What if my best still isn’t good enough?

I was singing with my 16 year old daughter yesterday while she played the piano and she said “I know you aren’t trying”. I said back immediately without even thinking “because what if my best still isn’t good enough?”. Not only did she look at me shocked, but I was shocked that had just come out of my mouth!

So out loud I worked through some of it, where it stemmed from, etc.
Afterwards, I belted songs the rest of the day and then just sat down to work through anywhere else I was holding onto it and holy crap it went deeper than I planned! 

I had worked through how this belief affected me years ago when I was releasing 100 lbs and then again when it came up when I started my business, as well as other places like being a wife, woman and mom.. But the root of it, the cause, I went to today. I knew before when it showed up in my weight, my health, motherhood, relationships and business, exactly where I was taught it, believed it and then experienced it many times. 

I didn't realize how it was still strongly affecting me and how much I was still holding myself back until I blurted it out yesterday!   

The thing is, yes I have healed a ton and I could ignore it because where I'm at mentally, emotionally and physically is better than ever. 
Yes, I am grateful for the things I have overcome that most sadly won't even attempt to do in their lifetime.
I am more confident than ever before
I know consciously I am enough and what I do is good enough

BUT if any part of me still feels fear and doubt in not being enough, I will not settle and let it stay there.
Working through this just breaks open another level of power and security within
so why not?
Why not see where I am holding myself back and let it go?
Why not evolve and be even more sure in myself and my enoughness?

That is why I continue to do my work, especially if I blurt out random limiting things :)
