Today’s Mandala Message: I am worthy

This week I’m working through Principle #33 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Transcend Your Limiting Beliefs”. I set my intention today to ponder the mantra “I am worthy”. Canfield states: “Believing you are worthy of love means that you believe ‘I deserve to be treated well—with respect and dignity. I deserve to be cherished and adored by someone. I am worthy of an intimate and fulfilling relationship. I won’t settle for less than I deserve. I will do whatever it takes to create that for myself.’ ” And this “relationship” can begin with the relationship we have with ourselves.

Now granted his focus here is “worthy of love” however for this posting, I feel it needs to be more general in that “we are all worthy”. We are worthy of loving ourselves. We are all worthy of being here, being alive. We are all worthy of achieving our dreams.

I know for me I have issues with worthiness; the roots of which are many—which I’ve been working on for the last few decades. In Adia Gooden, PhD article “How to Cultivate Unconditional Self Worth” she offers four ways to begin feeling more worthy starting right now (her article/video go into more detail about each):

  1. forgive yourself
  2. practice self-acceptance
  3. be there for yourself
  4. connect to supportive people
Adia Gooden “Cultivating Unconditional Self-Worth”

A good mindfulness practice would be to sit with the idea of being worthy.

So how about you? Do you have issues with self-worth? What areas of your life are affected by it most? What have you done to overcome it?

“Unconditional self-worth
is the sense that
you deserve to be alive,
to be loved and cared for,
to take up space.”

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
