I'm Not Good Enough Where'd That Come From?
In this slightly longer Five-Minute Quickie, we're digging into one of the sneakiest, most stubborn beliefs so many of us carry around:
"I'm not good enough."
Where did it come from?
Why does it stick?
And how do we uncover what's really underneath it?
This FMQ is all about preparing you for the deeper dive coming in the next longer episode, where I'll be guiding you through a process to change this belief for good. But first, we need a seed — a direction — so when we get there, your unconscious mind is already lined up and ready to shift.
What We Explore Today
-
How "I'm not good enough" often starts with something very specific.
-
Why a general belief always has a more personal root underneath it.
-
The types of life experiences where this message gets planted.
-
How your unconscious mind tries (clumsily!) to protect you with limiting beliefs.
-
A gentle exercise to uncover the real identity belief below the surface.
Your Mini-Mission
Before we get to the long episode:
-
Notice the feeling of "I'm not good enough."
-
Keep the intensity no higher than a 5 out of 10.
-
Ask:
-
"I'm not good enough because I'm…?"
-
-
Let the deeper belief rise — something identity-level like "I'm stupid," "I'm invisible," "I'm useless."
-
Just notice it. No fixing today — just understanding.
This gentle curiosity will set you up beautifully for the transformation we'll create together next week.
Don't Miss the Next Episode
That's where we take this seed, this awareness, and change the belief at the unconscious level.
Not with willpower. Not with talking. But with a real process.
