You're Not Good Enough

Have You Been Told You’re Not Good Enough?

Understanding the Impact and How to Transform It

Hearing the words “You’re not good enough” can leave deep emotional scars, affecting self-esteem and overall well-being. Such statements, whether from others or internalized self-criticism, can lead to feelings of inadequacy and hinder personal growth. However, it’s possible to challenge and change this narrative.

The Impact of Being Told “You’re Not Good Enough”

Being told you’re not good enough can have profound psychological effects:

  • Shame and Low Self-Esteem: Internalizing negative messages can lead to a pervasive sense of shame and diminished self-worth.

    Psychology Today

  • Anxiety and Depression: Persistent feelings of inadequacy are linked to increased anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts.

    Psych Central

  • Impaired Personal Growth: Believing you are not good enough can stifle motivation and hinder progress toward personal and professional goals.

Transforming the Narrative: Steps to Overcome Feelings of Inadequacy

  1. Recognize the Source: Identify where these feelings originate. Understanding their root can be the first step toward healing.

  2. Challenge Negative Beliefs: Question the validity of negative thoughts. Are they based on facts or unfounded perceptions?

  3. Practice Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with kindness. Acknowledge your efforts and understand that everyone has flaws and makes mistakes.

  4. Seek Support: Engage with supportive friends, family, or professionals who can provide perspective and encouragement.

  5. Set Realistic Goals: Break down larger goals into manageable steps to build confidence and demonstrate progress.

  6. Celebrate Achievements: Acknowledge and celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem.

Remember, the belief that you’re not good enough is a narrative that can be rewritten. By taking proactive steps and seeking support, you can cultivate a healthier self-image and embrace your inherent worth.

If you’re struggling with these feelings, consider reaching out to mental health professionals or support organizations like Beyond Blue for assistance.

Always know you are good enough to achieve anything you desire.

Shelley Langan is an incredible coach.

My journey has taken a quantum leap since I have been under her guidance. Shelley is very knowledgeable in her field; she has helped me to identify what it is I truly want. Her intuition is always spot on, she knows when I am off track.

If you're looking for a coach to help you identify your life purpose, she is your gal.

I have just completed The Intentional Confidence course with Shelley. It has been a fantastic 7 weeks of learning about myself, creating a positive mindset and understanding human behaviour. I have gained so much confidence that I can now incorporate into my business and personal life. I now look forward to enjoying the rest of my life happy, positive and fulfilled.

Completing the 7 week Mindset Course helped guide me to the happy place that I’m at today. I found peace by finding peace within myself. The biggest thing I have learnt that is in order to love life entirely, you must love who you are. When you love yourself you will never be lonely even when you are alone. I learned how to change my way of thinking to positive thoughts. I learned how important acts of kindness are and how important it is to make time for yourself. Everything fell into place so easily from there.

Thank you so much Shelley. It has truly been a godsend for me and helped me when my life fell apart once again. You are awesome !!

From the bottom of my heart “Thank You.” Your timing could not have been more perfect, with so much turmoil you helped me clear away the mud to see more clearly and to make sense of what was going on in my life. I have absolutely loved these last 7 weeks and I really don’t want them to end here.

I will continue with all you have taught me and look forward to continuing to go back over the workbooks to stay focused on achieving my goals and working toward a positive prosperous future.

Shelley's program has been really enjoyable to do even if at times it has been a little confronting, but definitely in a good way. The program has helped me to set intentions in my life on a daily basis. To allow abundance to flow more freely into my life and to identify where I have been getting in the way of that. Helpful, easy to use, and implement strategies that will last a lifetime.

Thank you Shelley I got a lot out of your program and it will be good to refer to it again and again.

I can't tell you enough how grateful I am to have started the Thinking Into Results program.

Thank you for being the shining light in my life, giving me hope, and showing me that anything is possible with the right mindset and positivity.

I realised I was thinking too small with my business.

With your guidance and coaching, I am now designing my life and business as I want them to be.

Shelley has an incredible way of explaining things and listening to people. She has ways of giving practical and achievable strategies you can do to implement change in your life...

She taught me how she sets her goals, and how she achieves them, and those are the strategies I'm doing this year. No stress, and still enjoying what I have right now while I achieve my life goals one step at a time!
