Say it with me: “It’s safe for me to be happy. I deserve to enjoy this. Being happy and allowing myself to feel love and joy is safe.”
Ever felt a wave of sadness during a joyful moment?
Maybe it was getting into your dream school, getting engaged, a holiday with a loved one, or even a night out with friends.
For me, this anxiety always seemed to creep in, like happiness was something I couldn’t fully trust.
Growing up, I felt so connected to my dad. He was my world. But when I found out he was unfaithful to my mom, it shattered me. I learned to protect my heart, believing that letting joy in would only lead to heartbreak. For years, I stayed guarded, avoiding deep love and happiness.
My now husband came into my life 3 years ago - and absolutely shook me to my core.
He was the perfect mirror and validation that this work I was doing was powerful and necessary.
It was very triggering for me to trust and let go and allow myself to be happy and in love.
I felt naked. I felt vulnerable. I was terrified.
But I knew it was necessary. I knew I deserved love. I deserved happiness.
And so I leaned into it, and through inner work and a lot of discomfort every day I am more comfortable and safe being happy.
You deserve to feel happy and attract good experiences into your life.
