#41 - How to Increase Your Self-Worth

Yvette Erasmus Season 1 Episode 41

High self-esteem is important because it influences how individuals perceive themselves, interact with others, and navigate the world around them. 

By fostering healthy self-esteem, individuals can cultivate resilience, confidence, and well-being, laying the foundation for a fulfilling and satisfying life.

When our self-esteem is lower than we'd like, there's one fool-proof way to bolster it:  by resting in our own goodness. 

This week's podcast discusses some practical steps we can take to increase our own sense of self-worth.  

We discuss:

  • 4:49   When demand energy robs us of the joy of giving
  • 13:55   A script for building intimacy by using curiosity
  • 21:22   Is it ok to change my mind frequently?
  • 25:54   A multi-faceted prescription for deeper connection with others
  • 28:04   How do I navigate family gatherings when my relatives say hurtful things?
  • 33:40   Tips for increasing self-worth
