You're Awesome

I believe that self worth, or the lack of it, is at the root of everything in life. Whether you view yourself positively or negatively is foundational to all you do because it comes from the inside and moves out. It colors your life. It affects the choices you make, the things you pursue, how you interact with others and your success in various areas of life (however you view success).

Self worth is so important, and so lacking in our world today, that I teach it a lot in the work I do. It's life-altering to improve your self esteem and change the way you think about yourself. So, I was ecstatic to find a lens called You Rock by lensmaster, jacquelinestone, who also teaches and coaches about self worth.

Jacqueline begins by saying that it's often difficult to receive positive comments or compliments from others, but it's important to express appreciation to others anyway. It's also often difficult for people to give themselves positive comments or compliments. Instead, they speak negatively to, and about, themselves all day long in their minds. It's called negative self talk. And it perpetuates low self worth. This self perception is a large reason why it's really hard to accept comments of appreciation from others, but Jacqueline makes it clear that it's still worthwhile to offer praise to others. Uplifting words from someone outside themselves might just be the boost they need. She explains, "I believe that, while it's nice to receive compliments from others, how we feel is ultimately up to us. At the same time, experience has shown me that sometimes it's a kind word from someone else that reminds me that I am valuable and have something worthwhile to contribute. A timely compliment can jump-start my self-esteem, but it's up to me to shift it into high gear."

Jacqueline does an excellent job of compassionately sharing her personal experience with low self worth and a lot of negative self talk. She shares the methods that helped her become a person of high self worth with very little negative self talk. These methods can also help her readers "shift it into high gear."

Beautiful affirmations, statements of blessing and powerful videos add to the main text and help to illustrate the power of kind words as well as the worth of everyone in the world . . . no matter what. There's even a place for you to share your lenses that help others feel good.

So if you want or need to work on your own self esteem, want to simply feel good, or want to help others improve their worth, this lens is for you. Check it out and receive and give a statement of appreciation to someone today.
