The subconscious downgrade

Man, this is a whopper of a thing

Today, free write a bit about ways in which you might be subtly/subconsciously “downgrading” situations in your life because you aren’t sure you’re worthy of the full experience.

I’m thinking of this because once, a friend of a friend was planning a dream trip and went on at length about her ideal experience in this city. Yet, she began to “downgrade” aspects of it, not in the affordability way, but by cutting corners and minimizing experiences because of what she thought she should want to do versus what she really wanted to do on the trip. Recently, she posted something online about that trip, and said she wanted a “do over” because she only later realized she didn’t let herself have the full experience of what she most wanted.

So, today, take a moment to free write and reflect on where you may not be allowing yourself to have the full experience of what you most want.
