"If you want to improve your self-worth, stop giving other people the calculator.”

- Tim Fargo

People with high self-worth are usually full of life, successful, and authentically happy.

Whereas having low self-esteem can be the root of many downsides in both outward and inward behaviors. Individuals with lower self-worth are often more depressed, anxious, and stressed about situations. It affects both their mind and body. So, if you want to develop your self-worth and reap the benefits of having higher self-esteem, do the following-

• Understand yourself
  Knowing who you are as a person, what you want in life, and what makes you happy are the three questions you need to ask yourself. Self-worth comes from self-acknowledgment.
  
  

• Acknowledge your strengths
  Comparison is the thief of joy, and it can diminish your confidence and self-worth. Instead of looking for how others are better than you, try finding your strengths, tap into your positive and unique qualities. Write them down in a journal, and read them out loud every day.
  
  

• Put yourself first
  A better sense of self-worth starts to form when you start making decisions for yourself. Making the right choices for yourself and putting your happiness first without thinking about what others want from you is essential for a content life.
  
  

• Spend time alone
  Spending time alone can help you reflect on your life and understand yourself better. The same way you spend time with people to know them better is what you need to do for yourself.
  
  

• Tame the inner-critic
  We all have that inner-critic voice that hinders us from being grounded in our qualities and value. You have to tame that critic with self-compassion. Address those negative self-talk and change them with positive ones.

Affirmation:
I accept myself for who I am. My flaws, fears, and behaviors will not define
my worth. I am worthy of love and respect despite how my life has been.
