Bridging the Gap: How to See and Remember Your Own Greatness

"Look in the mirror, there you will see greatness looking back at you." — Yvette Noel-Schure

It's common for people to perceive themselves differently than how others see them. This is especially true for Changemakers, who are busy supporting others, often losing sight of themselves in the process. Additionally, Changemakers have a tendency to hold onto old stories and images that they share often, creating time capsule images that hinder their ability to see themselves fully. Lastly, they are known to move too fast, which acts as a barrier, preventing their ability to see their own growth and healing clearly.

As a Changemaker, it's important to remember that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others. By bridging the gap between how you see yourself and how others see you, you can gain a better understanding of your own growth and healing. This self-awareness can help you become more effective in your work and better equipped to support those around you. So take some time to reflect, challenge old beliefs, practice self-compassion, and celebrate your accomplishments. You deserve to see and remember your own greatness.

4 Steps to Help You Appreciate Your Own Greatness

Step 1: Self-Reflection. Give yourself the time and space to reflect on your experiences and how they have shaped who you are today. This could be through journaling, meditation, or simply taking a walk in nature.

Step 2: Challenge old stories and beliefs. Recognize the power your thoughts and beliefs have on your actions and self-perception. Challenge old stories that hold you back and create a new narrative that aligns with your values and goals.

Step 3: Practice self-compassion. Be kind to yourself and treat yourself with understanding. This will help you build resilience and a stronger sense of self-worth.

Step 4: Celebrate your accomplishments. No matter how small they may seem, recognize and acknowledge the progress you have made toward your goals. This will motivate you to continue moving forward and remind you of your own strength and resilience.

By following these steps, you will begin to see yourself more clearly and appreciate your own greatness. Remember, you are capable of achieving amazing things and making a positive impact in the world.

Remember, self-awareness is key to personal growth and success. By following the four steps outlined above, you can bridge the gap between how you see yourself and how others see you. This will help you appreciate your own greatness and become a more effective Changemaker in the world.
