Self-Worth. Do I Matter? Do I Belong? Am I safe?
We all go through things differently. The important thing to remember is that we are all on the same journey. But how it affects each of us is totally different. Yes, we are all on the same journey of finding our health happiness. But how we each go through it affects each of us differently. The “end game” is what we all want most, but the most important game of all is how we play it along the way.
Our “Self-Worth” is important for us to heal our past, to be able live fully in the present, and to be able to dream and look forward to our future.
What defines my self-worth?
“Self-worth is simply defined as the level of importance you place on yourself. It is an emotional outlook that determines how and what you feel about yourself in comparison to other people. Self-worth is a fundamental part of our being, and it controls the way we see ourselves.”
So how do we increase our self-worth? Our Self-confidence? Our Self-being?
