Ways to enhance your Self Worth
Don’t set prerequisites for being worthy—for example, “I’ll be good enough once I’ve paid off all my debts” or “I’ll be good enough once I’ve got a college degree.” You don’t need to meet these arbitrary requirements to be worthy because you’re enough as you are, today.
Accept Yourself Unconditionally
You’re worthy as you are, no matter how well you “fit in” or what anyone else thinks.
Abandon the idea that to be “enough,” you need to fit societal standards or other people’s expectations.
Your worthiness isn’t rooted in your actions—for example, succeeding at work or making lots of friends. Who you are, not what you do, is at the center of your worth.
Reject the notion that you need to earn self-worth by proving yourself or pleasing others.
During her research, Brown found that it’s impossible to fully experience love or belonging until you’ve cultivated worthiness. People with a lack of self-worth often believe that they don’t deserve to belong or receive love, and when we feel we don’t deserve something, we reject it.
Believe that you deserve love and belonging.
This is considered reflection and it is when you intentionally recall and appreciate how far you've come, how much progress you've made and internalizing it.
Remind yourself of your accomplishments
You'd be surprise the number of people who feel unworthy and believe that they are not valuable. This can be manifested as withdrawal and avoiding others but it can also be manifested as outgoing and needed external validation. Please remember that you are not alone.
Acknowledge that you are not alone
