Unconditionally Accepted & Held [Original Album Track 12]

Image by magicalstock.art

This isn’t just a feel-good meditation — it’s actual identity work. Foundation work. The kind that actually changes how you show up in business and in life. Everyone deserves to feel this way at some point in their lives, no matter their background. I hope when you listen to this one, you truly feel it.

You cannot build sustainable success on a foundation that doesn’t believe it deserves to exist

Whether you run a business or not, are a parent or not, are a partner or not… you can’t succeed at what you’re doing, if you don’t believe you deserve that success.

Self Worth vs Self Esteem

A lot of the time, people try to fix self esteem first, but without self worth they don’t get very far.

Self worth= the stable, unconditional knowing that you have value, simply because you do. Simply because you exist. You have inherent value just because you’re a human being. You have this the moment you’re born, until the moment you die, and nobody can change this fact. However, many people struggle to accept this as truth.

Self esteem= fluctuating, external, measured by output, based on what you’ve done with your time or in your life. Evaluating your abilities, your successes, and your characteristics, against whatever measuring stick you use.

Often, because the rest of the world measures us by our output, we learn to measure ourselves by it as well, and to only value ourselves by what we do. But if you are always trying to do to be worthy, you have to fail sometimes.

Instead, learning to just be and accept that you are worthy because you are, looking at output like something you get to do because you’re worthy, rather than have to do in order to become worthy… ahhhh that’s a powerful shift.

Self worth is a powerful foundation to build self esteem upon.

This meditation came about originally because of a training I did in my Facebook group, years ago, about self-esteem vs. self worth, for women in business.

Key point then:

There is no chance that you are the one-and-only, in billions of human beings on this planet, who does not deserve love. Every human deserves love. And yet we all have had at least moments, if not years of struggling with feeling unlovable, not being able to accept love, or not feeling like we are worthy of love.

If every human being is worthy of love, this means something about them is love-able. And if you are love-able, there will be people who love you, whether you have found them or not. If you show up as you, your people are going to come. And they are going to see you, inside and out, and they’re going to love you exactly as you are. And when they love you, your business grows.

One of my core values is that everyone is worthy of love.

I just do love everybody. I automatically love you when I meet you. I have always loved everyone instantly.

Yet, I have not lived an easy life. For a long time, I didn’t feel like I should be heard. I didn’t feel like I should say the things that I wanted to say and that I believed. I didn’t feel like they were acceptable, or wanted.

(Trigger warning for violence)

One of many examples of why I felt this way: I had my jaw dislocated when I was hit across the face for speaking up as a child, and so for many years, I shut up. I didn’t believe in my own self worth.

Even if you had the most loving, gentle, wonderful parents, you can still have them passing down messages that are generationally embedded, unintentionally.

Especially as women, so often our light is doused. We are told to be ‘modest’, ‘grateful’, ‘quiet’, ‘soft’, ‘gentle’, ‘nice’… We are trained to believe we are not supposed to shine so brightly.

The more I realized how much my voice was shut down the more loud, open and broadcasting I got, because it was so wrong, and I was never meant to be quiet.

Neither are you.

Now, when I see a woman shining her light brightly I can practically hear the angels singing. I just love it.

You, my love, are worthy. Of speaking, of shining, of whatever the hell lights your soul up.

How This Shows Up in Business

This meditation, and even the original training I did, apply to every human being on the planet. However, it was originally intended for my business girlies, so if that’s you, here are some things you can watch out for, as signs that your belief in your inherent self worth might be lacking:

• Undercharging

• Overdelivering

• Burnout cycles

• People pleasing clients

• Fear of visibility

• Not pitching yourself

• Avoiding leadership

If you’re noticing these things, check whether your worth feels conditional to you.

If you’ve struggled with this, here are some reflection prompts you can use

• Where do I shrink?

• Where do I deflect love?

• What part of me have I been told is too much?

• Where do I need to allow myself to be fully seen?

• If my worth was unquestionable, what would change?

When you truly allow yourself to be unconditionally accepted and held, your success stops being something you chase — and becomes something that grows toward you.

---

Use this meditation to anchor in to your inherent, unconditional self worth, and the knowing that you are truly loved and held; by me, by the universe, by the divine in whatever way you believe it exists.

Love you.
