You are Worthy
Self-worth has been a big part of my personal journey. It is very connected to self-love and also abundance. Though they are similar, self-worth and self-love do carry subtle differences.
Self-worth is the foundation. It has nothing to do with how you look, what you have accomplished, or what others think of you. It's the inherent belief that I matter, simply because I exist. Meaning I am born worthy, and in my personal views we are all children of God..
God dwelleth within, and that alone makes us inherently worthy. Self-worth says, "even though I am imperfect and make mistakes, I have value." I have started thinking of self-worth as the foundation, because if it is shaky or has leaks, then other areas of your life are going to face challenges, such as your boundaries, your confidence, your relationships with self and others, and the way of receiving love.
Self-worth is not something that has to be earned… I hope you heard that 💗 Self-love is more about action. It has to do with how you treat yourself, how you speak to yourself, how you show up for yourself, how you tend to your own garden, how you think about yourself (are your thoughts kind or harsh), how you say no when you mean no and say yes when you mean yes. Self-love is an ongoing journey. Like the many layers of an onion, peeling them back, one at a time. Baby steps.
Self-love also lives in the body, rest when you're tired, eat when you're hungry, move in ways that feel good rather than punishing. And sometimes, self-love looks like doing nothing. Not earning. Not improving. Just being.
I have had an inner critic that I gave my power over to for most of my life, and I am still working on it, catching the thought and flipping it, talking to myself the way I would to a child. Being hypercritical of yourself is a very deeply ingrained pattern that usually stems from our parents and upbringing. God bless the baby boomers, but damn… there is a lot of unpacking there. And of-course it was passed down through their parents, and this is how generational patterns and trauma work, until one person in the family has the awareness and insight to break them. If that's you, like it has been me: I see you. Great work!
It isn't easy, but it's the most important and invaluable thing you can do for yourself, your children, grandchildren, and on.Abundance is tied to self-worth, not just money, but a sense of enoughness. When a person feels truly stable within themselves, that stability expresses outward, and it signals to themselves, others, and the universe that they’re open to receiving. The reverse is also true: receiving can deepen self-worth. And openness without action remains potential, so stability also inclines you toward aligned steps.
Alignment is the deep undercurrent that carries both. When you are aligned, self-worth isn’t something you are convincing yourself of, and abundance isn’t something you reach for; both simply become true at the same time.
I want you to know that you are beautiful, inside and out and that you are deeply worthy of all good things in life… simply because you were born.
Love, Amy
