Self worth

So much of our difficulties can be entangled with our sense of self worth — from whether we take care of ourselves with good habits to how we are in relationships to how much confidence we have at work.

External validation can only take you so far.

So … what can we do? We can seek to find our self-worth from within.

This can be a lifetime exploration, but some places you might look:

• Notice the good in your heart

• Have compassion for yourself when you’re feeling difficulty

• Be curious about yourself

• Try to notice your determination, perseverance, commitment

• See if you can find your sense of play, joy, and wonder

• Appreciate how you appreciate things

• Spend time with yourself, and care about how you feel

• Give love to yourself and others, and appreciate the love that flows from you

• Pour yourself into one act, giving all of yourself, and appreciate that as well

• Keep coming back to a project or habit change effort, even when you fall off

• Journal, reflect, contemplate, meditate, find time for quietude and stillness

• Go on a meditation retreat and explore your inner self

• Find ways to explore bringing out your joy, divinity, play, curiosity, and more

• Notice the abundance of love that you have

• Find wonder at who you are in every moment

Some of these might be challenging — that’s OK! Notice how you respond to challenge, and find wonder in that as well. Keep exploring, keep bringing curiosity, keep bringing wonder and love.

What would it be like if you had an abundant sense of self-worth always available to you?
