If you feel ignored in this world, notice who is doing the ignoring

If you feel people don’t notice you. If you feel you have so much to offer and yet it goes unnoticed. Then just notice, who is doing the ignoring, the invalidating...it may just be you!

Listen to this article

Do you really honour, love, nurture, nourish yourself?

Do do you really own yourself?

Do you praise yourself daily?

Do you celebrate all do you have to offer and that you have to give and that you are?

Because until we do that for ourselves; until we reclaim ourselves, then nobody else will unfortunately.



Again it comes back to this fact of the matter - it’s an inside job.

How high do you hold yourself in your own self esteem?

We may have a severe inner critic who browbeats us daily.

We may have learned this way of relating to ourselves harshly, from absorbing unconsciously the world around us as children, as we grew up.

Notice who’s voice the inner critic emulates – a stern father, a cold mother, a tough teacher…these external voices can become our own internal voice.

We may have had to crush our own voice, dampen down our truth, in order to fit in, in order to be the good girl or good boy.

It may have been dangerous to speak up and be heard, seen, validated. The safest option may have been to keep invisible, stay small and silent, deny our presence and identity.

These strategies that once served us can become endemic and deeply entrenched in us however, even though they have long outlived their use.

Notice therefore how this habituated strategy of survival can become the very prison that keeps us tethered and torn. How meanwhile we may well have gathered and garnered many skills, abilities, confidence, capacities, capabilities, talents, wisdom, knowledge, and still we might play it small, out of habit.

So if you find yourself perplexed, that in spite of your arsenal of attributes, you still feel ignored and invalidated by the world at large, notice who does the ignoring and invalidating. Is it you?! This may come as a harsh truth and one to adjust to and yet, may just be a truth to set us free. 

And the more we can do this for ourselves the more that energy radiates out and then the world will start to notice us.

So. I wish you well with that - reclaim yourself and see how your world changes.
