Not To Devalue Our Self-Worth

 

Never devalue your SELF-WORTH.  Even without any bragging rights, have you ever felt like you're NOT good enough, NO matter HOW hard you try?  YES, you're NOT alone.  There are many of us in that very same boat.  Many people struggle with their SELF-WORTHINESS, that supposed unshakeable belief that you are capable, valuable and more than anything, deserving respect📗📙📘

Experts define SELF-WORTH as your own evaluation of yourself as a capable and valuable human deserving consideration and respect.  They call it, in layman's terms, an internal sense of being worthy of love.  Often, we would hear the most popular words like 'LOVE' and 'RESPECT' about our relationships with others such as our family members, friends, colleagues and even neighbors.  However, 'SELF-WORTH' gauges HOW much we respect, love and value ourselves📌📌📌

For a zillion reasons, SELF-WORTH is important enough.  Experts tell us that people with positive SELF-WORTH tend to have greater self-confidence and even self-esteem.  On the other hand, swinging to someone with low self-worth, it's nothing short of judging oneself harshly and having a low opinion of oneself.  Worse, researches showed that there is a tendency to focus on one's mistakes and shortcomings rather than one's abilities and strengths❎❎❎

Taking a lift from the pages of the experts' researches, they listed these common factors to influence SELF-WORTH:

• THOUGHTS and FEELINGS
• CAREER and PROFESSION
• CORE BELIEFS and VALUES
• HEALTH and PHYSICAL FITNESS
• EMOTIONS and MENTAL WELL-BEING
• OUR RELATIONSHIPS, both past and present
• OUR EXPERIENCES & INTERACTIONS with others

Our takeaway:  In the past, I struggled gauging my SELF-WORTH.  BUT I realized I should overcome that difficulty because gauging myself did help me with no-holds-barred questions I had to answer LIKE:

• HOW MUCH do I value myself?
• HOW WOULD I describe myself to a stranger?
• WHEN I self-reflect, am I more positive OR 'NEGA'?
• DO I believe I'm worthy of others' respect, love or consideration?

Yes dude, let us NOT DEVALUE our SELF-WORTH😔😔😔
