From Dread to Delight: A Birthday Reflection on Self-Worth
For years, birthdays felt like a spotlight I didn’t want to stand under. I felt discomfort at the thought of someone wishing me a happy birthday, gifting me a present, or trying to make the day ‘about me.’
The idea of celebrating myself felt uncomfortable, and, upon reflection, even undeserved. My inner critic would say things like:
“I’m nothing special.”
“What is no one else celebrates me.”
“I don’t want the attention.”
NOT SURE WHERE TO BEGIN?Start with what feels familiar.
You don’t have to know exactly what you’re looking for. Sometimes understanding what’s happening beneath the surface is a good place to start.
