Self-steam and Self-worth

I would like to share with you something that I think is very important for us if we want to be healthier. It is not only the physical body that counts when we are looking for good health but what is inside...our thoughts.

One of the most important things a person brings to a relationship is how he/she feels and thinks about himself; his self-worth and how he thinks and feels about himself based on other's opinions (Self-esteem) These two are extremely important in our relationships. Experts in this subject said that children are more receptive when they feel good about themselves.

When you feel good about yourself, your motivation is higher and you become more involved in everything you do. You feel positive and happy! Nothing will stop you from achieving your goals.

Sometimes we feel so down and we think that we don't have any value...Wrong! You are of great value. Remember that you are a son or daughter of God and you have some divinity from Him. You have what you need inside you to improve yourself, use your creativity, imagination, and talents, and feel good about it. You can enjoy every moment of your life. Take time for yourself and stop thinking about all the things people say about you.  Don't pay attention to it.  It is not worth it!

Whenever you feel down, think of good times when you feel good about yourself. Think of past successes. What did you accomplish? How did you feel? Bring that feeling toward you. When have you felt of greatest worth and why? What are your strengths? Also, count your blessings, read your scriptures, and other books that will uplift your spirit and make you feel good.

Why self-esteem and self-worth?

Because all that happens in your mind has a direct influence on your physical body and your health.  Example: When you are happy you don't go and look for "comfort" foods.  You don't need them.  Those feelings make your body work good inside you.
