Have you noticed that when you think of something as a “should” it feels like a burden?
“Should” is the voice of obligation, a burdensome whisper of duties imposed by yourself and society. When you operate on “should,” you’re often following external pressures or internal expectations, not personal desire or intrinsic motivation. This discrepancy can lead to a lack of fulfillment because your actions do not fully align with your values or aspirations.
Yet, you can shift the burden of “should” by simply choosing to think of something as a “want” instead. “Want” sings the tune of desire and free will, offering a more authentic path to fulfillment. When you act on “want,” you tap into your core desires and passions, which can fuel greater satisfaction and joy in your endeavors.
Choosing to shift from ”should” to “want” isn’t whimsical advice; it is backed by science that shows it can lead to a more fulfilled life. Research has demonstrated that positive language and the articulation of desire have tangible effects on the brain. For example, framing goals and aspirations in terms of “want” has been linked to increased activation in brain regions associated with reward and motivation.
“Should” and “want” are mindsets that drive your daily actions and shape your life. Therefore, although simple, the journey from ”should” to “want” may not be easy. It requires introspection, an understanding of your true desires, and often a confrontation with the fears and beliefs that create limits. By recognizing the challenges and learning practices to apply this mindset, you can create a more “want”-filled and full-filled life.
Challenges in Making The Shift From “Should” to “Want”
Societal Pressures and Expectations
Society’s narratives of success can often dictate your “shoulds,” pressuring you to pursue a career or lifestyle that resonates more with collective ideals than with your genuine passions. This dissonance creates a disconnect between your actions and your authentic self, which can foster dissatisfaction and stress. To truly embrace “want,” you must be willing to challenge societal norms and forge your own path.
Doubts
Consistency is key in any transformation, yet doubts can derail progress. When faced with challenges or setbacks, it can be easy to revert to “should” as it provides a safe harbor of familiarity. Staying the course requires a steadfast commitment to your desires, especially in the face of adversity. This journey is not about never doubting, it’s about persisting despite your doubts.
How to Make The Shift
Identify Your “Shoulds”
The first step in transitioning from “should” to “want” is identifying the “shoulds” that govern your life. These are often entrenched in your psyche, masquerading as undeniable truths. They can stem from various sources: parental expectations, cultural norms, or even self-imposed ideals based on comparison with others. To identify them, reflect on the times you’ve felt obliged to act against your interest or joy.
Foster “Want”
Begin by cultivating self-awareness. Listen to your internal dialogue. What excites you? What are you curious about? Start small, integrating activities into your routine that align more closely with your interests. Next, practice reframing your thoughts. Transform thoughts like “I should work out” into “I want to feel strong and healthy.” Over time, these techniques can shift your mindset and align your actions more closely with your true desires.
Practical Applications
In the Workplace
In the workplace, this shift can transform your professional life. Start by identifying tasks you feel you “should” do versus those you “want” to do. Gradually, take action to delegate, minimize, alter, or reframe the “should” tasks. Consciously seek out projects that ignite a “want.” As you increase job satisfaction and productivity, your work begins to resonate more with your values and interests.
At Home and In Family
At home and in family life, “want” can lead to more harmonious relationships and greater personal satisfaction. Instead of a mindset of “I should spend time with family,” focus on “I want to create meaningful moments with my loved ones.” This perspective can alleviate feelings of guilt and obligation, allowing for more genuine and fulfilling interactions.
Personal Development and Self-care
By shifting to a “want” mentality, you embrace a more compassionate approach to self-improvement. Rather than punishing yourself with “shoulds” about diet, exercise, or learning, focus on what you “want” to achieve for your well-being. This approach can lead to more sustainable habits and a kinder relationship with yourself.
Turning “should” into “want” is more than a simple change in your vocabulary; it’s a choice that can open the door to greater fulfillment. Because, at its essence, a “want”-filled life is a full-filled life.
By aligning your actions with your desires, you choose the path that leads to an authentic and more enjoyable life.

How is self-realization essential for personal growth, fulfillment, and boundless joy?
As mentioned in my past writings, self-realization is the connection with your true essence to more clearly see your unlimited potential. The concept of “self-realization” may sound esoteric as if it is reserved for sages or gurus. True, it stems from ancient Eastern religions and yogic philosophy, yet it is also referenced in psychological theories and other spiritual schools of thought. Every individual, regardless of culture or background, can tap into this source of understanding and wisdom.
Self-realization is a process of fully perceiving your unique personality, thus it’s a deeply personal journey. As you come into greater alignment with your true self, you’re able to experience levels of peace and contentment that previously eluded you. You’ll also find doors open to opportunities and benefits that substantially impact your day-to-day life.
Only when you connect with your authentic self—which lies beyond social constructs, fleeting emotions, and thoughts that take control over your life—will you be able to get off the hamster wheel and let go of the frenetic pursuit of becoming more. Your choice to be fully aware of your thoughts, emotions, and actions opens the door to inner peace, balance, and harmony.
Self-realization removes the layers, the masks, and the illusions that prevent you from seeing your true nature, which is the highest version of yourself. It leads to alignment with your core values, truest desires, and higher purpose, therefore it’s essential for personal growth, fulfillment, and boundless joy.
10 Ways Self-Realization Can Transform Your Life
Inner Peace
As you understand and embrace your true self, the perpetual search for external validation diminishes. Acceptance enables you to be less reactive when circumstances are out of your control and more grounded in your response to life. There’s a sense of completeness. This leads to inner peace.
Mental Adaptability
Self-realization provides greater self-awareness. Having an understanding of your intrinsic nature better equips you to handle stress, anxiety, and depression. As you embrace your authentic self, you better respond to life and become more mentally adaptable.
Physical Well-being
Mind and body are intertwined. When you’re at peace with yourself, it reflects on your physical health. Less stress means a reduced risk of stress-induced ailments. For example, digestive issues or exhaustion from lack of sleep can stem from stress and have grave effects on your health. A mind at peace is a body at peace.
Genuine Relationships
As you accept yourself at a deeper level, your current relationships either transform or drop off. You also attract others who resonate with your authentic self and align with your true values. This leads to more genuine connections and deeper bonds.
Greater Clarity
Self-realization clears the fog of confusion. It allows you to see things as they are, free from biases and illusions. With this clarity, decision-making becomes simpler and more effective.
Stronger Resilience
As self-realization leads to the awareness of your true nature, you’re better able to activate a deep reservoir of strength. This resilience can help you handle setbacks and maintain your equilibrium during the most challenging times.
Profound Insight
When you tap into your core, you access a source of wisdom that offers insight beyond ordinary understanding. This can expand your perspective of available possibilities and lead to opportunities beyond your imagination.
Macrocosmic Connection
Recognizing your authentic self makes you more empathetic and aware. You begin to see the overall interconnectedness of all beings and experience a deeper relatedness with your community and the world.
Spiritual Evolution
Self-realization is a significant step in spiritual growth. By understanding and aligning with your true nature, you embark on a path of spiritual evolution, deepening your connection with the universe as a whole.
Meaningful Life Purpose
With the discovery of your true self comes purpose and meaning. Your actions begin to align with your core beliefs, which leads to greater passion and purpose.
The path to self-realization is as unique as each individual, and its rewards are universal. It’s a journey that offers a deeper understanding of yourself and others, providing the foundation for a more peaceful, purposeful, and profoundly joyful life.
Whether you’re seeking self-realization through meditation, introspection, journaling, or other practices, the path to finding and embracing your true self is transformative.
Self-Fulfillment, Spirituality
A spiritual awakening can lead to a great sense of peace, joy, and fulfillment. However, initially, you may find discomfort in your new perception of reality.
In my previous article, Awaken Your Potential: The Evolving Stages of a Spiritual Awakening, I spoke about how spiritual awakenings are often preceded by life-changing events. Pivotal life moments, such as a sudden loss, a serious illness, a divorce, or a career change, can elicit a shift in your perspective and launch you on a spiritual path.
As your journey unfolds, the feelings and sensations that come forth can be unfamiliar and even unnerving at times. You may notice an evolving sense of self and heightened emotions. If you don’t recognize such changes as symptoms of a spiritual journey, it can be unsettling.
To navigate your ongoing journey, it is helpful to understand that the stages of spiritual awakening are evolving and not linear; there will be periods of ebb and flow. In order to receive the full benefits of your journey, it’s valuable to honor and nurture your emotions, sensations, and introspective impressions.
Understanding Your Spiritual Awakening
Emotional Responses
Post-awakening, it can be common to experience a surge of heightened emotions. As your journey continues, you might find yourself oscillating between moments of profound joy and deep sorrow. It’s important to embrace the highs and navigate the lows with grace and understanding.
Heightened sensitivity is a blessing that you can use as a tool to navigate your journey towards enlightenment. Here are some of the emotions you may experience:
Profound Joy: You might feel profound joy as you see the world in a new light, realizing deeper connections and greater passion. This newfound perspective can make you feel more alive and aligned with your purpose, which allows even the smallest of moments to produce unimagined joy.
Deep Sorrow: The process of awakening often brings deep sorrow, since it might mean coming to terms with past traumas, injustices, or personal losses. You may also feel grief over what might have been, or have difficulty adjusting to changes happening externally and internally in your life.
Excitement: As you develop heightened intuition, you may experience excitement about the synchronicities and signs that guide you. It could feel like the universe is communicating with you in a more direct way, and you become eager to see where this path leads.
Confusion: You might feel confusion as a result of the whirlwind of emotions and energies you’re tuning into. It could even be challenging to distinguish your feelings from those of people around you, making it necessary to navigate a new depth of empathy.
Fear: Awakening can bring fear of stepping into the unknown or letting go of old beliefs and structures that no longer serve you. You might be afraid of what you’ll discover about yourself or the world.
Peace: Amidst the chaos, there can be moments of peace, where you feel deeply connected to your inner self and the universe. This comes from understanding and accepting the natural flow of life, with its ups and downs.
Compassion: Your heightened sensitivity tends to foster increased compassion, as you become more attuned to the feelings and struggles of others. You may find yourself understanding and empathizing with people on a deeper level, with a greater desire to help and uplift others.
Handling Your Emotions
Embrace your heightened emotions instead of shying away from them. These feelings are signals of growth and indicate that you are tuning in to your inner self. During your awakening, it’s important to give yourself space to experience the emotions fully. Simple practices like mindful meditation, deep breathing, or even taking a walk in nature can help you connect with these deeper aspects of yourself.
It’s also vital to give yourself the grace to evolve, to learn, and to adapt. Engaging in meaningful conversations, reading enriching literature, and becoming a part of a supportive community can provide nourishment for your evolving soul.
A New Sense of Self
The journey of spiritual growth is continuous, filled with moments of lucidity or confusion. As you embrace these intrinsic aspects of your journey, you’ll experience an overall sense of clarity and see things you may have overlooked before. This includes a new sense of self.
Since this version of you is new, it might come as a surprise when you handle situations differently. Instead of reacting as your ego did in the past, you pause to consider how you will choose to respond. At times, this might be surprising. Yet, keep in mind that a spiritual journey tends to be fueled by faith. Accordingly, positive responses could authentically be the most likely outcomes of your new sense of self.
The Gifts Of A Spiritual Awakening
As you become more receptive to the voice within, you learn how to trust your intuition. This enhanced intuition becomes your guiding force, allowing you to see things from a new point of view, understand situations better, and discover greater fulfillment and passion.
Material pursuits often fade in importance. Instead, your emphasis will be on personal development, enriching experiences, and meaningful relationships. A heightened awareness of energy vibrations can lead to distancing yourself from relationships that don’t serve you, while making new connections that support your evolving self.
Your ability to more intensely feel your emotions, along with the energy of others, is a true gift of your spiritual awakening. Embrace the highs and lows with an open heart. Trust that the universe is guiding you towards the most benevolent outcome for your highest potential.

“Resting in Awareness, we transform all the ‘stuff’ of our lives.” ~ Ram Dass
What is self-awareness? And why is it important?
Briefly, self-awareness is the ability to recognize your emotional shifts, pinpoint your triggers, and view situations from another person’s perspective. A benefit of being conscious of your emotions and triggers is that it’s the first step in being able to regulate them, thus allowing you to respond more intentionally in the future. The advantage of seeing things from another person’s point of view is reduced conflict and more meaningful relationships.
According to New York Times best-selling author and leadership guru Tasha Eurich, 95 percent of people believe they are self-aware, but only 10–15% of people actually possess this skill. This means that they do not know who they are, how others perceive them, or the bigger role they are meant to fulfill in the world. Thankfully, self-awareness is a skill that can be developed.
There are two main types of self-awareness: internal and external. Both are essential for transforming your unwanted habits, routines, impulses, and reactions to more desirable behaviors. Internal self-awareness is the cognizance of your values, thoughts, and emotions. External self-awareness is the understanding of how you’re viewed by others.
Self-awareness, both internal and external, is foundational for revealing your full potential. When you can embody self-awareness, you have a more holistic understanding of yourself and how you fit in the world.
Types of Self-Awareness
Internal Self-Awareness
Internal self-awareness refers to an inner understanding of your values, thoughts, passions, motivations, needs, emotional triggers, behaviors, and affect on others. If your internal self-awareness is high, then you tend to make choices that are in alignment with who you truly are. This means that you’ll enjoy a more fulfilling life. On the other hand, if your internal self-awareness is low, you may choose actions that result in undesirable outcomes. For example, enduring an incompatible job or relationship because you’re unsure of what you really want.
External Self-Awareness
External self-awareness concerns your consciousness around how others perceive you. When your external self-awareness is high, you can accurately see yourself from the point of view of another person. This enables you to build more solid and fulfilling relationships. However, if your external self-awareness is low, there can be a disconnect between how you think you come across to others and how you are actually seen. For example, your colleagues might misconstrue your stress-induced assertiveness as intimidation.
Reveal Your Greatest Potential
Having insight into the types of self-awareness—internal and external—helps unlock the door to a deeper understanding of yourself and can reveal your greatest potential. This can powerfully transform your personal and professional development journey.
Encourage Internal Self-Awareness
Activating your internal self-awareness allows you to better manage yourself. This can lead to better outcomes and increased opportunities.
Introspection is a great way to uncover new gifts and passions. These discoveries may direct you to more significant challenges and opportunities, such as a more fulfilling career path. Introspection assists you in recognizing unwanted emotional patterns and managing your responses more effectively. This can help turn potential conflicts into opportunities for understanding and collaboration.
To encourage internal self-awareness, turn to introspective practices like mindfulness, meditation, or journaling. As you consistently tune into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment, you’ll discover patterns and illuminate insights that can transform your evolutionary experience.
Cultivate External Self-Awareness
External self-awareness complements your internal understanding by offering insights into how you’re perceived by others. This awareness can reveal blind spots in your self-perception and lead to valuable personal and professional growth.
Actively seeking feedback and being open to critique is essential for cultivating external self-awareness. For instance, you may think of yourself as a competent communicator, but feedback from colleagues might disclose that you have a tendency to monopolize conversations or disregard differing viewpoints. Such constructive input can point out areas of improvement and potential, which will effectively facilitate growth in your interpersonal and professional skills.
Together, internal and external self-awareness can “transform all the ‘stuff’ of” your life to reveal your greatest potential. Internal self-awareness allows you to align your actions with your values and passions, while external self-awareness helps ensure your adaptability to thrive in almost any situation.
Finding a balance of internal and external self-awareness will ideally allow you to see yourself as others perceive you. Those who master this skill are more creative, confident, successful, and fulfilled. They enjoy better relationships, garner greater respect, and are more effective and higher earning leaders.

Is there an area of your life where you feel unempowered or unfulfilled?
Perhaps your relationships are suffering because you’re buried in work. Or maybe you’ve lost interest in your career yet are hesitant to pursue what you’re truly passionate about.
Here’s the thing—you have the power to consciously create your reality and embrace a life that brings you unimaginable joy.
What does it mean to consciously create your reality?
It refers to your unlimited potential to deliberately and intentionally manifest the life of your dreams. And at the heart of every dream life lies a defined sense of self-worth. Research has established that how you feel about yourself impacts your experiences, choices, and relationships. Nurturing your self-worth strengthens your belief in your gifts, abilities, and talents. It also bolsters your openness to the infinite possibilities and opportunities at hand for shaping your circumstances.
As you embrace the power within, your thoughts, feelings, and actions come into alignment with your values, passions, and purpose. This creates a resonating vibration that sets the stage for you to attract and manifest your dreams into reality.
To fully leverage your power of manifestation, it’s valuable to understand how your self-worth plays a role. In addition, see how you can strengthen your self-worth to create your desired reality.
The Role Of Self-Worth In Manifestation
Law of Attraction
The basic concept behind the Law of Attraction is that your energetic frequency – or vibration – attracts your reality. Simply stated, energetic similarities magnetize. The energy you project through your thoughts and emotions emits a specific frequency into the universe. As a response, the universe orchestrates conditions that mirror this energetic frequency, affirming the principle of “like attracts like”. For instance, when you feel worthy of a joyful life, you attract circumstances that bring joy.
Cognitive-Behavioral Theory
This psychological theory highlights the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By altering your thought patterns, you can change how you feel and behave. When you cultivate a strong sense of self-worth, your thoughts and feelings can align with behaviors that are more likely to result in desired outcomes.
Mindfulness and Meditation
Mindfulness and meditation can encourage your awareness of the present moment and gratitude for your blessings. Being fully present with the reality of “what is” broadens your capacity to acknowledge and accept your thoughts and feelings without judgment, thus boosting your self-worth. This can increase your energetic vibration so it’s more conducive to manifesting your desires.
Visualization and Affirmations
Visualization is seeing your desired reality in your mind’s eye while experiencing it with all your senses as if it is happening right now. Affirmations are positive statements you say about yourself in the present tense while feeling the emotion within. Both these practices, when done consistently, can reinforce self-worth and help attract your desired outcomes.
Strengthen Self-Worth To Create Your Desired Reality
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is the first step in strengthening self-worth. It involves being still and going inward to fully experience and recognize your thoughts, emotions, and perceived strengths and weaknesses. Through self-awareness, you can gain clarity about any limiting beliefs that undermine your self-worth and impede your ability to manifest your desired reality.
Identify Desired Changes
Once you cultivate greater self-awareness, pinpoint the changes you wish to see in your life. This involves setting clear and realistic goals that align with your values, passions, and purpose.
Alter Thought Patterns
You have the innate ability to alter unwelcome thought patterns and replace them with desirable ones. If you find this challenging, look into Accelerated Evolution (AE), a cutting-edge modality that eliminates almost ANY non-serving belief fast, fully, and permanently.
AE is a synthesis of the most highly effective methods from modern therapy, cognitive research, human potential, and perennial wisdom. This powerful transformational methodology removes your inner resistance in the moment to dissolve your emotional and mental blocks, make peace with your past, clear the path to easily attain your goals, and create more freedom than ever experienced before.
Visualization and Affirmations
As previously mentioned, these practices can solidify your self-worth and accelerate the manifestation process. The key is to make them part of your daily routine and embody your experience in the present moment.
Take Action
Manifesting your desired reality is not merely about thinking and feeling; it involves taking concrete steps towards your goals. When guided by a strong sense of self-worth, your actions will unfold with confidence and ease.
Patience, Consistency, and Support
Understand that the process takes time. Patience and consistency are key to maintaining the right mindset and a supportive partner can help you persevere through challenges. Strengthening your self-worth helps sustain you on the journey, even when things seem unclear.

“Over the years, I’ve interviewed thousands of people, most of them women, and I would say that the root of every dysfunction I’ve ever encountered, every problem, has been some sense of a lacking of self-value or of self-worth.” ~ Oprah Winfrey
Self-worth refers to the value, significance, and inherent sense of worth that you attribute to yourself. It is often confused with self-esteem, which is your overall evaluation and opinion of yourself. The difference between the two is that your self-worth is defined independent of external factors such as achievements, possessions, or social status, whereas self-esteem can be influenced by external factors, such as success or failure in specific areas of life. In other words, self-worth is more about recognizing and acknowledging your intrinsic value as a human being.
Your sense of self-worth influences your thoughts, emotions, and actions, therefore playing a significant role in your well-being, resilience, and overall satisfaction in life. It empowers you to set healthy boundaries, strive for your dreams, and navigate life’s challenges with grace and confidence.
You may be aware that your perceived value is strong in certain areas of your life, yet suffers in other areas. A balanced sense of self-worth requires constant nurturing and reinforcement, which includes self-reflection, self-acceptance, and the cultivation of self-care habits. The key is to intentionally engage in daily sacred acts that hold meaning and contribute to your well-being. From the moment you wake up until you retreat to bed, these acts set the tone for your day and reinforce a well-rounded sense of value.
These regular practices also allow you to forge a deeper connection with your true self, including your abilities, strengths, and potential to expand beyond your current level of success. Cultivating such practices equips you with greater insight for navigating through the many adventures that life brings. With heightened insight comes greater self-worth, joy, and ease on your journey.
10 Practices for Boosting Self-Worth
Meditation or Quiet Contemplation
Regular meditation or any other version of silent contemplation, cultivates a heightened self-awareness, promoting introspection and personal growth. Fostering inner peace strengthens your understanding and acceptance of yourself. This, in turn, reinforces your self-worth by reminding you of your inherent value irrespective of external circumstances.
Self-Reflection and Journaling
Reflection on your experiences and emotions forms a more balanced perspective of who you are. It allows you to unpack your thoughts, feelings, and actions, so you can understand and accept yourself more deeply. Nourishing a harmonious relationship with your inner self also promotes a stronger, more balanced sense of self-worth, providing a steady platform for personal growth.
Mindful Morning Routine
Start your day with intention. Mindfulness brings your attention to the present and reminds you of the value of each moment. A mindful morning routine could include simple tasks, such as making your bed, preparing a healthy breakfast, or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee. When you’re fully present to the value of what is, you can more deeply connect with and appreciate your own worth.
Positive Affirmations
Recite empowering statements that remind you of your worth. As you do this, it’s essential for you to feel the emotion attached to each statement. Positive affirmations, specifically spoken in the present tense, can enhance your sense of self-worth and combat negative thoughts. Here are a few examples of affirmations that can enable you to approach adversity with a stronger, more positive mindset: “I am valued for exactly who I am”, “I am full of energy and optimism”, and “I am worthy of love and respect”.
Exercise and Physical Well-being
Consider incorporating exercise as a daily practice. It can provide a greater sense of balance and worthiness in all aspects of your being. Regular physical activity boosts endorphins, leading to a positive body image and improved mood. It also fosters discipline and resilience, key components of self-worth.
Practicing Gratitude
When you take time to reflect on what you’re thankful for, it naturally cultivates a positive mindset and a greater sense of fulfillment. By expressing gratitude for your successes, no matter how small, you’ll experience an uplifting shift in perspective. This enhanced mindset boosts your overall self-worth.
Nurturing Social Connections
Social interactions bring balance to life. Prioritize cultivating affirmative relationships. If any relationship causes you to feel undervalued, speak up or find new connections with those who encourage you. Engaging with friends, family, and community fosters a sense of belonging and can boost your self-worth.
Setting and Achieving Small Goals
If your worthiness suffers in any area – love, career, or lifestyle – start with a small goal to build your sense of worth. By completing a manageable task, you give yourself a quick win, bolstering your confidence and establishing a pattern of success. Each accomplished goal reinforces your belief in your capacity, enhancing your overall sense of self-worth.
Engaging in Creative Activities
Whether painting, cooking, writing, or gardening, creative expression allows you to explore new passions and skills that can help build your self-worth. Creativity also helps unravel existing regimens that cause imbalance. Discovering new aptitudes expands your sense of worth and balances your overall lifestyle.
Continuous Learning
When you acquire new skills or knowledge, you challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone and grow. This not only builds confidence, it broadens your worldview. Every skill mastered or piece of knowledge gained is a testament to your abilities and increases your potential for greater life balance and enhanced self-worth.
Tips for Creating Your Personalized Practice
Remember that there is no one-size-fits-all way to do anything. So, tailor your practice to reflect your unique lifestyle, values, and goals. First, consider how the practices above might fit into your day. Would morning meditation help you center yourself before the workday begins? Could setting small, achievable goals provide a desired confidence boost? Consider your unique needs and circumstances as you explore these practices. Then integrate what works for you into your day.
Remember that consistency is key. It may be tempting to overhaul your entire routine at once, but it’s more effective to introduce new practices gradually. Start with one or two new practices, be consistent, and notice the impact they have on your self-worth.
Embrace flexibility. Life is unpredictable, and it’s okay if your routine changes as your needs and circumstances evolve. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s cultivating daily practices that enhance your sense of self-worth and improve your overall well-being.
Finally, be patient and compassionate with yourself. Building self-worth is a journey, not a destination. Celebrate your progress, and remember that every small step you take towards nurturing your self-worth is an act of self-love.
Wishing you enhanced balance and success in your life!
