#1. Self-worth comes from being productive. People’s energy increases when they are doing positive things.
#2. Self-worth increases when a person is helping others.
#3. Self-worth comes when a person learns to be emotionally true and honest. They stop allowing others to hurt them. In other words, they take control of their life. It is valuing of self to not rely on others to feel valued. #4. Self-worth increases when a person is in an environment that doesn’t bring them down. No matter how good a person is they need positive feedback. If they cannot find that in their current environment, they need to seek places of refuge. They need to find someone who values them and who they can value.
#5. Self-worth comes from creating relationships, being pro-active and involved with others. This increases people’s ability to realize that they are of worth. (Excerpt from Stop Marrying Mistakes: Using Principles to Claim A Healthy Relationship)
