Journal Prompt #4
How is your relationship with your sense of self-worth?
How does this sense of self-worth affect your relationships?
Self-worth has been a big one for me lately.
The biggest thing I've noticed about it, is how it fluctuates depending on the relationship.
What I mean is, my self-worth in business/career/monetary compensation is very firm. I have no problem asking for exactly what I want, and not accepting anything less than that.
However, my self-worth in relationships is pretty shaky. I doubt myself more. I doubt my intuition more. I question my gut and my heart. In essence, settling for less than.
I'd like for you to look at your self-worth in as many different relationships possible.
To list a few:
Career/job
Romantic
Friends
Family
Food
Of course, if you think of others- please explore those. Or perhaps you dive into one category (say, friendship), but look at the way in which your self-worth varies depending on the friend.
The big takeaway here is trying to notice the nuances of a very important attribute. Even if you feel strong in some areas, where can you strengthen into others?
And on the other hand, are you being strong to the point of stubborn or guarded? Where can you afford to soften?
Good luck!
