Affirming Your Worth & Value
At the core of your being, you are worthy. You are valuable, loveable and equal to everyone on
earth. No problem, behaviour or event can reduce your value as a person. How do you feel when you read this?
Do you believe you are worthy? Do you know in your core that you have value? If you really cannot answer in
the affirmative, then this exercise is for you.
Recall a time in your life when you felt good about yourself; when you felt
that human worth was real and you had a piece of it. Recall what it felt like to be okay for who you are,
regardless of faults and failings, mistakes and bad judgements. Take a deep breath and relax. Allow yourself
this moment to get in touch with your self-worth. Create an image of your value as a human being. You might
imagine it as a warm glowing light shining deep within you. Or perhaps a diamond glistening and
sparkling. Or you may visualise a person looking at you and telling you that you are important,
valuable, precious and worthy. Perhaps someone made you feel valued in your life: a teacher, a neighbour, a
friend or relative. If you cannot think of anyone in particular, imagine the most loving person standing
behind you with their hand resting on your shoulder, and hear them saying: “You are worthy…You are valued,
important, special.” Take a moment to let these words sink in to the depths of your being.
Everyday, connect with your core worth. Choose a time and place where you
can visualise your innate value and worth. It might be while lying in bed as you wake up. Or it could be in a
special place in your house (a sacred place). Or perhaps in your car as you head off to work. By doing this
everyday in the same place, you will begin to associate that place with feelings of worthiness. Your
connection to your core worth will gain power. And most importantly, you will begin to believe that you do
have value and worth.
For those who can't quite accept this,
please practice this exercise anyway and eventually you will break through the negative layer of muck that is
covering your beautiful diamond within.
If you believe in Angels, here is an
exercise that you can do to increase your sense of self-worth:
Sit quietly and
focus on your breathing. Go inward to that space within where authenticity resides. This is your true
essence. See yourself as the universe sees you: pure, beautiful, divine. Breathe into your heart, the love
centre of your being. Breathe in love. Fill your heart with Divine love. You are surrounded by angels who are
sending love to you, directly into your heart. Feel this pulsating love as it beams into your beautiful heart
centre. Imagine the angels surrounding you in a circle and looking upon you with such honour and love. You
can see the love emanating from their eyes and you can feel their love emanating from their hearts to your
heart. Sit in quietness for awhile and absorb this energy of pure love. This is who you are. This is who
others are. We are all love at our core.
