested in my success.

I recorded a worthfull affirmation to capture the thoughts I've been having lately as a result of tuning into new energy, new sources, and new stories about how to make my bigger dreams happen. I hope it serves you in the same way.

Worth is the foundation that allows us to believe in faith and hope.

 

Faith, hope and charity are the three highest virtues espoused in Christianity. I've been raised on their power and importance my whole life, and I believe in them. But I had a thought before I made this affirmation that worth is the foundation piece that allows us to believe in these.

This affirmation episode is for you -- to remember that faith, hope, and worth have the power to keep you going through anything.

Freedom is an experience we create for ourselves.

 

I've been thinking about freedom lately and not in the physical sense. I've been thinking about freedom of spirit and of mind. Freedom from the walls I can build around myself when I think I'm not good enough. When I am not meeting my own expectations.

This affirmation episode is for you -- to remember where freedom really comes from and that our worth is perpetually free, in the best way.

You are capable of staying uncomfortable and finding comfort there.

 

We're back to affirmation episodes this week. I'm all about breathers and breaks because they re-energize me around the things I love. I spent some time last week in a national park, off the grid, and soaked in all the medicine Mother Nature offers. It was a wonderful breather, and it gave me perspective on all the discomfort I've felt the past several months.

Just like hiking up a mountain, discomfort is temporary. It's a growing process. We come out stronger from it if we choose. More importantly, our worth reminds us that we are still everything we feel when we are comfortable, when we are uncomfortable. And we can remind ourselves of that at any time.

If you've been wondering if it's the right time to be creative, it is. And you are.

 

I'm breaking the affirmation episode streak to tell a little story and do a little check-in with my year-long resolution to be a maker. To create. To reconnect with all my desires and abilities to explore art forms and make new things. I am loving it! Just a few months into the year, I've been making so much more than in any chapter of my life. And I'm noticing a shift in my identity.

My confidence is growing. Other people are starting to think of me as a creative. I'm starting to think of myself as a true maker. I'm feeling the strength grow in my creative muscles. I'm settling into new habits of how I do work and play and expression.

If you've been feeling the call to create, to express, and to explore, I hope you do. It's the worthfull way.

Your worth is ready for you to be the same on the outside and completely different on the inside.

 

Welcome to a new season of the show: the Worthfull Affirmations season. Every other week, I'll release a new episode on the podcast that will be a short affirmation set to music on a topic related to owning our worth.

When I asked myself what affirmation I was ready to receive and give this week, I heard the phrase "your worth is ready." As soon as I heard that, I realized that my worth is always ready - for whatever I most deeply desire. Your worth is also ready. It's ready for the things you've been brave enough to admit only to yourself. Because your worth is listening to it all, and it is ready to walk with you.

Let me know what you think! Are you enjoying these affirmation episodes?

Quiet down, listen in, and trust that you do know what to do.

 

Welcome to a new season of the show: the Worthfull Affirmations season. Every other week, I'll release a new episode on the podcast that will be a short affirmation set to music on a topic related to owning our worth.

I've been learning how to navigate new levels of possibility and self-doubt, simultaneously. As they say, new level new devil. So today's affirmation is based on the infinite truth that I'm constantly reminding myself of: my innate wisdom already knows what to do.

There is no proving needed.

 

Welcome to a new season of the show: the Worthfull Affirmations season. Every other week, I'll release a new episode on the podcast that will be a short affirmation set to music on a topic related to owning our worth.

I've been thinking a lot about my value, both in my career and as a human being. It's easy to get fixated on certain markers of value that we've made up in this world. But if we choose, we can focus instead on what makes us valuable already, as we are, with no markers necessary.

Let me know what you think! Are you enjoying these affirmation episodes?
