Three learnings that have been life-shifting for me:

1. Anxiety is one of the most contagious emotions - that’s why it always takes down groups of people, not just individuals.

2. Calm is also contagious, but it’s a daily intention and practice.

3. We all have patterned ways of dealing with anxiety that are often set up in our first families. Understanding how and why can set us free.

This is a picture of me with my little brother and sisters. I was the protector and czar (aka overfunctioning boot camp).

The greatest challenge for most of us is believing that we are worthy now; right this minute. Worthiness doesn’t have prerequisites. So many of us have knowingly created, unknowingly allowed, or been handed down a long list of worthiness prerequisites:

I'll be worthy when I lose 20 pounds.
I'll be worthy if I can get pregnant.
I’ll be worthy if I get/stay sober.
I'll be worthy if everyone thinks I'm a good parent.
I'll be worthy when I can make a living selling my art.
I'll be worthy if I can hold my marriage together.
I'll be worthy when I make partner.
I'll be worthy when I make more money.
I’ll be worthy when my parents finally approve.
I’ll be worthy if she calls back and asks me out.
I'll be worthy when I can do it all and look like I'm not even trying.

Here's what is truly at the heart of Wholeheartedness:
Worthy now.
Not if.
Not when.
We are worthy of love and belonging now.
Right this minute.
As is.

And, if you're thinking: "But I want to be better or grow or strive for something new." That's ok.
Just remember we have to love the thing we want to change.
Self-loathing and shame are not motivators. Self-love and self-respect are.
