When you struggle to see your own self worth x
Do you have anything in particular to remind you that you are worth it?
I’ve been struggling a bit the past few days (SHOCKER) after some stuff happening, and I’m struggling to see my own worth and I can’t seem to put it into perspective.
Any kind suggestions are appreciated  |

I don’t have any suggestions, but I do think you’re brilliant you bring joy to people especially in forums and you do that by being yourself  |

I find being outdoors really helps. Walking allows lots of things to settle in my brain without me thinking about it too hard.
Hope you find things easier soon. You are enough, always

See that stuff that happens, it happens, regardless of how you value yourself
I value myself on what I do, what I give, who I am, as opposed to how I look or (to a degree) how others view me
I know I am a good person
I don't let the perception of others sway that
So, can I ask, how you value your worth? |

If I was struggling with recognising my self-worth - or struggling mentally in general - I’d look into counselling. Not saying that’s what you should do! It’s just that if these things aren’t explored from the root, they tend to fester or come back. It’s good to have the tools to properly deal with these feelings and insecurities.
And yes, you’re ace! X |

Wish I could give you good advice but I can't remember the last time I looked or thought about myself and thought good things..
I guess if you can't judge yourself, judge your friends. You can tell alot about yourself by the type of friends you have.
You know I think you are incredible |

I make sure I have Me time. It can be a full day doing what I want or just 20 minutes sitting somewhere public watching the world go by.
When something is really bothering or if I feel I'm out of my depth I tell my colleague at work. He is very calm and tells me what I'm doing right rather that focusing on the negative things going through my mind. |

Kylie, you should love yourself.
You are the most authentic honest person on here...you are probably one of the very few to be their true self on here, most of the rest of us are hiding stuff.
You're a beautiful person. |

"Ohh no beaut  i feel ya though I have been the same for the last few days. When I feel like this I try and do things that make me feel good about myself so healthy eating and exercise, even if its just a nice walk it helps to clear your head. I also usually have a little pamper session even if its only putting on a facemask or painting your nails it can help lift your mood. And lastly I do a guided meditation for a decluttering of the mind ohh and I forgot about cleaning I do that too
I hope you are ok beautiful you are an amazing kind and generous person never forget that "
Thanks Belle, that’s so nice of you to say xxx and I think you came up with some really good suggestions x
Hope you are well urself pretty lady x |

Oh I’m sorry you are feeling this.
Funnily enough I’ve been like that this week too.
I wallow in it for a little while then I kick myself up the bum and tell myself to snap out of it. I’ll journal about it in a note book then run a bubble bath and have a glass of wine, candles and a flask mask and fluffy towels and bath robe and generally make myself feel better.
It’s a very hard head space to be in but you have to tell yourself you are worthy and work through those negative voices.
I hope you find a way the works for you darling x |

I remind myself that I am God of my own world. I control every aspect of it and can change anything I want. No one knows what it is like to be me so it is a truly unique experience that has been ace so far.
I also like to look at nature or up at the sky and think about how special existence is. There is so much beauty and love in the world and the fact that I have an opportunity to experience it is something really special.
It is easy to focus on the negative but i love myself because I'm never going to be anyone else. It makes no sense to not as there are no benefits.
Life is short but it's also the longest thing you'll ever do.
Stay string sister |

Thanks lovely! I think writing it all down in a journal is actually such a great thing . Sometimes it’s good to put it down and see it, it makes maybe more sense than having stuff going round and round in the head ? Xx
Hope you are feeling better lovely x |

It's difficult to advise you, be easier if I knew you better.
My self worth is based on others around me, family, friends, my community involvement colleagues, my political beliefs, people I chat with at the gym, my cat is my greatest fan 
Hope you have other interests than Fab. If you like you can chat with me off the forum and get to the bottom of your problem. I'm not a professional behaviour consultant, I have had enough experience dealing with others and a long life to understand others. |

Yes indeed! Sometimes what I write is just strings of nonsense thoughts that make no sense if you read it again but I tend not to read it once I’ve written it down.
You are so sweet for asking & I feel lots better today. Your message and a couple of other people messaging has helped.
You have a great self care Sunday xx |

Reading affirmations. I have a couple of flip books around the house. The kids change them and although they can't read it's nice to see what they've changed it to |

I change my avatar on other media to 'you are enough'.. Which gives me a little jolt each time. I also allow myself a little time to wallow, but i also try to walk, appreciate nature and sit and feel the sun on my face
One of the coaches i follow posts fab little quotes that really connect: "if criticising yourself for years hasn't worked, why not try approving yourself and see what happens"
Its just like when we bolster a friend who is having a rough week.. Use that same tactic on yourself
I hope you feel better soon x |

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, OP. I've started to make notes in my diary of when I did something good or someone did something nice for me. When I'm feeling low or disconnected, I can look back and remind myself.
In the moment, I head outside for some literal space - especially when the weather is wild like today!
Take care, the comments on this thread show you're a lovely person and loved too |

MrsGrealish I hope you are already feeling even slightly better by seeing how much support you have on here, the only advice I can give is say talk about and it like you have today, maybe write how you feel down even if only you will see it and you’ll rip it straight, just getting things off you chest will help and I do hope your ok x |

OP, firstly, we all have periods of self doubt so please don't think you're alone in this regard.
Some truly great suggestions from others. I would add a couple of suggestions:
1 adopt a distance from your doubts..and view your self as though you were talking to a friend going through something similar. You will find it easier to look at what is going on with your emotions.
2 have you ever tried journalling? It's been proven to help improve mood and foster optimism. It's a great way of writing about your day, preferably from a 3rd person or calling yourself by your name.. again as a form of distancing. It's very cathartic and only takes 15 minutes a day. Helps make sense of how you're feeling.
3 write down your achievements, make a list of uour strengths..you'll soon see you've got a lot of individual strengths, dome you might not even consciously realise!
Have a few book suggestions too which will help.. but won't bore all but have to pass on for those interested.
Hope uou geel better soon. Love and hugs |
