Reclaim Your Self-Worth
The path to get your self-worth back...

Quote of the day...
“The richness of present-moment experience is the richness of life itself. Too often we let our thinking and our beliefs about what we ‘know’ prevent us from seeing things as they really are.”

Reclaim Your Self-Worth
The path to reclaiming your self-worth involves looking inward, getting curious, and embracing your true self. Since the belief that you must justify your existence by constant action isn’t a conscious choice, tapping into your subconscious can be a powerful means of shifting this perception.
One approach is to identify and befriend the parts of yourself that are trying to keep you safe through excessive external focus and action. You can move forward and regain your intrinsic worth simply for being who you are by integrating these components.
Susan McConnell's book, Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy: Awareness, Breath, Resonance, Movement, and Touch in Practice, has techniques for this journey. Dr. Lucia Capacchione also created a non-dominant handwriting method that allows you to access your subconscious and identify the demands of these inner regions.
The non-dominant handwriting approach can be attempted as follows:
1. Get a journal and pen, and then take a time to relax.
2. Think back to a recent instance in which you saw yourself using excessive giving and activity to justify your existence.
3. Take note of your feelings throughout that encounter.
4. Write a letter to the part of you that thinks it needs to concentrate on doing things outside of yourself in order to be safe. For rational thought, use your dominant hand; for subconscious thought, use your non-dominant hand. For each hand, you can even use a different color pen.
Start with a simple greeting using your dominant hand.
Allow your non-dominant hand to express itself.
Acknowledge and affirm the subconscious part using your dominant hand.
Continue the conversation, repeating the process.
Finish with your dominant hand sending a message of understanding and support.
Spending time befriending and integrating these parts can help shift your belief from “I am a human doing” to “I am a human being.” You already have enough just by being. If this is hard for you to believe, perform the exercise and see what comes out. You can take a variety of routes on your particular journey towards self-acceptance and self-discovery.
