<!-- bryant-content-generator:start --> # Self-doubts, feeling unworthy, rejection, and past... > Self-doubts, feeling unworthy, rejection, and past injuries can churn in us with a low-boil of anxiety. Who would you be without your self-judgments and the baggage of your past mistakes in tow with you at all times? {{Learning your lesson from a mistake is healthy, but living forever in the emotions of your past mistakes is toxic and debilitating.}} The problem with traumatic, high-stress experiences is that they often create negative beliefs about oneself such as being powerless, unlovable, undeserving, unsafe and that things are unchangeable. {{Sometimes we resist letting go because we just can't see a way to move forward — believing things can never change for someone as unworthy as us.}} Be careful not to identify yourself with your past — you have a past, but it is not who you are today. **Source:** [[books/Simple Reminders Book (2014-2018)|Simple Reminders]] <!-- bryant-content-generator:end -->
