24、Simple Ways to Value Yourself More
Self-value is the action that helps us match that self-worth. We can also think of self-value as another feeding element of the bigger umbrella term of self-worth. 【1】
Acknowledge the inner critic. We all have that loud inner voice that isn't always kind. When left unchecked, the inner critic can have destructive effects on our self-esteem. 【2】 Wresting with this critic is often a lifelong journey, but a first good step is to acknowledge it. When you can pause and acknowledge that it is calling the shots, you can learn to take back your power and value.
Receive a compliment (恭维). We’re so afraid of coming off as needy, that we hardly ever receive the good words someone sends our way. Really, the true problem here is that we don't often believe we're worthy of the compliment! The beautiful truth here is that we don't often see ourselves in the same way others see us. 【3】
Be grateful for effort. 【4】 We don't always stop to examine just how much effort we put forth in everyday living. One way to value yourself more is to be grateful for everything you do. It's easy to be critical and wish you'd done better, but you're always doing the best that you can.
【5】 When things don't go as planned, practice forgiveness. When people hurt you, practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is the free remedy that can alleviate so much of our suffering when we hold onto bitterness. It's worthy of implementing it into our everyday life.
A.Forgive yourself often.
B.It often stops us trusting in ourselves.
C.It's not always easy to show up to life.
D.This is no place for our self-worth to grow.
E.Practice positive confirmation in the Mirror.
F.So, next time someone praise you, receive their words fully.
G.Valuing ourselves is shown in various ways, many of which are highlighted below.
