So how do self motivational people work on their self worth? In the first instance they look after themselves by ensuring they eat healthily, exercise regularly and avoid abuse of their mind and body with excess stimulants eg alcohol. The message they are sending to their brain is that they are of value and if you don’t respect your mind and body then how can you expect anyone else to? Another thing that self motivational people do is to reward themselves for the positive things that they do to reinforce their self worth through self recognition. While it is easy to get caught up in the drive to achieve our goals we need to take time out to reward ourselves as we achieve smaller milestones along the way and also to remember to smell the roses along the way.

A key way to build and sustain our self worth is to selflessly do things for others without any expectation of return or reward other than the satisfaction of helping others. So again self motivational people take time out from their sometimes hectic lives of striving for their goals to do some good in their community. This may be a charitable act for a particular group or simply an act of kindness to one individual. Self motivated individuals will increase their self worth by continually looking for new knowledge or skills to enhance their ability to make a contribution to the world.

The greatest way to build our self worth is to tell ourselves that we love ourselves. Often people say this is being narcissistic and there is a danger if that is all you do to address your self worth. But remember if you don’t think it is important to love yourself why should others even begin to like you. It is about that inner voice again sending the right messages to your subconscious mind to make sure you are in the best shape to make a contribution to the world as a self motivational person.
