Self Worth
By Jennifer Conaway, CTACC, CCP
Some of you have no problem with the concept of self worth.
It is so natural it’s not even a thought. For others accepting that
you are worthy of receiving everything you want is a difficult concept
to grasp.
Have you ever looked at the BMW sitting in the local mall parking lot
and thought ‘I love that car, but I’ll never have one.” ? Ask yourself
why you believe you will never have that car.
If you are open to the truth you may find that you don’t believe you
deserve the car. Your belief about what you deserve is all about being
worthy. If your belief system says that you are not worthy of a nice
car, a good job, a happy family then you may never have any of those
things.
You come into this world worthy of receiving anything you desire.
That never changes. You are worthy of receiving without negative impacts
to anyone. For some of you that belief is chipped away, until it is
no longer a part of your conscious or unconscious behavior or belief
system. Without realizing it is even happening your belief in your right
to everything that you desire slowly slips away. As you age the new
belief may infiltrate every part of your life.
You are not alone in this new belief. Many are in the same position
you are. Many have been in that position and found there way back to
the their true self- the self that is worthy of all that they desire.
Reclaim the belief that you are worthy of anything you desire. Pay attention
to your self-talk- are you enforcing the belief that you are worthy
or limiting yourself? This is a belief that will make a tremendous difference
in every aspect of your life. It is well worth the time and effort to
accept that you are worthy.
This is a universal truth. It applies to every human on this planet-
it is true regardless of socio-economic status, ethnicity or age.
It is important, in any transition, to accept and embrace the belief
that you are worthy; to realize and accept that you have as much of
a claim to happiness, abundance and joy as anyone else. Acceptance of
this concept may change your entire outlook on a situation. Take the
opportunity to visualize the best possible outcome of your transition.
Believe that you are worthy of that outcome- get excited about it, let
the emotion of the perfect outcome flow through you. That positive feeling
will help to move you closer to your outcome.
You need to embody the belief that you have, right now, everything you
want from the transition. In your mind, the new job is yours! In your
mind, you are at peace after the divorce. Feel these emotions, when
you have a moment of doubt about your self-worth, recall the emotion,
recall the way the desired outcome looks and feels to you. Then, move
forward with a renewed sense of worth and passion for the desired outcome.
Truly embracing your self- worth impacts all aspects of your life.
You make decisions based on your sense of worth, on your believe that
you deserve something, Your self-confidence is bolstered with the understanding
that you can move forward toward what you really want from the transition.
Take the time to fully integrate a sense of self-worth into every part
of your life. The benefits will become evident every day in every decision
you make.
