Who are you without your achievements? Without your possessions? Without the perceived value you believe you bring to your relationships? The answer to this will point you directly towards your current level of self worth.

It’s common for us to spend our days being productive as a way of justifying our self worth. If our value depends on our productivity, we’ll never truly feel valued. We’ll forever be chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Like many others, my worth was tied into what I DO. It was reinforced through my accomplishments, hard work and level of productivity. I soon realized that regardless of how hard I worked, or how productive I was, I wasn’t truly satisfied, and continued hustling in the hopes that I would feel worthy. It was the most familiar path and I was taught from a very young age to immerse myself in working in an effort to feel good and be deemed as worthy. If I took a break, I would feel guilty, and I only gave myself permission to rest once I had worked myself to the bone. So, what was I seeking?

I realized I was looking to experience my true value from an internal measure, not from outside of myself. I was looking for a level of self-acceptance, and self-compassion that was rooted in something deeper than my achievements. I was searching for unconditional love. A kind of love where my value as a human being wasn’t based on what I could do for this planet, or for other people, but was based on something simpler, something more profound: the fact that I exist.

Self-worth is a light that we all possess. We are extensions of source energy, and of the universe, so our worth has been present within us since the day we were born. It didn’t go anywhere. We can’t add to it, or subtract from it. All we can do from here is to learn to access it. We didn’t need to do anything to prove or justify ourselves as babies, and we don’t need to prove or justify ourselves as adults.

Being here, existing is enough.

Our worthiness doesn’t reside in doing; it lies within our very being. It’s unchanging, unwavering, and eternal. So far, we’ve done a stellar job of convincing ourselves of the former and as women we continue to hustle for our worthiness. Worthiness doesn’t lie on the other side of your accomplishments. It lies beneath your accomplishments and beneath what you can do for yourself or another.

So how do we connect with our inherent worth and start to see it as separate from our accomplishments?

For me, this realisation happened in gradual shifts, once I started to lay down the foundations.

There are 6 key principles that I utilize every day to connect with my inherent worth. These principles are all rooted in self worth, and allow us to experience our value based on our own internal measure.

Once I rooted myself in these principals, put small practices in place to stimulate and reconnect with my worth, I felt a significant shift.

• Pleasure, play and rest became an acceptable part of my day, and integral to my idea of ‘success’.

• I felt more freedom and lightness in my being, knowing that I had nothing to prove to anyone.

• I felt more comfortable with my emotions and increased my capacity to be with discomfort.

• I started to ask for what I want with more ease and express myself more freely.

• I stopped seeking external validation.

• And most important of all, I tapped into the steady and unflinching light within that showed me how worthy I am and always have been, and with this came a further commitment to myself to continue these practices.

Connecting with this light within, a light we all possess, was the single most satisfying and fulfilling feeling I had ever experienced.

Self love was always available to me, 24/7. I only had to uncover my limitations to seeing this truth.

I’ve created a 2 hour workshop to share these 6 magic principles with you, and help you connect to your inherent worth. This workshop is designed with the utmost care and consideration because I know how impactful, life changing and downright transformational this work is.
