Feeling Unworthy of Love and Abundance?

Early in my dating life, I had a hard time accepting money from my partners. I felt queasy when they bought me dinner or drinks. Often to relieve myself of that stress, I'd pick up the tab before they even had the chance. I didn't feel worthy of their, or anyone's, resources.

Of course, this feeling of unworthiness in love that I carried so deep within me manifested into break up after break up. It didn't matter if they thought I was worthy, because I didn't believe I was. And that spilled not only into dinner and drinks, but into feelings of unworthiness of being in the relationship itself! It took me a while to realize the root of this pattern. But once I did, everything changed.
