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.
