Recognising your worthiness script 1

Our feelings of being worthy are the result of our thoughts, habits, and actions. But we can change how we see ourselves and others.

When you are aware of your thoughts and behaviors that limit you, it becomes easier to notice that you are worthy in every moment.

Bring your awareness to the words that you have repeated over and over again. Notice the emotions they have evoked.

As you have done in previous exercises, begin by bringing to mind something you appreciate about yourself.

Notice the feelings of warmth and gratitude that arise. With these emotions in mind, open your heart to all that you are, allowing your life to flourish in every moment.

With this practice, you will find that you are more willing to accept yourself and others.

Recognising your worthiness script 2

Do you believe that you are worthy of love? Is there something about you that prevents you from believing this?

We often tell ourselves lies about ourselves that we believe to be true. This can be based on our past or on something we imagine will happen. For example, if you have struggled with depression or anxiety, you may have been taught to believe that you will never recover from it.

This is an example of the mental construct you call “depression.” This is something you believe about yourself.

To begin, notice your thoughts about the past and the future. What are the stories you tell yourself about your worthiness and value in this world?

Notice your thoughts about yourself, noticing both positive and negative thoughts about yourself. Ask yourself, “Is this true? Is this how I truly see myself?”

Notice the feelings that accompany the thoughts and ask, “What is it that I feel when I tell myself these things about myself?”

Bringing these thoughts and feelings into awareness can allow you to let go of them. You can offer kindness to yourself and invite more acceptance and love.

Consider that you do have worthiness, and you are worthy of love.

Ask yourself if you would like to change your beliefs about yourself.

Recognising your worthiness script 3

Being worthy is a state of being that allows you to make choices that benefit yourself, your community, and the world. You are worthy when you live a life in which you can give to yourself, your family, and your community.

In this exercise, you will bring awareness to how you view yourself. The first step is to notice your self-talk and any stories you tell yourself about who you are. Ask yourself, “What do I tell myself about my worth?”

You can write down the thoughts that arise. For example: I am lazy. I am not good enough. I don’t matter.

When you have recorded a few of these thoughts, bring them to mind again and say aloud: I am worthy of happiness, success, and peace of mind.

Bring attention to each thought and repeat the affirmation. Do this until you have recorded ten thoughts.

Close the eyes and imagine the affirmation is true for you. It is not important that you believe the affirmation is true, but it is important that you feel it is true.

Take a few moments to enjoy your feelings of worth. Open your eyes and notice how you feel.

How do you feel about yourself now? Is this a new feeling or do you already feel worthy? If you feel different, you may want to reflect on why this is true.

Ask yourself: Is there something I can do to cultivate this new sense of worth? What can I do to improve my self-esteem?
