Self-worth is defined as your internal sense of being good enough and worthy of love and belonging from others. It is at the core of who you are as a person. Self-worth grows out of self-understanding, self-love, and self-acceptance and it directly affects how you relate to others and the world around you. It helps you feel comfortable in your own skin and prioritize yourself and your needs. Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are intimately tied to how you view your worthiness and value as a human being.

Authenticity is a way of being that reflects our true self. It happens when we are living a life that is congruent with our actions, values, and beliefs.

Realizing and accepting the fact that authenticity is difficult might be the first step in helping us move past whatever might be stopping us from being real.

Being authentic is challenging as we worry about being liked, but it reflects our true self and accepting this difficulty can help us be genuine.

The English language only has one word for love, which can make it tricky to know exactly what it means. Even so, research suggests there are multiple colors of love. Think for a moment about the type of partner you are in a relationship with - are you a selfless lover, fully giving yourself to your partner, asking for little in return? Or are you more of a jealous lover who is constantly worried that your partner might cheat on you or hurt you in some way? What makes a relationship work is understanding and acknowledgment of what type of lover you are. Communicating your needs with a partner can make your relationship stronger and more resilient in the face of misunderstandings.

Starting at a very young age, we all learn about love, slowly gathering information about how we want to give and receive it. In some ways, it’s like learning a primary speaking language. This process develops gradually and takes time. Interestingly, we often show love to others in ways that we would personally most like to receive it. Learning more about how we express love can strengthen our relationships. It can also help us connect with others in deeper and more significant ways.
