Summary

Welcome to episode 89 of The Mindful Kind podcast about cultivating self-worth.

This episode is a follow on from episode 87 of The Mindful Kind about dealing with challenging relationships. Something I talked about was how building self-worth can help us deal with relationships and I thought I would dive a little deeper into that in this episode!

First of all, you'll hear some of my own experiences with having low self-worth and why I decided I wanted to improve it.

I mentioned some books which I found really insightful and helpful on this journey, including:

- The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown

- Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed

- Quiet by Susan Cain

- You can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay

Here are my two top tips for improving self-worth:

TIP 1 // Stop outsourcing your self-worth

Look at how you might be outsourcing your self-worth and choose instead to appreciate your personality, choices, individuality etc.

TIP 2 // Use affirmations

Affirmations help us train our brains to think in new and more positive ways. For a great resource, check out Louise Hays website at: www.louisehay.com

My latest interview was on the Live Immediately podcast with Mike Campbell (episode 49).

I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!

0:44.7	I heard from quite a few listeners that they really enjoyed the episode

0:54.1	As someone who has struggled
0:55.4	with many insecurities in various relationships, I can say that not only does increasing
1:01.1	self-worth improve our capacity to deal with challenging people, it can also truly enrich
1:07.0	and strengthen other relationships too. So let's talk about some ideas for cultivating self-worth.
1:14.2	First of all, I want to share with you that I used to have a really low sense of self-worth.
1:19.7	I was super insecure. I constantly compared myself and never felt good enough. I criticized lots of
1:26.7	things that I did. I didn't really like the
1:29.2	person that I was and I wished I was more confident and outgoing and I worried about my acne
1:34.9	and my thick frizzy hair and the big size of my feet. But my self-worth was impacted by much more
1:41.0	than my body image and comparison. I was constantly feeling like I wasn't good enough
1:46.2	as a person. It's hard to explain, but it was so much more than the way that I looked. It was about
