Myths We Tell Ourselves about Worthiness
Self-worth is defined by Merriam-Webster as: “a feeling that you are a good person who deserves to be treated with respect”.
Self-worth is at the core of our very selves—our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are intimately tied into how we view our worthiness and value as human beings.
Self-worth is firm and unshakeable.
Self-worth is direct measure of how you value and regard yourself in spite of what others may say or do.
Self- worth doesn’t quickly or easily change when external factors or circumstances change.
Self-worth means accepting yourself wholeheartedly at all times despite your flaws, weaknesses, and limitations.
Self-worth means never allowing yourself to be defined by outside forces, including people’s opinions.
Self -Worth means never allowing outcomes to shake your confidence, faith or resolve.
Myths that we tell ourselves:
1. Our worth comes from outside of us - our qualifications, our possessions
2. We get our worth from the work that we do and how productive we are
3. Our worth increases by how we look, what type of clothes that we wear, where we shop.
4. We get more worthy by having all the answers and having it all figured out.
5. Our worth is determined by doing good, being a good person, going to church and being religious.
Look at the words that trigger you. Look at how you judge others. If the words ugly, cheap, lazy, unproductive, heathen trigger you or you judge others by those standards, chances are you may have to look at yourself and your self worth.
You are worthy.
You are worthy
You are worthy
Nothing and no one can change that
You get to choose if you believe that or not
