What to Tell Yourself When You Don’t Think You’re Good Enough

Lots have been said about no one being perfect and failures being normal, even definitive, to a person. That is because they’re all true. It’s like what the song says: Even the best fall down sometimes. (image source)

During these times, it can get pretty easy to blame yourself and think that maybe you’re not good enough. When those moments come, remind yourself with these and hopefully, you’ll feel much better after: 

1. Give yourself a break. Nobody can do better than you because there’s no other YOU.

2. That sinking feeling, just like others you had before, will pass.

3. Your mind can be your worst critic; don’t always believe it.

4. YOUR approval is the only approval you need.

5. It’s okay not to be okay. It’s perfectly normal and a must in order to feel better than ever.

6. You were good enough to try and that’s all that really matters.

7. You’ve overcome so much. Reminisce those moments.

8. There is always a way to get unstuck; don’t lose hope yet.

9. Failure is indeed a lesson. Start seeing it as one.

10. This obstacle will only make you stronger.

11. You shouldn’t hurry.

12. Progress always trumps perfection.
