Self-worth and self-love—so beautifully simple and complicated all at the same time. Love is the foundation of everything. And with love comes a happy and calm mind. True happiness begins within, because loving others starts with loving ourselves.
If our bucket isn’t full, it’s challenging to fill the bucket of others. If we don’t truly value who we are, how can we offer love and value to those around us? The truth is, we all bring a unique value to the world. And if you don’t think you do, you just haven’t explored and found it yet.
When we understand our value—truly understand it—and internalize it, we begin to believe it. And what we focus on expands. Love and self-worth grow when we nurture them, and in turn, they radiate back to us.
Having this deep understanding of our worth turns the momentary into the monetary—but not in the way you might think. Not just more bens in the pocket, but something even greater: self-wealth. Clarity. Confidence. Decisiveness. Health. Alignment. The ability to vibe and thrive in life.
Sounds amazing, right? But it doesn’t always come easy. We have to be intentional about creating self-love and happiness. It starts with a mindset shift, daily tactical habits, and the support of the people we surround ourselves with.
What makes you feel fulfilled? Are you living in alignment with what truly brings you joy and purpose? Take a moment to reflect on your life—where do you see challenges, and where is there room to grow? If we don’t put a mirror in front of ourselves, the fogginess blurs our perception of what we truly want in life.
Mindset Shifts:
- You are enough as you are. Your worth isn’t tied to achievements or external approval.
- Self-love is not selfish. Prioritizing yourself allows you to show up fully for others.
- Perfection isn’t the goal—self-acceptance is. Embrace growth while appreciating who you are today.
Practical Habits:
- Daily self-check-in. Ask yourself: What do I need today? Then honor that.
- Declutter your self-talk. Replace criticism with encouragement—talk to yourself like you would a friend.
- Create a self-love ritual. Whether it’s journaling, movement, or a simple moment of gratitude, make time for yourself.
- Set boundaries. Protect your energy by saying no to what doesn’t align with your well-being.
Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for everything else in life. What’s one way you’ll show yourself love today? 💛
As for me, today I’m going to express gratitude to myself by saying my affirmations, moving my body in a way that makes me feel energetic and motivated to complete my work, and staying committed to my goals for the day—all while not placing my self-worth in the hands of accomplishments and achievements. Because we are enough.
And at the end of the day, if we can be just 1% better than we were when we started, that is a WIN. More on this in the near future: The 1% Better Shift.
