What measures your worth? – GOOD SHAPE

Do you usually look at your profession as a definition of your worth? Or can you look at yourself and see your strengths, achievements and accomplishments on ordinary days? Can you look in the mirror and be proud of the person you are, without needing to be tidier? Do you even know how valuable it is? Today’s text is to help you realize your worth, regardless of external factors!

I’ll tell you something, you are amazing simply for being who you are! Regardless of what you do, regardless of how much pressure you can handle and how much work you deliver! Above any label, you are you!

If we let our value be limited to what we do, we will enter into a constant struggle with society and with ourselves! We will charge ourselves excessively, we will exceed our personal limits to do things that, many times, others want and we don’t! And I can say one thing: we will never please everyone, so we can please ourselves!!!!

No more saying yes when we want to say no, no more suffering when looking in the mirror for not being up to the standard that society demands, no more just feeling good when you reach a great achievement!

Imagine how wonderful it would be to be able to love yourself without having to be afraid of acting selfishly when you do something for your own pleasure! Imagine how light your life can become when you look in the mirror and see your inner beauty and your personal strengths, instead of just seeing “defects”.

This is all possible and it can be easier than it looks!!!

I invite you to write your qualities and strengths on paper. Stop and think about everything you like about yourself (this may be difficult at first, but don’t give up!!!! I expect at least 10 good things about you).

Now look in the mirror and say how amazing you are, how good a person you are, that you are doing your best, that you are looking to evolve. Say you’re proud of your own story, that you’re grateful for everything you’ve done, that you forgive yourself for times when you made a mistake or that you charged yourself more than necessary.

Being able to train that look with yourself and change the way we treat each other will make all the difference! That way you will be training self-compassion, self-love, self-care and consequently your self-esteem! But remember, this is a journey and not a miraculous task that, if done a few times, will already get results, okay? I hope this text is just the beginning of an internal reflection and awareness of beliefs and some limiting thoughts. I really hope that you delve into yourself and can deal with this issue of self-worth in an even deeper and more liberating way!

Stop being what others say about you and be, right now, just you!

When I started to value myself every day, I managed to reduce several “neuras” of my day to day. Because I learned to look at myself with other eyes and not to demand external things from myself! I came to see how important I was just for being myself. That the people around me liked me for who I am and that I could like me too!

Hope it can be a beautiful journey for you there too!
