Do you get hectic when faced with problems or do you remain calm? If your self-worth is insufficient, you quickly feel bad. Criticism from others makes it even worse. Why does everything always go wrong for you of all people - is one of your thoughts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stop - take a good look. Everyone makes mistakes. Stop comparing yourself and recognize your own value. This will make you more self-confident in the long run and <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/satisfaction\/\">happier<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-was-bedeutet-selbstwert\">What does self-worth mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distinction between self-worth, <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/self-confidence-self-confidence\/\">Self-confidence<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/self-confidence\/\">Self-confidence<\/a> is sometimes difficult. All terms basically refer to the self-centered, appreciative attitude. Self-worth, also called self-esteem, evaluates the image you have of yourself. Strictly speaking, it's not a feeling, yet many people talk about self-esteem - probably because so many <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/emotions\/\">emotions<\/a> are associated with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/dorsch.hogrefe.com\/stichwort\/selbstwert\" target=\"_blank\">Self-esteem definition<\/a> shows what a positive and realistic self-perception looks like. People with healthy self-esteem have strong resilience and stand firm in life. Low self-worth, on the other hand, makes you doubt quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-die-saulen-des-selbstwerts\">The pillars of self-worth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Self-worth is based on four pillars that provide the necessary stability. If one of these pillars weakens, the whole system begins to totter.<br>These are the pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The pillar of self-acceptance includes positive impulses such as. <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/learning-self-love\/\">Self-love<\/a>, appreciation and respect for one's own person. Achievements and abilities have no influence. That is: <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/accept\/\">Accept<\/a> also your weaknesses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self-confidence refers to the positive attitude towards personal abilities. These can look very different. For example, strong stamina is the positive side of stubbornness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/social-competence\/\">Social competence<\/a> refers to dealing with other people. It is especially important in difficult situations, <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/conflict-capability\/\">capable of conflict<\/a> to be.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The social network pillar includes the interpersonal relationships in which you are involved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beispiele-fur-gesunden-selbstwert\">Examples of healthy self-worth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with strong self-worth are not easily rattled. You can see typical examples in everyday life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When a task is difficult to solve, confident people have good stamina.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When criticized, people with good self-esteem are not offended, but see the constructive side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If something goes wrong, self-confident people don't just look for fault in themselves. Even if they have done something wrong, they don't let it bother them: They learn from it and can laugh at themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With powerful people you can observe an exaggerated self-esteem. These people like to overestimate themselves and let criticism roll off their backs: this behavior is not healthy, and it also stirs up unpleasant feelings in others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beispiele-fur-einen-geringen-selbstwert\">Examples of low self-worth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes low self-esteem is rooted in childhood experiences. Other causes, such as personal losses and failures, also have a negative impact on self-esteem. It gets especially bad when the negative feelings pull you into a vortex. A few example cases show typical triggers and reactions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When something doesn't go right at work, you immediately feel responsible for it. You apologize and have <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/fear\/\">Fear<\/a>, losing the job.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You make a stupid mistake and immediately you are in a bad mood. Nothing works out, you seem to attract everything bad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you don't reach a certain goal within a short time, you give up. You find it difficult to remain confident.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shutterstock_1667439832-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"increase self worth\" class=\"wp-image-35640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shutterstock_1667439832-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shutterstock_1667439832-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shutterstock_1667439832-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shutterstock_1667439832-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/greator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shutterstock_1667439832-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/greator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shutterstock_1667439832-16x9.jpg 16w, https:\/\/greator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shutterstock_1667439832-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kann-ich-selbstwert-lernen\">Can I learn self-worth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A healthy self-worth needs a good breeding ground. Children who receive a lot of love and trust automatically feel strong and can act courageously. But a <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/unhappy\/\">unhappy<\/a> Childhood makes it difficult to think positively about yourself. Fortunately, you can also build up your self-esteem as an adult. Your own positive affirmations make you more self-confident and <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/resistance\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"9\">more resistant<\/a>. When you consciously increase your self-esteem, you protect yourself against <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/resilience\/\">Stress<\/a> and other problems. A few useful tips and exercises will help you escape society's ideas and find your own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-tipps-zur-starkung-des-selbstwerts\">8 tips to strengthen self-esteem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Self-worth is not dependent on your environment. You can strengthen it from within. Ultimately, it's about how you treat your self. It can take a while to achieve a healthy self-assessment. But soon the positive changes will show: The further development is worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mistakes are allowed. Don't be afraid to do something wrong: It can happen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase your well-being. Internally you build yourself up with relaxation exercises, externally you are helped by clothes in which you feel comfortable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meet with <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/find-friends\/\">positive minded people<\/a>. Good friends boost your confidence and enhance your abilities. Avoid dealing with negative, \"toxic\" people who drag you down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comparisons are taboo. They are pointless, because every person is an individual. Constant comparison only strengthens the <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/inferiority-complexes\/\">Inferiority complexes<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work on your posture. Body language reflects your inner attitude, but the effect can be reversed. Experts refer to this as biofeedback. Avoid insecure gestures like tugging your ear or chewing on your lower lip. Stand firmly on both feet and feel your inner confidence grow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Express your own wishes. Your interests and expectations are important: represent them with clarity, even if it takes some effort at the beginning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not take criticism as a personal evaluation. Those who criticize your work do not mean you as a person. Sometimes it is a matter of taste, in other cases you can use criticism constructively.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Celebrate your success. When you are a <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/achieve-goals\/\">Target reached<\/a> be proud of it and reward yourself. Treat yourself to something special and enjoy the good feeling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-praktische-ubungen-fur-mehr-selbstwertgefuhl\">Practical exercises for more self-esteem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In your private and professional life, a lot of things come crashing down on you. Criticism from colleagues, a wave from supposed friends, disrespectful remarks from other people - all of this causes even positive minds to doubt. But your <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/selbstwertgefuehl\/\">Self-esteem<\/a> must not falter under such influences. That's why you can strengthen your self-worth - with exercises that can be easily incorporated into everyday life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take on a responsible job. Jump over your shadow and do a task you normally shy away from. Help your friend put together a shelf or cook something for the family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not hide behind a tired <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/smile\/\">Smile<\/a>but show your mood. When others think you're happy, they expect encouragement from you - but you need the encouragement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Write lists that awaken your positive thoughts. Write down your skills and interests. Record the beautiful moments you experience. On the basis of such lists you will arrive at the positive <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/self-reflection\/\">Self-reflection<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work on your self-assessment: describe your own character. Formulate the negative points positively: You don't give up quickly, but you are cautious. You are not stubborn, but goal-oriented. This exercise also leads you to self-reflection. Especially if you keep your typical problems in mind and want to develop yourself further.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be mindful and attentive. With <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/mindfulness-exercises\/\">Mindfulness exercises<\/a> - for example breathing or yoga - you can cope with bad experiences and difficult phases more easily.

Through meditation you improve your self-perception and thus your self-worth. During the inner contemplation you direct your attention to yourself. In the special state of presence you feel deeply into yourself and perceive your needs. Body and soul come to rest. In this way you succeed in strengthening your self-esteem through meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some situations you could go crazy. You always end up with stressful work, someone criticizes your performance again, no one respects your wishes, the upcoming presentation makes you nervous as hell ... Often the stress has a direct effect on your body. You start to sweat and shake, feel uncomfortable and want to crawl away or scream loudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But with <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/meditation\/\">Meditation<\/a> you specifically address the physical and psychological reactions.

They prevent your self-esteem from slipping into the basement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What I can't change, I don't have to get upset about.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My many skills make me proud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I consciously decide to <a href=\"https:\/\/greator.com\/en\/be-happy\/\">Happiness<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I am the way I am, and that is good.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I treat myself and others with respect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don't have to do anything special to like yourself.
