Self worth begins with thinking you are worthy

29/12/2023

​Self-worth  starts with you

Its the value and respect we have for ourselves. It is about the way we see ourselves, our abilities and our sense of confidence.


​Have you ever felt rejected, maybe you have smiled at someone attractive in the street and didn't get a smile in return?

You walk away feeling gutted because in your mind this means you are not attractive or worthy and say to yourself why would they smile anyway it isn't like I'm intelligent or anything. The list in your mind goes on.

Perception and projection are closely related to each other. Perception refers to the way we interpret and make sense of information, what we see or hear. It's influenced by our previous experiences, beliefs, expectations, and emotions. Projection is the process of attributing our own stuff to another person.
We can consider our own intentions when saying or doing something but unfortunately not so much in the way it is heard and received by the other person.

We constantly try to mind-read and second-guess ourselves. Not all of what we believe and what our mind tells us is true you know.

Ask yourself these questions:

Where's the proof 

Do we have evidence for our beliefs are you working hard to find ways to make things fit together even when they don't.

Am I comparing myself to others?

This is an unfair process, particularly with social media and the 'edited' versions of life on our screens. List your own strengths and use these to support you in creating the versions of life you are moving towards. Invest this time in you and your achievements 

Do I embrace all of me?

​ We all have aspects of ourselves that we may not be proud of or wish to change, but denying these parts of ourselves only prevents us from being our true selves. 
By accepting all parts of ourselves, we understand ourselves more, and who we are and can move towards a more fulfilling life. We start recognizing our strengths and weaknesses, acknowledging our past mistakes, and being honest with ourselves about our wishes and needs.

So, take the time to reflect on all aspects of yourself, both positive and negative. Embrace them, learn from them, and use them to move forward on your journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.

I have supported people to feel worthy, I  want to help you start to love and respect yourself again.
