Struggling with My Core Value of Self-Worth

❤️

just want to say i completely relate to this. still trying to figure it out too man.

❤️ Can you practice being person centered with yourself? Affirming all the good you do alone? Like I ask myself each morning that "I'm curious what I can do great to make myself proud?" Each night I tell myself all the things I've done, no matter how little or big.

My counselor and I were just talking about this. She suggested I do esteemable acts every day, and acknowledge them, like “I like how I handled that situation,” and to also praise myself for something physical every day, too. Not sure if either of these will actually be that helpful, as I’m afraid focusing on my appearance is still placing my value outside of myself, I think a general practice of identifying things I like about myself could be useful. Sort of how people do positive affirmations. But I also think being of service to others IS a valuable trait, so long as you don’t require their recognition to feel valuable. ❤️
