Components Of Self Worth, and their Healthy Assessent
Components Of Self Worth | How to Judge in a Healthy Manner |
Sense of Competence | Focus on your efforts and progress, not just outcomes. Celebrate small successes and acknowledge what you've learned from challenges. Realistically compare yourself to your past self, not others. |
Sense of Belonging & Acceptance | Prioritize healthy relationships with people who see and appreciate your true self. Foster a sense of belonging in communities aligned with your values. Practice healthy boundaries with people who erode your self-worth. |
Intrinsic Motivation | Pursue goals that stem from your own interests and passions, not solely to please others. Connect actions to your values for a sense of purpose and fulfillment. |
Self-Acceptance | Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses without harsh judgment. Practice self-compassion, extending the kindness you'd offer a friend. Work towards improvement from a place of self-love, not self-loathing. |
Sense of Security | Build resilience by facing challenges in manageable steps. Develop healthy coping mechanisms for stress and uncertainty. Cultivate a support network you can rely on in tough times. |
External Validation (Use with Caution):
Focus on quality over quantity of validation. Feedback from trusted sources holds more weight.
Don't rely on it as your sole source of self-worth. Build up that internal foundation.
