Self-parenting means giving yourself the care and attention you may have missed as a child.

So, when you repeat, “I am worthy,” but your subconscious mind believes something different, you will not change how you feel about yourself deep down.

Treating yourself with compassion will help increase your level of worthiness. And this will ensure those mantras have their intended positive effects.

How do you speak to yourself when you are going through something difficult? How about when you fall short of reaching a goal?

Now, consider how you speak to a friend in the same situation. You’re probably much harder on yourself than anyone else.

You might begin by making a list of your likes and dislikes. Use the five senses to guide you. What do you like to see, hear, smell, touch, and taste?

Give yourself permission to take care of your needs before exhaustion sets in.
