The Nagging belief of Unworthiness
Dear Me,
As I gaze at our reflection in the mirror today, I'm struck
by the enduring desire we've always held—to be uniquely and unapologetically
ourselves. We've consistently chosen the path less traveled, forging our own
way even when it meant going against the grain. There's a certain exhilaration
in being courageous enough to stand out, to articulate the unsaid with both
grace and love.
But there's a part of us that still lingers in the shadows,
hesitant to emerge fully. I find myself wondering about the roots of that fear,
and as I reflect, I see threads of it woven into the tapestry of our past.
Growing up in a home marked by domestic violence, we learned the art of
invisibility—stay silent, don't draw attention. Being a Native American brought
its own set of lessons, teaching us to shy away from the spotlight for fear of
danger, even death.
This pattern, deeply ingrained, associates being seen with
the old fears of abuse and harm. But today, let's acknowledge that those
circumstances are no longer our reality. It's time to reclaim our birthright—to
fully shine. My name, Atoya, meaning Indian princess, and my Native name,
Bright Star, affirm that I was not meant to hide; I was meant to shine. I am
safe, secure, and endowed with extraordinary gifts meant to be shared with the
world.
Beneath this pattern lies the lingering belief of
unworthiness, rearing its head whenever we approach the threshold of our
capabilities. Today, we rewrite this narrative. We recognize that unworthiness
is entwined with the same negative energetic pattern, and as we dismantle one,
we address the other.
Today, let's stand tall, embracing the truth that being seen
is not a threat but a celebration of our unique brilliance. It's time to
liberate ourselves from the shackles of the past, embracing the fullness of who
we are—worthy, radiant, and ready to share our gifts with the world.
With love and unwavering support,
You
