This is so huge. I think one of the great mistakes we make is never appreciating our own talents. Some of us fear sounding Narcissistic not understanding there is a difference between that and self-worth. I like to use the bathing suit example ( especially since it is still so hot around the country). So many times we get down on ourselves if we have gained a few pounds and even worse if someone else comments on it (often times not so thin themselves). I always say find a bathing suit that looks flattering on you, the right fit, colors, style etc and be confident in it. AND buy one you would like to one day fit in and set a goal to one day be in it. In other words, build self worth.
We have to learn our self worth when we accomplish things. Cherie for example writes books. That is something amazing. Revel in starting a new job, going back to school, winning a game of intellect, winning or doing well in an athletic competition, starting a new hobby…..
I have just realized it, after being Lenβs wife, and caregiver a good part of our marriage β€οΈ
