January 5th

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

– Aesop

January 5th - Paul Scadding

My loves, I have a scenario for you to think about…

Someone you really care about comes to you and they tell you they feel utterly worthless, they tell you they are not good enough in any way, that they are failing at life and they are unloveable.

Please comment and tell me what you would say to them and WHY you would say it…

    I’d remind them that they are unique, and that they have their own special things to offer the world. Mention what they may be…loving, caring, funny, smart, hardworking, a good friend…and anything else that applies.
    Remind them how far they’ve come if they had to deal with hardships, what they have achieved and/or are trying to achieve.
    To ask them to be kind to themselves, appreciate themselves…find joy in simple
    I’d say above as I’d want to provide comfort and support, and to try to help them see themselves in a softer more gentle and positive light. ♥️

    I would tell them that they are not worthless, they are worthy and more than good enough. And that so many people love them, they can’t be unlovable :))

    Similar to Diane, who has worded this so lovely.

    I particularly like the reminding how far they have come, recognising the wins they have in life, and that they are unique. I would also give them a big hug, I’m a hugger 🤗

    I’m trying to apply …it ebbs and flows at times …

    I’d ask them why they think they are worthless and depending on their answer, I would correct their negative opinions of themselves and remind them about all the amazing things they have accomplished before and what they are doing in the present. I’d also remind them they are human, life is messy and not linear and that I love them very much because of X, Y, Z.

    I would tell them that being worthwhile is not just about being successful/rich/famous, and every time they do the smallest thing to help someone/something else feel better – feeding the birds, smiling at a bus driver, helping an elderly lady carry their coffee tray in Nero – proves their worth; I would tell them that because I find that bringing good feeling to someone else makes me feel worthwhile.
    Also, they are not unloveable, they just haven’t yet found someone good enough to deserve their love; their friends love them and the universe loves them, not because of what they have achieved but because of the joy they bring to others – they are enough

    I would build them back up , as best as i could, reminding them what a beautiful individual they are. Special – and unlike anyone else in the world. I would tell them that no one else should determine their worth , and that they are loved.
