Deep dives
Understanding Self-Worth
Self-worth is recognized as an internal acknowledgment of one's value, independent of external validation or approval. Many men struggle with self-worth because they have outsourced their feelings of validation to society, family, and peers, neglecting their ability to recognize their intrinsic value. It's essential to grasp that self-worth emerges from both doing challenging tasks that matter to the individual and genuinely appreciating oneself throughout that process. This dual recognition of effort and self-acceptance is critical in countering the negative feelings that hinder self-worth.
