The Law of the Mirror<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What’s the Law of the Mirror? John Maxwell contends that you must see value in yourself before you can add to that value. Self-worth is the belief that you’re both worthy and capable of reaching your potential<\/a>. If you don’t believe that you can<\/em> grow or that you’re worthy<\/em> of growth, you’re unlikely to grow. It’s as simple as that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Maxwell says that you need self-worth before<\/em> growth. But, for most people, self-worth is a lifelong project. You\u2019ll always be discovering new things about yourself\u2014which is why it\u2019s not uncommon to shift to a new career when your values change<\/a>. And, for some people, self-worth can be a long journey: Research suggests that self-esteem, which is one component of self-worth, waxes and wanes over the course of a lifetime.<\/a> Since self-worth fluctuates so much, there\u2019s no \u201cright amount\u201d to have before beginning your growth journey\u2014you need only to see value in yourself well enough to get started.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Self-Worth Helps You Grow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Maxwell, self-worth empowers you to achieve your goals\u2014it helps you know your worth, motivating you to invest in yourself<\/a>. You\u2019ll see the value in opportunities to better yourself, and you\u2019ll be more inclined to go after them. Self-worth also naturally translates into self-confidence, which helps you overcome self-doubt<\/a> and see your opportunities through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Maxwell\u2019s suggestion\u2014to work from a place of self-worth\u2014runs contrary to what many people do\u2014use their self-loathing as motivation to change<\/a> what they don\u2019t like about themselves. Research suggests that Maxwell\u2019s method is more effective: Self-criticism can hold you back from making progress toward your goals<\/a>. Psychologists also say that self-bullying has a negative impact on your mental health,<\/a> so it\u2019s more effective to be kind to yourself<\/a> when trying to achieve goals.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Cultivate Self-Worth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve covered why <\/em>self-worth is essential<\/em> to personal growth, as it’s responsible for your ability to create and pursue achievable goals<\/a>. Now, let\u2019s explore how<\/em> you can cultivate this skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you struggle to know your worth or to feel confident in yourself, Maxwell recommends the following practices for bolstering self-worth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Take pride in your character and previous achievements.<\/strong> If you\u2019ve made any good choices or a positive impact in someone else\u2019s life, even in small ways, congratulate yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: One way to celebrate your character and achievements is to reward yourself with something you enjoy, like an at-home spa day or a delicious treat. According to psychologists, rewarding yourself links desired behaviors with an increase in dopamine<\/a>\u2014a \u201cfeel-good\u201d neurotransmitter that your brain releases when you do something pleasurable. Over time, you\u2019ll associate desired behaviors with dopamine release, which encourages you to continue these behaviors in the future<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Practice positive self-talk<\/a>.<\/strong> Let go of limiting beliefs, such as the belief that you\u2019re not smart enough to achieve your dreams<\/a>, and tell yourself that you can do what you set your mind to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Limiting beliefs are those that tell you that you can\u2019t <\/em>do something you want or need to do because you\u2019re not good enough, smart enough, lovable enough, and so on. One way to dispel limiting beliefs is to challenge them<\/a>\u2014that is, reason out why these beliefs are probably untrue. For example, if you formed the limiting belief that you don\u2019t deserve romantic love, you might explore reasons that you are <\/em>deserving of love, starting with a list of things that are lovable about you. Once you work through and reject these limiting beliefs, it\u2019s easier to say\u2014and believe\u2014positive things about yourself.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
