Ep 109 - Self esteem comes from external validation, whether it be from what you see in the mirror, the things you have accumulated, or from another person telling you how they feel about something you have done or accomplished for yourself or them.

Self-worth is valuing yourself through yourself. When you realize you have value and that you matter, to yourself above all others, then you are in control of your mind, your results, and your self-worth.

Are you seeking external validation when internal validation is what will actually lift you up into the empowered state we all seek in sobriety and addiction recovery? 

You have worth. You matter. What do you value in yourself? What matters to you? Are you feeding that part of yourself each and everyday. Put the oxygen mask on yourself or you won't be able to help others.

You matter. You have value. I can externally remind you of this but I can not help you internalize it and believe it. That comes from your own self-work on yourself. You create and build your self-worth - I can instigate but you have to do the work yourself.

It is possible because you have already started doing it - now let's do it with focused intention of attention.
