Give yourself your own worth

My country origins have always put me in an inferior position since I was little and I have often belittled myself. Even in kindergarten, the nuns made my friends embroider, who were the daughters of merchants, artisans ... but I, who was the daughter of farmers, was not taught. This situation was repeated in secondary school. I do not remember having suffered at the time, but I carry the memory of these things, in a way they have left a mark. A few years ago I began to understand my value and I say that it is not easy to put it into practice. For me it has taken a long time to get to where I am.

What is asserting yourself? What is valuing yourself and how do you start? Taking small steps, daring to say what I think, daring to feel and express my feelings. Not letting the fear of rejection or of what others think stop us from showing our true thoughts and feelings. Valuing ourselves is loving ourselves, it is accepting who we are and allowing ourselves to be our authentic self at all times, alone and in front of others. Valuing myself is following my heart and saying and doing what makes me feel at peace with myself. Valuing myself is loving myself.

This change in my attitude has brought with it, over the past few months, a multitude of positive effects. I am receiving strong demonstrations of affection, of esteem, of good, of job offers and I am learning to believe that I also have a value, I am learning to believe in myself. It is wonderful to discover your own self-esteem. Credit is also due to the people I met in the Teaching, to the people I met at work. I am very grateful because I realize, little by little, that I have value and, if others show me, without the ego intervening, I say THANK YOU.

I have learned to say THANK YOU instead of saying NOT TRUE.
