Priceless Self Worth

Lifetime Art Impressions image

As a Mother I really believe my boys learn more from my actions or non-verbal approaches as apposed to learning from my words (which is good more times than not)! I've always tried to be fair with them and, if I mess up, I've learned to recognize it and apologize just as I would expect them to do for me when tables are turned. Through the good times and bad, I've somehow been able to hold my head high and keep my ethics in check knowing these young pupils of life we're absorbing all of my reactions along the way. One of my biggest fears has been the disabling thought of either of them not possessing healthy self-worth. I'm really proud of both of them and I'm so grateful they've found their way and, in their young teen lives, they are both exuding priceless self-worth. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm praying a lot along the way to help us all stay on course, taking it and enjoying one day at a time! This is what inspired my article below, which was posted on the Examiner prior to them closing their online doors and removing the content.

Priceless self worth

What is the value of your self-worth? Self-worth comes from within each of us although this perception is very apparent to others. How you think of yourself is projected into the world like an imaginary price tag floating over your head. Are you projecting a priceless self worth or are you red tagged and targeted for the clearance rack? 

Most people will spend hours in the kitchen preparing wonderful meals for their loved ones but when it comes to making their own food, a five minute meal is customary or perhaps there isn't any meal prepared.  Why is it we can justify spending our time on someone else’s needs but not on our own? Perhaps we’re people pleasers and we crave praise from others to validate our own existence; someone needs you, therefore you must be valuable!? 

Your self-worth doesn’t increase from external praise although in the moment it may feel like it. It can be improved, fundamentally, by embracing spirituality inclusive of mindfulness. Learn to appreciate the wonder of you and how to manifest a healthy life and when you do this, you'll find miracles within the most ordinary places. Practice letting go of preconceived notions such as self-centeredness or selfishness. Fill your spirit with self-love. Set aside time prioritizing your own needs; this refueling will help you better serve others in your life. 

Allow this self-love to clear the distortion from your mirror image and let this new found confidence radiate self-esteem and reflect your priceless value to the world!
