See Yourself First
For a long time, I thought I needed to prove something to be worthy of being seen.
I compared myself to the women who seemed to be effortlessly seen, adored, and tended to as if the Universe was bending over backwards to cater to their every need, while I was left in the shadow. I believed this lie that I wasn’t good enough to have the life I deeply wanted.
But here’s what I’ve learned.
No one can fully see you until you see yourself. You will continue to feel invisible until you’re willing to meet yourself honestly, claim what you desire, and stop asking the world to validate you first. The truth is, people mirror the energy we carry about ourselves. The way we see ourselves silently teaches others how to see us. When we doubt ourselves, we attract doubt. When we own our worth, we invite recognition.
Seeing yourself first is an act of power. It is not about vanity or ego. It’s about self-recognition, honoring your unique voice, trusting your desires, and showing up without apology. When you start to see yourself with love and curiosity, the world can’t help but notice you. It’s not because you are louder. It’s because you are aligned.
This is how I began to see myself and what has supported me on this journey.
Sit with yourself without judgment. Journal your real thoughts. Let them be messy, raw, and honest.
Name your desires out loud. Speak what you want. Make your desires sacred. Dance with the possibility of them being a reality for you. The clearer you get, the stronger your magnetic field becomes.
Choose to validate yourself first. Before waiting for compliments, followers, or approval, stand in your own knowing of your worthiness now.
Recommit to yourself daily. This is not a one-time decision. It is a daily practice of returning home to you!
