The Score Keeper
On our birthday, we have this expectation of how our day should be celebrated. In our minds we start keeping score, looking for that external validation of how people honor our special day. I know I have been the score keeper not only on my birthday but throughout the year looking for that constant validation for years. It is because I grew up with the constant message “I am not good enough.” I have worked hard over the last few years to rewire that old belief. It no longer serves me. This year I have noticed a shift in no longer needing or seeking that constant validation. I realise the only validation I need is my own. I celebrate that everyday. 🥳
