It’s Not You, It’s My Self-Worth.

<p>Join Naomi for an audio replay of her livestream on the topic of empaths and self-worth.</p> <p>Many of us empaths have commitment issues. In our relationships, career, and with time and money. It can be hard for us to commit to something just for ourselves (especially because we ALWAYS think of others first).</p> <p>Somewhere along the journey, we started to believe that we were not worthy of investing in and pouring life back into ourselves.</p> <p>The following mindset blocks that pop up in our head are:</p> <ul><li>I have no time to commit to myself when I’m taking care of everybody else</li> <li>I can’t afford to spend time or money on myself because I need to make sure everybody else is covered first</li> <li>I don’t believe I can actually get what I want (because I always get what’s left over after everybody else is served first/I just have bad luck)</li> <li>I already feel overwhelmed</li> <li>I need to check in with partner/husband/wife/parent/etc. before I can make decisions about committing to anyone else</li> <li>There are many factors that come into play that create our commitment issues (ex.
