4 Tips to Boost Your Self-Worth
It's natural to go through periods of feeling unworthy of love or recognition. Most of the time, these sentiments are short-lived, but sometimes they can linger for different reasons. If you have serious, long-term problems with negative thinking and depression, see your doctor or talk to a therapist if you suspect those symptoms are related to your mental health challenges.

For me waking eating well and sleep 💤… I work on maintaining or improving function. I have mobility issues at times and it helps to continue to strive towards those goals to stay healthy. I have lost 40lbs and 30lbs to go. Slow and steady wins the race. 💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful slow and steady wins the race?? We need to have a wheelchair race, slow and steady won't help you then😁😂😂😂
Perfect 👍 lol 😂 loves it I do have a cane in purple and use wheelchair to travel 🧳
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful go go keep going!!
I lost over 100 lbs have kept it off I am normal size now no one currently knows I was ever overweight, and my top weight was 330 lbs!!
Psych drugs and their effects caused that problem truthfully. Once created it was almost impossible to solve it. Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and hard work did the job!! I am super grateful for all that!!
@amiablePeace77 quickest fastest way to recover self-worth go do something kind for another person. In line for coffee? Pay for the person ahead of you. Someone drops something, pick it up. Struggling with packages offer to help carry some.
Doesn't have to cost anything; the best things in life do not involve money!
@RogueOne1983 gets in front off you in the line😁 will pay for my coffee???? Please??? Yes greeaat I'll have a large cappuccino with a giant cookie, a slice of cake and 5 icecreams 😁 thanks for paying rouge ❤ I love you ❤
@Tinywhisper11 uh dang well...
Ok
And make it two: gonna have all she is having.
Rogue and Tiny: SUGAR MELTDOWN ahahahaha

@RogueOne1983 yaaaaaay!😁😁❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 love you too sweetie 💛💜💙🍪🦄🌻
@RogueOne1983

What activities and actions make you feel worthy in life? I think helping others really makes a difference in my life.
- What could you do to make yourself feel good about yourself just the way you are? I think I need to lower my expectations and increase my self compassion. I am doing the best I can under the present circumstances.
@soulsings keep your expectations as high as your self worth ❤ your doing awsome ❤
@Tinywhisper11 thanks tiny.
Did anyone ever tell you you have a big heart?
@amiablePeace77 the only time I really feel like I'm worthy of anything. Is supporting people in here and spreading a smile or two ❤ I guess art and craft makes me feel self worth, it's like I accomplished something I can be proud of. Self worth🤔🤔🤔🤔 that's a hard one
@Tinywhisper11
You are doing a wonderful job here in supporting others Tinywhisper11! Hey, how about you join me to tell yourself something nice every time you wake up in the morning? What could you say? 😃
@amiablePeace77um 🤔🤔 something nice🤔🤔I um I don't know. Something nice about myself would be! Damn I can't think of anything. That's kinda bad.I'm really not sure what I'd say
@Tinywhisper11 here let me give you a few words about yourself.
You are kind and compassionate, have a good sense of humor and really care about people. You are wonderful to everyone and it is a delight to have you here.
@soulsings 🙂 aww thank you ❤ I guess that's one thing I can say in the morning. Is that I do try to be a good person. I try really hard🤗huggs you ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Some days I wake up and greet myself "Good Morning Ami, we're going to make this a good day and always remember you're good enough"!
@amiablePeace77 oh ok. I can do that😁❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 you do amazingly well; God has had His hand on you your whole life. I think the way you outreach people is wonderful!

- What activities and actions make you feel worthy in life?
-
Well, I never feel worthy, but I am blessed to be alive.
- What could you do to make yourself feel good about yourself just the way you are? Well, Helping others does not help me feel worthy, It is just what we should do normally. Receiving kindness always shocks me, I never expected it.
@WorkingitThrough2 😟gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
I hope there will be much kindness in your life in future to balance what you seem to have missed out in the past 💙
@amiablePeace77
Thank you. I receive that whole-heartedly❤️
