🪷 Believing You Deserve Better: Letting Yourself Be Nourished
Believing you deserve better isn’t selfish.
It’s honest.
You’ve settled before—
for less than what your heart whispered for.
For almost-enough.
For what seemed safe, but never full.
Maybe you accepted it because it felt familiar.
Maybe because it was all you knew.
Still, you’re allowed to want more—
not from greed,
but from truth.
Better isn’t asking for too much.
It’s remembering you were never meant to beg for scraps.
You were meant to be nourished.
And your worth never depended on how little you could survive with.
Why Believing You Deserve Better Still Matters
It’s easy to shrink your needs
so they fit someone else’s comfort.
However, healing asks you to expand into your full deserving.
Sometimes, that means saying no
to what used to feel like “enough.”
So pause and ask:
Where have I been accepting too little
just to feel safe or approved?
What would better actually feel like for me?
Even just imagining it—
is a return to self-worth.
Besides, your body often knows the answer
long before your mind is ready to receive it.
