Lesson 91: Check In WEEK 13 - Being Enough

This week has been interesting in really recognising that we are enough and that we have enough. This is not a concept I had practised previously. I am grateful for the mantra “I am enough. I have enough. There is enough”. I may not have enforced it into my life before but I am now. Just being able to say that to myself in the mirror and believe it, is powerful in itself. There are many ways to be grateful in your life and recognise abundance. That mantra also makes you think about all your material possessions and what you don’t need because you will start to see that you truly have enough. This is such a major shift in thinking and we all can learn from simply repeating those words, applying it to yourself and actually believing it. When it sinks in, it feels great!

Lesson 90: Reflections on Being Enough

“- I am enough because______
- Why I know that I am enough is______
- How I know that I have enough is______
- Why I know there is always enough to go around is______”
— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

Today's lesson is all about finishing the sentences listed. Meditate if you have to or find the answers within.

Upon my own reflection:

  • I am enough because I have much to offer myself and others.
  • Why I know that I am enough is because I see the seeds I plant growing each day.
  • How I know that I have enough is because my life is abundant in many different ways.
  • Why I know there is always enough to go around is by setting the example.

Lesson 89: AUDIO Meditation - Enough

Today is all about focusing on the following phrases through meditation.

  • I am enough
  • I have enough
  • There is enough

You can place some instrumental music on, take deep breaths and repeat each phrase, noticing what rises within your body, noticing how your breathing is, what thoughts pass through? Keep repeating “I am enough” for as long as you want and move onto the next phrase “I have enough” and finally “There is enough” when you are ready. You might find that you have to focus on “I am enough” and that’s fine. The point of today’s exercise is to repeat it for as long as you need in the upcoming days until they hold your true meaning to those words.

For me, “I am enough” is really about me accepting me as I am and knowing that despite my flaws, I am perfect in my own way. “I have enough” really sinks in for me the fact that I am aware of my environmental impact, and that material possessions are not a way of life for me anymore. I haven’t bought anything that isn’t essential in my every day life. I know that I don’t need to fill my life with “stuff” and I am grateful for a lot of things – like food, shelter etc. “There is enough” really enforces a need for me to want to help others see the impacts we have on the world. We lead such consumerist lifestyles and ignorant to the fact it has harmful impacts to the planet. This for me is much larger than myself, and it’s about standing with my cause and helping others see. Definitely a big job that will span over years.

How do these phrases impact you?

Lesson 88: Breathe Into the Squirmy Stuff

Today’s practise is all about thinking and saying out loud “I Am Enough”. I actually starting doing this at the beginning at the week and tell myself when I look at myself in the mirror. It makes a difference by beginning this at the start of the day.

You may not start to believe it when you first start saying it and you will be challenged by negative thoughts. For me, it’s really tackling those negative thoughts about yourself and really truly understanding them. It does take awareness to recognise what holds you back into truly believing that you are enough. It’s not an easy overnight you’ll be cured type of situation. I believe when you can really break down what’s holding you back, apply compassion, then you will have a foundation of where you can rise up from. “I Am Enough” will start to sink in and begin to elevate you.
