Self-worth comes from knowing that you are enough, just as you are. You are inherently worthy, and you don’t need anyone else’s approval. And yet, we all find ourselves at one point in our lives doubting ourselves and our self worth. We all have times when we get caught up in routines and behaviors that don’t support us. Today, it is time to stop doubting yourself, accepting less than you deserve and putting your needs last. Instead begin to recognize that you have the ability to make changes in your life and that you are never powerless. Today, stop focusing on what is wrong with you and your life. Most of us have a tendency to focus on what is wrong with us, and what it is we want to “fix.” There is no end to the ways we can critique ourselves! We unconsciously get into the mental routine of continually undermining our own self-worth. Today, stop focusing on what is wrong with you. Regardless of how you might want to improve, you have things that are worth celebrating about yourself. You have gifts and unique talents that have come together to create you—a unique expression of humanity. Today stop accepting less than you deserve. Many of us look for our self-worth in the wrong places. Rather than getting it from ourselves, it’s easy to get into the habit of looking to others to make us feel worthy and loved. This can lead to struggling stand up for yourself and what, deep down, you know you deserve. By not wanting to upset others, you may end up giving too generously and find yourself in relationships where you feel you do not get enough in return. Finally, today stop putting yourself at the bottom of your to do list and recognize that self-care is an essential part of supporting yourself. Cultivating self-worth is a life-long journey for most of us. Being aware of how you can support yourself empowers you to take actions that will move you forward on the path to greater self-worth. As Buddha said "You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

I am worthy of the time spent healing myself. I am safe. I am enough and everything is always working out for my highest good. And so it is
