When You Feel Like You're Not Enough — A Guided Meditation for Self-Criticism

Sometimes the sense of not being enough feels almost physical — a tightening, a pressure, a quiet but persistent voice telling you that you should be doing better. It can seem so convincing, like it's telling the truth about who you are. But what's often happening isn't actually about your worth at all; it's about protection. Your nervous system is simply trying to organize safety in a world where belonging has felt uncertain. Underneath the harsh self-criticism is usually an attempt to help. In this practice, we aren't going to fight the feeling of not being enough or try to convince you otherwise. We are just going to create a little space around it, allowing your body to rest in the awareness that nothing about you needs to be evaluated right now.
