Self Worth

Over the last week, I have been working on the topic of self-worth. As I have been diving into this subject, I have noticed that in today’s society, many people struggle in this area of personal knowledge.

I have noticed that people seem to ignore or do not give much thought to the fact that every action reflects how we see ourselves and sets us up for the way people will or will not treat us.

Not that I am saying that everything that others do to or toward us is a reflection of us or our actions because I am not saying at all. 

What I am trying to say is if people believe that they can treat you a certain way without consequence or will gain a certain reward for their behavior, then more times than not, they will treat you that way.

Unfortunately, that is just how humans are.

However, if we have a strong self worth, people will respond to you differently, just as you will respond to them differently. So now, let’s dive into this topic a little.

What is self-worth?

Well, self-worth is another way of saying self-esteem, so what is self-esteem, you may be asking? It is confidence in one’s worth, abilities, or self-respect. 

How do you reflect self-worth?

Honestly, in many different ways. Some of them are,

• In the way, you carry yourself or in your appearance
• The way you think, treat or talk to others
• On how you respond to situations or people
• In the kind of relationship in which your keep

And these are only a few ways in which you can reflect your self-worth or self-respect.

What are some things you can do to increase your self-worth?

• Acceptance
• Taking time away from others will help you discover yourself.
• Stay clear of negative energy
• Avoid toxic people and environments
• Know your limits. 

These are just a few things of a long list of things you can do or try to increase your self-worth.

Some other things to be aware of about self-worth.

You will reflect your self-worth in your words and actions. An example is if you are always seeking to get even or to hurt others the way they have hurt you, then you are telling others that you have little confidence in yourself and can only gain respect from others through fear.

If you can ignore people who mistreat you and just simply avoid them, you are sending a message that you do not need to get even with them and have confidence that everything will be okay with or without them in your life. Just walking away from people who do bad things sends a clear message that you deserve better people in your life than them.  This is a clear message of your worth not just to them but to yourself as well.

 Another example would be If you dress like a million bucks and take care of yourself, you will likely attract people who will treat you like a million bucks and want to take care of you in all the right ways.

So in closing, what we do, say, and think will reflect our self-worth to the world around us, and in that, we attract certain kinds of people who will treat us the way we reflect we want to be treated.
