You Don’t Have to Prove Your Worth - You Are Enough

It's not necessary to prove your worth to anyone, even yourself. Your worthiness is baked into who you are, you just have to accept it & believe it. But it can be difficult to know what behaviors to let go of, so I created a list to help!

Show Notes:

Self-worth is a tricky thing. It can easily be mistaken for self-esteem, which is more based on the confidence you have in your abilities, successes & achievements. Self-worth is the internal sense of knowing you are enough as you are to be accepted, to be loved, to be respected, to be anything. You don’t have to go out of your way to show you’re worthy because you already are. The reason people get all caught up in struggling with their self-worth is that it depends on you believing that you’re worthy & that you deserve certain things & being treated a certain way. The problem is that you could also decide to believe the opposite, which is where people end up having low self-worth.

And deciding to believe we are not worthy can happen for a number of reasons. We can believe the opinions & judgments from others & have those contribute to how we feel about ourselves. We can also not give ourselves grace when bad things happens, when we experience mistakes & failures and decide we are terrible people that won’t amount to anything, letting this determine our self-worth. Those of us that struggle with people pleasing have trouble with their self-worth because everything they do depends on how other people see them, treat them & allow them to be a part of their lives. 

If you want a jumpstart way to increase your self-worth, start by pulling back on your self-criticism. There are enough people around you, probably that are coming down on you, don’t add to the trouble.

But let’s chat about how you do not have to prove yourself to others & some ways you may be trying to do that when you no longer need to. Here are 5 things you need to stop doing because you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone:

1. Always helping everyone else but yourself 
2. Not asking for help from others 
3. Enduring emotional & physical pain from others 
4. Needing to always be right 
5. Compromising your morals & values
