We all go through various stages of challenges in our lives
which at times can threaten to erode our sense of
self-worth. Here is what you can do. 

1. Let go of your self-doubts by not ignoring them. Self
doubts such as “I am not sure I can make this work” or “am
I good enough?” can overpower you if you give in to them.

Know what your self doubts are. Do the best you can to
accept them without identifying yourself with their charged
feelings. For these feelings are really not you. When you
feel comfortable enough with the feelings, release them.
Let them go by repeating to yourself: "I can let go of
these doubts, because they are not serving me”.

2. Raise your inner vibration by reminding yourself of your
unique greatness. Most of us have made a habit of focusing
our attention on our self doubts, that we end up losing
sight of our greatness.

Remind yourself often about how far you have come in your
life. Think of all you have achieved up to now. Maybe you
have helped other people better themselves. You may have
made some exceptional discoveries which have enriched the
lives of many. Or perhaps you have cared for your family
with tender love, total dedication and commitment
accompanied by tears and joy.

Remember that you are in this world to make your
contribution in your own special way. Don't compare
yourself to others. For you cannot be everything to
everybody. Therein lies your unique greatness.

Allow the picture of your past achievements to pass through
your inner mind. Recognize how your greatness cannot be
quantified. Because of its uniqueness.

When you remind yourself of your specific greatness, you
feel greater joy and elation which increase your sense of
self worth. And as your inner vibration rises, whatever
self doubts you may still have begin to diminish until they
completely evaporate.

3. Invite people you know to tell you what attracts them to
you. One of the things that can lower your self worth is
not knowing how people feel about you. I have found that
people who encourage other people for their feedback exude
an indestructible sense of self worth.

This is one reason why testimonials get high praises. They
help strengthen the self worth of the individual user.

Ask your friends, relatives and colleagues to tell you what
they find to be your strength. What attracts them to you,
and how they feel about you. Then observe how their
revelations make you feel. Relish with pure gusto what you
now know about yourself.

Use these simple and effective strategies whenever you fall
into the trap of self-doubts, to get out of it fast and to
enhance your sense of self worth.
