Hello hivers, and compliments of the season. Please accept my excitement sharing with you building self-worth as we cruise into Christmas 2023 on our way heading to the glorious year 2024 with gifts and packages, lofty expectations, plans, and goals setting everywhere.
As tall as this tree in the thick forest, it did not seek approval of any other three neither did it think highly of itself above others.
Self-worth is the intrinsic sense of adequately being nice and merited, loved, and belonging to others.
It is not meant to be verified by any other person, it is about you and what you are and what you stand for.
Self-worth is not about depending on any one for your values. It is determined by you, not waiting for anybody to tell you who you are and what you stand for.
Self-worth emanates from the internal of the person and not external, an intrinsic thing and not extrinsic. Again, self-worth is about building self-confidence in what you can do , and you proceed to do it confidently. Self -worth is no other people's validation nor approval of you. It s a self a validation, one unique thing about self-worth is your internal is empty you know, and you do not pretend about it, pretending about it is leads to self-deceit and you bear the repercussion of self-deceit. Self-worth is about taking responsibility for both success and failure any time it occurs and is caused by you. It is not about passing bulk during failure.
American psychological association defined self-worth as "individual evaluation of being capable and desiring respect and consideration".
Having said all in the above, how do I build Self-worth?
Building self -worth entails a lot but not limited to the below.
- Evaluate yourself to know what gives you joy, what you value and the worth of your personal values.
-In your self-evaluation, be sincere and be truthful to yourself to query your unkind thought of yourself with the view of improvement.
-Continuously saying no to negativity and differing on negative thought and propositions, if possible, always define your position on certain things positively and make your position known not for public of people's approval. - Comparing yourself with others is a sign of others approval or validation which is out of building self-worth.
-Know that you are the only one that can make yourself happy, hence continuously or always be nice to yourself and be practical about it always.
Components of Self-worth.
The first component of self-worth is your vision and ambition of who and what you want to be in life. This defines you and makes you unique irrespective of others’ view about you. This first component depicts your ideal self.
The second component of self-worth is always your perception and your view about yourself. this second component depicts your real self.
The third component of self-worth is your worth and the value you believe you have and not being rated by people makes your self-esteem.
Hivers, I am convinced that if some of the vital elements of this piece are picked and applied if not being applied already a lot will stand tall above like the tallest tree in forest waiting for no one to validate no approve its height. Thanks, Hivers, for reading my piece.
Shalom
