Sweetness of Self-worth

If you have read my recent instagram posts or watched my live yesterday, you would know thatI am a big believer in the importance of self worth. 

 (Oh no, Phoebe please don’t make me cringe)

I know, I know, talk of self-worth, esteem and confidence can often lead to a lot of eye rolls (trust me I’ve been there).

Because let’e be honest…Whether you are  comparing yourself to others or you’ve had mean comments said about you, sometimes all you want to do is be sad and not get to the deeper root of your self-esteem and self-worth!

 P.S I’m not trying to undermine being sad because crying and reflecting on your emotions is a good thing, healthy even! However,  life has a tendency to throw us some nasty obstacles that can affect our self-worth and confidence. 

Making it so important that you build a foundation of self-worth, because you may not know this yet, but your worth is beyond what you could ever imagine!

(This is in quote marks so you understand how important it is :))

So…how does this relate to autism?

Well,  as we know people on the spectrum  struggle with understanding the emotions of others as well as their own emotions 

 This makes  it difficult to grow their character, thus understand what their values  and worth is. 

Although this is  tough, and your self-esteem may take a hit, a good support system  can help you understand just how worthy you are! 

  For me this has always been my faith, because coming to understand myself as a daughter of Christ has been the biggest identity comfort of all!

Of course having an amazing family and group of friends helps that too 🙂

Travelling with my family in New Zealand had to be one of the most amazing experiences of understanding self-worth (I mean look at that view)

So, whoever in your life is the most trusted to answer the big questions on self-worth, please talk to them!

 Because let’e be honest, whether you are on the spectrum or not,  we all struggle with low self-worth at some point. Making  it important that we support and be kind to one another!

 However,it can be seriously hard to remember your self-worth and to be kind   after a rude comment is said , a bad break up, or watching your friends sell themselves short. 

(GOSH! Being an awesome person is so hard!…I know girl I know)

  But remember when someone isn’t nice, and you smile and walk away, who looks better?

 YOU DO!

Plus it shows just how worthy and amazing you are, which is why you should always show kindness even if it’s the last thing you want to do!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this more factual blog post, and remember that no matter what people have said about you. They don’t know what you have gone through to behave in a certain way, so be kind and be non-judgemental always :)!

Lots of love and kisses to you are,
