Valuing Yourself
These days it seems like kids are told they are wonderful every few seconds and that’s great-it really is. I believe you can’t get too much self esteem in your life and belief in your heart. We need others to see our intrinsic worth when we are younger before we can see and appreciate it ourselves.
When this worth is present, we move through the world with poise and purpose and we respect ourselves and other people.
The only trouble is, many of us were not valued when we were younger. We were not giving the loving attention we needed from our parents and caregivers and many of us were actually degraded, put down and disrespected to the point where we lost all sense inner value. We felt we had nothing to offer to the world and this is not a pleasant feeling at all.
Feeling worthless is such an unpleasant feeling in fact that many of us bury it. Feeling worthless means we are destined to be alone…and that’s not a pleasant experience. After all, if we are worthless, who will want to be friends with us, care about us…who will connect with us? People will not see any value in being with us.
When you feel worthless deep down, and you are unaware of it…you will attract people who treat you this way. They will not value what you do for them. They will treat you badly and the reason why is simple. You will be conveying to them, albeit, subconsciously that you have no value in the world and they will treat you accordingly.
Becoming wealthy or even earning a good living will is very tough, as the kind of people who can pay you well will not be attracted to what you have to offer.
So what can you do to turn things around.
Well for one thing…you can become aware of the feeling of worthlessness in your body. If you search for it….you will find it (if it’s there)
Just openly feel this feeling and let it be there. Fighting it will only make it stronger.
Hold the feeling in loving awareness.
The second thing you can do is to start to value yourself.
Really start to value yourself…and treat yourself well.
This is the conscious part of the process where you look at how you live your life and decide to put yourself first for a change. Look after your own affairs first. Pay yourself first.
When you start to do this-you will start to see different people show up in your life or people will just treat you differently.
And more money will start to flow.
