Newsletter: What do you deserve?

The word deserve comes up often in my practice. Most of the time the struggle is with NOT deserving. If you think about it carefully this feeling comes from socialization not our deepest selves.

The first way is through our parents. As children we were conditioned to act in a certain way. If we did something well or right we deserved to be rewarded. If we did something wrong or badly we deserved to be criticized or punished. What we deserved was based on how we acted or behaved in front of our parents.

The second way we learned to deserve things is through cultural socialization. Depending on what part of the world you come from their values and beliefs could determine what you received. If they believed that based on your family background you deserved only a certain kind of job, you might follow that path.

The third way we learned to deserve is through global thoughts and values. At one time it was not possible to marry outside our cultures and countries, THANK GOODNESS that's over. Yet it was rampant throughout the globe.

These three ways of training us affect how we feel about deserving. Until these values, beliefs, thoughts are put in us we so believe that we deserve it all. Look at any 4 year old and you know what I mean.

Take a few minutes to journal about deserving. Notice if your thoughts are really yours or ones passed down from others. Do they work for you right now with so much change on the planet? Or are they old and outdated?

Enjoy your day
