Do you belong?

What is coming up for you?

How often do you say or feel

“I do not belong to that group of people/organization/party.”

What do you do?

Do you try to fit in?

How does it make you feel?

Perhaps, inadequate?

How do you act when you feel inadequate?

Do you try even harder to pretend like you belong?

Listen to your convincing language of “I should”, “I must”, “I wish I were… then I would belong”

And…….. Pretending feels even more inadequate?

Are you supposed to try even harder to pretend that you belong, that you fit in?

I can totally relate to this scenario. I’ve been there so many times!

It only left me with many unpleasant feelings, totally disconnected with myself and feeling even more inadequate.

Why do we do that?

Perhaps, one reason is that we do not belong with our true and authentic selves.

We are longing to be and that starts with a practice of knowing and accepting who we are.

Brene Brown said it best:

“True belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world.

Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”

Hah……

Well said! Don’t you think?
