societal influence on self-worth, relationships, intimacy and sexuality
are self-image(HADs), culture(VABs), religion, family and friends.
Self Understanding and Self Worth is our ability to appraise
one's own feelings, motives, needs, abilities and limitations;
understanding of the value and importance of one's self;
ability to set realistic goals and strategies and
achieve a balance in life, love and leisure;
commitment to the pursuit of excellence,
satisfaction of achievement
and self-discipline.
"If you are patient in one moment of anger,
you will escape a hundred days of sorrow."
Our self worth issues are sometimes linked to
the kind of relationships we have with ourself!
How we value ourselves is intimately linked
to self-acceptance and self-love.
We can start steps in regaining self worth through
affirmations, reframing and confirmations that we learn.
Sometimes acceptance of ourselves takes on a deeper meaning
where we also need to know and discover all the
different parts and sides of our personality and
accept their function and contributions,
even if we initially think it to be negative.
We need to connect with our internal truth to be able to love ourselves.
Self-love is not a rational activity alone but an experience of acceptance.
self-worth is about your ability to love and care.
