Additional text
"In
You Can Do All Things, Allan, creator of The Latest Kate,
includes what has been helpful for her in dealing with her feelings of
inadequacy, which might be helpful for you, too: ‘Choosing to be my authentic
self; not reshaping myself to fit someone else’s standard, whether that’s my
physical appearance or behavior. Only embracing relationships where I am
respected and accepted for who I am. Being honest with myself and my loved ones
about my insecurities and challenges; owning it. Showing the kindness and
understanding to myself that I would show a friend. Reframing; looking at past
events and choices with understanding and compassion and without judgement.’
You are worthy, and you deserve relationships that are built on respect and
kindness, relationships that also nourish you and add to your life. But I know
you might not see that or feel it right now. Know that this can and will
change. The key is to consider and explore what can help you to get there, to
see and feel your inherent worth. Working through Allan’s wise suggestions is a
great place to
start."―PsychCentra
