Positive Thought Forms: Beliefs Concerning Self-Worth

By Robert Elias Najemy

We have been programmed by childhood experiences to doubt our self-worth and identify it with superficial aspects of our being. The following affirmations will be useful for reestablishing contact with our true –and-always-worthy-of-love-and-respect divine nature.

1. I am worthy of love and respect regardless of others’ opinions or behavior.

2. My self worth is totally independent of how I compare to others.

3. My self worth is totally independent of any external factors such as: intelligence, wealth, appearance, talents, professional success, my children’s success, my home, being attractive to the opposite sex, making friends, disciplines, "spiritual" activities. 4. I am worthy of love and respect regardless of the results of my efforts. 5. I am worthy and lovable even when others are being given more attention. I am happy for others when they receive love and attention. 6. My self-worth is within me and totally independent of whether I am loved exclusively by someone one or not. 7. I am worthy of love and respect even when I am not perfect in what I do and even when I make mistakes.
