I have always struggled with self-confidence and self-worth. Your article uses Reiki as an example, and I can relate to that. I always think I need the next level of certification for myself to feel worthy of this gift. But when I attain that next level, the bar keeps being moved further away to make it so I cannot ever 'reach the goal'. It is entirely a self-imposed limiting belief, but it's hard to move away from.
It even goes as far as writing here on Medium. It's not a skill I do professionally, nor do I feel confident about it. That inner critic voice always tells me that whatever I have to say, someone else has already said it more eloquently or will do so in the future. It's almost like I give up before even trying. I'm working on it and attempting to come out of my comfort zone.
Thank you for the article. 😊
