How to Rediscover Your Self-Worth – [VIDEO: Teal Swan]

So often we are focused on what's missing from our lives. I believe as humans, we are always looking out, looking for more, with a collective, creativity to fill something within us that we deem as incomplete. For some reason, we tend to see value in tangible things we can touch and see rather than the aspects that emote us into positive action and direction towards our greatest potential.

If you are lucky, as a child you had parents that reflected the embodiment of self-worth to you; showing you what it looks like to be confident with healthy boundaries, able to ask for help when you need it, and go for what you want. Able to face fear and take risks, but also able to know when something doesn't serve your highest good and value yourself enough to say no or walk away.

When we are instead shown insecurities, fears, misplaced emotions, etc. then we as children learn that self-worth is something that is only attainable through what we perceive as “other” or separate from us. We begin to form limiting beliefs that our value is dependent on others and we might forms very destructive habits that lead us to think we are not enough, in one or many areas of our lives from our looks to our dreams, to how we tie our shoes.

It is a toxic cycle that we often unconsciously fall into and since it begins so early in our childhood, this behavior is reinforced because the thoughts, the negative beliefs are thought and believed over and over and over. So, as the following video by the awesome spiritual mentor, Teal Swan explains how the fastest way to rediscover your self-worth is to take account of your thoughts and then consciously begin to have NEW ones. 

She goes on to explain how to separate your thoughts from bleeding into your feelings. Meaning, just because we might think we are worthless in the moment, doesn't mean we need to feel worthless. As suggested, it serves us best to think of ourselves of a friend instead and how we would talk to them if they were the one thinking they were worthless. Would we tell them we agree and justify them going into the emotion as well full on? Hell no! As a good friend, we will do what we can to lift them up, to reconnect their spirit to their truth of the beauty within them. To help them see what they've become blind to, to remember what they've forgotten.

It's time we become our own best friends…

Enjoy! 🙂
