Many women were taughtâdirectly or indirectlyâthat love, safety, and belonging are earned through effort.
Through explaining.
Through fixing.
Through carrying more than their share.
Over time, proving becomes a habit.
You prove youâre capable.
You prove you're understanding.
You prove youâre not âtoo much.â
But peace never comes from proving.
Peace comes from deciding that your worth is not up for debate.
Choosing peace doesnât mean you stop caring.
It means you stop negotiating your well-being.
Todayâs gift is the permission to step out of roles that were never yours to carry.
Action:
Take a quiet moment and reflect on this question:
Where in my life am I still trying to prove myself?
Then choose one small shift today:
⢠Say less instead of more
⢠Do nothing instead of fixing
⢠Let something be misunderstood without correcting it
Notice what opens up when you stop managing how youâre perceived.đ
