Encouragement goes a long way…

Self-worth is a trait in high demand but short supply. Unfortunately, many find it difficult to have the level of self-worth needed to live a happy and fulfilling life.

If you’re suffering from self-worth issues, don’t panic. There are ways that you can start building your feelings of self-worth to start living a happier, healthier life.

Consider the following proven-effective methods below:

Don’t Let Others Define You

This is commonly-said advice for a reason. To start feeling better about yourself, you’ll need to recognize your own importance. This means not letting anyone else define you. To build up your self-image, start treating yourself as if you’re someone important – because you are! Care about how you see yourself—and not about others. In today’s world we are on sensory overload and bombarded with ideas of how we should look, dress, eat, where to live, what to drive, what to think – the list goes on and on. When you start focusing more on yourself, and not be influenced by outside stimulus – you will notice an unbelievable change!

Treat Yourself the Way You Treat Others

To better build your self-worth, start treating yourself like you would someone else you care deeply about and respect. We tend to be a lot more forgiving and caring for others—and we could significantly raise our own self-worth if we did the same for ourselves. To do this, don’t beat yourself up for making an err – in judgment. Instead, be forgiving and kind with yourself in all that you do. Start learning from the choices you make.

Have Patience

Similarly, as humans we have a tendency to feel as if we need what we want immediately. From having a better job to a better body, we require almost instant gratification. For this reason, we can be easily discouraged from working to actually achieve a goal even if it has long-term benefits. Instead of doing this, realize that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Take baby steps each day while never losing sight of your goal.

By giving yourself more room to be who you really are, you can build your self-worth in no time.
Just remember to have patience and be kind to yourself – you are worthy of every happiness!
