Ladies, never underestimate the power of positive affirmations. Women have more power than they realise. You can achieve whatever you want to achieve, within reason, if you set some challenging goals and pursue them with determination and hard work. You can accept life as it is or pursue the life you want. It won’t happen by accident, but if other people can make it happen, so can you.

Stop feeling inadequate:

It’s natural on occasion to question whether you are enough. You may wonder if you’re good enough for your friends, your family, your job, and the lifestyle you choose to lead. Such thoughts may lead to feelings of being inadequate. This happens to most of us, at least occasionally.

Although this is not a great feeling to have, it only needs to be temporary.

Such feelings should encourage you to do some self-reflection and focus on all the positive parts of your personality. The good and the not-so-good.

Allowing yourself time for reflection will allow any feelings of inadequacy to disappear.

Take a moment to consider how you can change these feelings!

How to stop feeling so inadequate:

1. Remind yourself of your success:

Sometimes, all it takes is a moment where you remind yourself how far you’ve come.

1. Draw up a list of everything you are proud of. Consider any educational courses you’ve taken, achievements from your job, and the activities, events, books, television shows, and even clothes that you like and appreciate.
2. Write down everything that allows you to identify yourself as an individual.
3. Doing this allows you to look at your achievements, your likes, and dislikes, and all the different aspects of your personality that make you relevant, important, and interesting.
4. Writing these ideas down can help you to condense, collate and organize your thoughts and remind yourself of just how far you’ve come in this difficult world!
5. It is far too easy these days to compare yourself to everyone else.
6. Whether it’s on social media, conversations with our friends, or just judging somebody who is walking down the street, we all tend to compare ourselves to somebody else.
7. It’s time to stop those comparisons. They are unhealthy and toxic and will cloud your judgment with negative thoughts.

2. Understand that you are unique:

Remember the previous suggestion, where you write down your successes, likes, and dislikes that define you as a person.

1. It’s a great way of reminding yourself that you have your personality and shouldn’t be comparing yourself to anyone else.
2. Remember; you are enough as you are.

3. Widen your social circle:

This may sound somewhat counterproductive, but it could be that some of your friends in your friendship group have inadvertently made you feel inferior or inadequate.

1. Consider trying to meet new people with new points of view. They will be less likely to judge your lifestyle, or your choices and they can get to know you for the individual that you are.
2. Don’t ignore your current friends, just have a wider circle with new points of view!

4. Do something for yourself:

Whether you want to go on vacation for a while or want to start a new hobby, take the plunge, and do something different.

1. You’ll feel much more in control if you dare to take a chance and do something for yourself.
2. You won’t feel inadequate, instead, you’ll feel excited and full of purpose.

5. Take a social media detox.

Social media can be useful, interesting, and fun, but it can also be toxic at times. With social media, it’s easy to compare ourselves to others in the same way we compare ourselves to other people in person.

1. Consider deactivating or taking a break from social media for a while and allowing yourself to live in the moment and enjoy everything that you have around you.
2. Your social media accounts will still be there to come back to after you’ve had a break, and you’ll view them with a new perspective.

A feeling of being inadequate can be hard to shake off. However, it’s not impossible. You just need to make sure that you don’t compare yourself to others and that you live your individual, authentic life to the best of your ability.

Conclusion:

Your life can be better than it is, but it won’t happen by accident. You need to identify the life you really want, then the steps you need to take to get there. Once you’ve done that you need to set some goals and pursue them with determination, hard work, and a refusal to quit until you get to where you want to be.

It’s not easy, of course, but other people do it and so can you.

Nothing worth having ever comes easy. Nevertheless, other people succeed, so why not you?

Why not have a go? Yes, you might not get there but it’s better to try and fail than to never try at all. At least you won’t look back and wonder what might have been. And you might surprise yourself.

Affirmations are how you will keep yourself going until you have the life you desire.

Go for it!
