Self Worth/Commitment
If your anything like me you probably have struggled with finding your self worth. You most likely cared to a degree what others thought of you and the image you would potray. We can thank modern day media and social media platforms. I can’t stress this out enough…don’t be fooled by what your friends, colleagues, and family post, its only their highlight reels. No one is posting their failures, struggles or dark feelings. But we ALL are made up from success and failures in life.
In my journey back to finding myself I realized that by following through with my commitments to myself is how I have slowly been transitioning into acceptance, and growing stronger with my self worth. Now let me back up a few years ago where my self esteem and self worth was pretty non exinsistant. We all have a list of things we did when we were not at our highest point that we regret. The first step into rediscovering your inner self is forgiving yourself for the things your past self did. You are not that person anymore, we constantly evolve and change. Also, whatever your holding tightly that is not allowing you to live your life fully and bringing you down is keeping you stagnant. Let the SHIT go!
You start by giving yourself little commitments.. for example, I am going to workout twice a week consistently even if I don’t see results right away.. Once you do it, you feel proud of yourself for doing something you considered hard and following through. Then you create harder commitments for example, I will write a blog to help other people in their healing journey by telling my story and sharing my insight. I will tell you the idea of doing this came to me years ago, but I never thought I would have the confidence to share my personal life journey on a platform. Something clicked this year, in January where I finally connected the dots, and found the way to make my website, blog and line all come together.
Fast forward and yes, I feel like I rebuilt my self worth by following through with my commitments. Disclaimer, not all of them.. some of them I broke here and there and I always noticed how my body and my mind would react after.. The feeling inside, the little voice saying you know better, you are better than this, try again tomorrow. Remember your value is not define by what others can’t see in you, it’s define by what you see in yourself.
Words of encouragement..if you feel like you have no self worth, good.. now we have a starting point and the only path left is up! Start easy, be gentle with yourself and keep on discovering who you are. Be your biggest cheerleader, give yourself the pep talks, and find your self worth within yourself.
