Discover Your True Value: You Are Worth More Than You Know

If you’re reading this, congratulations! You stumbled upon an article that contains the key to unlocking your true value. Yes, you are worth more than you know! But before we dive into the good stuff, let’s address a few things.

Why Do We Doubt Ourselves?

Let’s face it – humans can be pretty critical of themselves. We often focus on our flaws and insecurities rather than recognizing our strengths and accomplishments. Society doesn’t help either – with constant pressure to look a certain way or achieve unrealistic goals, it’s no wonder we doubt ourselves so much!

The Comparison Trap

One big reason for self-doubt is the comparison trap. We tend to compare ourselves to others who appear successful or perfect in some way. This only leads us down a path of feeling inadequate and unworthy.

Fear of Failure

Another factor is fear of failure. Sometimes we hesitate to take risks because we’re scared of what might happen if things don’t work out as planned. However, success often requires taking chances and learning from mistakes along the way.

Now that we’ve identified some reasons why people tend to undervalue themselves, let’s move onto how you can break free from these limiting beliefs!

Finding Your True Value

The first step in discovering your true value is simply acknowledging how awesome you truly are! It may sound cheesy but think about all the times you’ve overcome obstacles or achieved something great – those moments define your worth.

Recognize Your Strengths

Make a list (we love lists!) of everything that makes up who you are – not just what society deems as important – including hobbies/passions/quirks/strengths/personal achievements/etcetera. Include even small details like being able to make perfect scrambled eggs without fail. Remember not every strength needs to be some big grandiose talent that would win you a Nobel Prize.

Here are a few prompts to help get started:

  • What do people often compliment me on?
  • When have I felt the most fulfilled?
  • What situations bring out my best qualities?
  • What is something that comes easy for me and hard for others

An added bonus of recognizing your strengths is being able to hone in on them rather than trying to change yourself or compare yourself constantly with someone else.

Embrace Your Flaws

It’s important to embrace your flaws too. We’re not perfect, and that’s okay! No one is without flaw, nor should they feel pressured by others’ definition of ‘perfect’. By embracing every quirk and imperfection in ourselves – like our height, accent or mannerism – we can create an environment where everyone feels accepted (including ourselves!).

Silence Your Inner Critic

We all have an inner critic who likes to point out everything wrong with us even when there isn’t really anything wrong. Sometimes it seems impossible quieting its voice but once again lists are our friend!

Write down the times when your inner critic starts becoming vocal about you‘re supposed shortcomings. This way you notice if there’s any pattern(s) which trigger it.Whenever these thoughts come creeping back just refer quickly glance at this reminder list you’ve made

Owning Your True Value

Now that we’ve discovered and acknowledged our value, let’s embrace it fully! Here are some tips for owning your worth:

Practice Self Care

You heard right – regular self care practices helps cement yourself as having more worth than what negative thoughts would try convince you otherwise. Yoga, healthy food choices or simply taking time off once in awhile doing things that make your heart sing builds mental resilience as well physically reinforces the concept of self love so go ahead treat yo-self __(disclaimer: please be mindful of that student loan debt)__.

Set Boundaries

Part of owning your true value is knowing when to set boundaries. Say no to things that don’t serve you, and yes to things that do. Sometimes it may feel uncomfortable or selfish putting yourself first but at end of days it’s an act kindness towards oneself which needs practice like any other habit.

Surround Yourself With Positivity

Another great way to reinforce one’s worth is by creating an environment filled with positivity! Spend less time around people who make you feel negative and more time around those who uplift your spirit. __(although don’t forget how toxic positivity can itself be- let’s keep them both in balance otherwise our efforts are wasted trying_.._To encourage positive thoughts leave sticky notes on mirror/your phone screen etcetera reminding yourself qualities/good attributes about oneself – slogans which resonate could look like “I am unique, I matter,“or “This too shall pass.

Conclusion

Congratulations again for reading through till the end! It’s important we recognize our self-worth because no matter what others say, we determine what we think about ourselves ultimately not only modulate feelings & mental health but also future-yet-to-be-explored creative potentials __which means doing awesome stuff and contributing your spark into this world. Remember our journey isn’t always easy but one thing’s certain: Everyone has intrinsic value regardless if they know themselves fully or not just have faith (insert cheesiness accordingly here).Stay kind & stay curious!
