Self Worth Quotes & Helpful Information

Hopefully the information in this article helps you improve your the view you place on yourself so that you can live your best life.

What is Self Worth Anyway?

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, self worth is “a sense of one’s own value as a human being.”

Basically, it is how you feel about yourself in regards to the rest of the world. Do you feel that your presence on Earth is valuable? Do you have a great deal to bring to the table? Are you confident in your abilities at work and home?

How Can You Improve your Self Worth?

Changing the views you have on yourself won’t happen overnight. It’s a constant work in progress to alter your ways of thinking. However, it’s not a difficult task. You simply need to be aware of your inner critic and find better ways to think about YOU.

Determine your TRUE worth

First, you want to think about the things that do not determine your self worth – and learn to let them go.

Material things don’t have an effect on what you can offer to the world. Your bank account, the clothes you wear, the size of your home, the car you drive…none of that matters to how valuable you can be to the world.

Today’s society puts a lot of emphasis in having the biggest, most, and best. However, what truly matters is what comes from inside. A person’s compassion, kindness, respect and empathy they have for others is far more important than what they own.

Let go of your inner critic

You also need to learn to silence your inner critic. It’s been said that we are our own worst critic, and for many people, that is very true.

When you make a mistake, or don’t do something you should, you may notice that inner voice start to rise up. Stop for a second and really think about what she’s saying is true. Is it kind? Is it something you really need to hear at the moment?

If not, it’s okay to disregard those criticisms because you are still a good, valuable human being!
