How do you measure your self worth?

How do you measure your self-worth? Is it feedback from others or your internal feedback? Does it appear negatively or positively?

I’ve observed this lately in others. Many of us measure our self-worth from what others think. Maybe this is a natural human reaction to help provide us with feedback about our sense of self and learning, but I’ve noticed that it is often more negative than positive. I see it everywhere, in the media, organizations, hospitals, family, and friends. I guess it’s the internal suffering we go through to learn. But does it always have to be that way?

I’ve noticed it in myself. Whenever I have an internal negative dialogue with myself, circumstances conspire to give me back that negative feedback. Our external life truly is a mirror of our internal life. Sometimes that feedback is instantaneous and sometimes it is delayed in its delivery.

I think it’s important to examine those negative thoughts and regularly counter them with positive ones.  Here are some positive ones that are helpful.

I am worthy of Love

I am happy

I am content

I am peaceful

I am a good person

I am loving

I am loved

Great things are happening to me

I love my life

Life is good

I appreciate my life

I appreciate all the wonderful experiences that my life presents me, both good and bad. It’s all learning.

I am patient with myself and others

I have a great life

I am happy and healthy

I am abundant in so many ways

There are millions of positive affirmations and this is just an example, but the more you practise these, the better you begin to feel.

Abraham Hicks, author of “Ask and It Is Given”, says that 17 seconds of pure positive thought is equivalent to 20,000 hours of action! 

So what are you waiting for? 

Have a Great Day! xx
