In truth, everyone is valuable beyond measure.  Indeed, self-worth is unconditional and ever-present and available to all.

Yet many people suffer from low self-worth, which can, in turn, lead to low self-esteem.

Causes of Low Self-Worth

The causes of low self-worth are many, but one of the most common is when an individual determines their personal worth based on their successes and achievements. 

This is an external definition of one's worth and will vary in relation to external circumstances, resulting in a loss of self-worth when goals are not met. 

How to Improve Self-Worth

It is imperative to understand that true self-worth is ever-present and free from all conditions.

Improving self-worth in kids (and anyone else really) is very straightforward.  One must shift their perceived worth from an external scale based on accomplishments to an unconditional internal scale of worthiness. 

Basically, improved self worth boils down to the belief that one is valuable simply because, period.  If you know a kid (or anyone else) who suffers from low self-worth, try this:

Sit together without distraction, very gently and as lovingly as you can look the person in the eye and tell her:

"You are valuable in every single way EXACTLY as you are, right now." 

Say it, and say it, and say it again, until you are certain that on some level the words have sunk in.  Then, say it one more time so that you both feeeeeeel it deep inside. 

Cord of Worthiness

Remember, self-worth is an unconditional feeling of worthiness and value; one that is inside of everyone and that simply needs to be called forth.  Improving self-worth is as simple as calling forth that cord of worthiness that runs through each and everyone of us.

Call forth that worthiness today and everyday using the simple process outlined above.  Improved self-worth really is that simple.

By the way, individuals can use this process by speaking the words to themselves in the reflection of a mirror.  This is a very powerful experience!
