According to Obama, basing your worth on your unique personhood separates it from your appearance, status, or success.<strong> <\/strong>It emphasizes that you deserve to be loved and celebrated simply because you\u2019re a unique individual who can\u2019t be replaced. This realization makes you happier and more confident, improving your mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Rooting your self-worth in your existence rather than your appearance, status, or accomplishments<em> <\/em>is an example of showing yourself unconditional love. Unconditional love is usually associated with interpersonal relationships, but it\u2019s also important for individual mental health, as it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtor.org\/2018\/04\/24\/love-yourself\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increases happiness, life satisfaction, and resiliency<\/a>. Unconditional love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/relationships\/unconditional-love#building-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">requires respect, open communication, and support<\/a>. Thus, avoid disparaging self-talk, take time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-understand-your-feelings\/\">understand your feelings<\/a>, and treat yourself kindly. Ask yourself, \u201cWould I treat my loved one like this?\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In contrast, focusing on imperfections hurts your self-esteem.<\/strong> It makes you self-conscious, magnifying the flaws in your mind until you can\u2019t recognize your inherent worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-prioritize-personhood\"><strong>How to Prioritize Personhood<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have negative thoughts about yourself, <strong>replace them with an acknowledgment of your inherent worth as an individual<\/strong>, Obama says. After reinforcing your self-worth, you can address any issues you experience, secure in the knowledge that you\u2019re more than your flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Prioritize Personhood by Fostering a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/positive-self-image\/\">Positive Self-Image<\/a><\/strong><br><br>Many people prioritize criticism over personhood, leading to low self-esteem (as Obama warns). In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/psycho-cybernetics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Psycho-Cybernetics<\/em><\/a>, Maxwell Maltz says this is due to their self-image: <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/psycho-cybernetics#what-is-your-self-image\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the way they let their past experiences affect their identity<\/a>. Someone who fails a test and says \u201cI\u2019m a failure\u201d applies that experience to their identity, while someone who says \u201cI failed that test\u201d attributes the experience to a specific incident. When people let negative events affect their identity, <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/psycho-cybernetics#your-self-image-impacts-your-behavior\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">they behave in ways that reinforce this new, negative identity<\/a>. The person who failed a test might not study for the next test because they believe they\u2019re already a failure and there\u2019s no point. Since they don\u2019t study, they fail again, reinforcing their negative self-image.<br><br>To replace criticism with an appreciation for your personhood, <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/psycho-cybernetics#part-3-use-your-imagination-to-create-success\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maltz suggests using imagination to shift your self-image<\/a>:<br><br><strong>1. Follow Obama\u2019s advice to replace critical thoughts with positive ones.<\/strong> Maltz states that greeting yourself kindly involves imagining yourself to be worthy of that kindness because if your self-image doesn\u2019t believe it, your conscious mind can\u2019t either.<br><br><strong>2. Do a small task differently,<\/strong> such as putting your left shoe on first instead of your right shoe. While you do this, imagine yourself being able to change your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-break-negative-thought-patterns\/\">thought patterns<\/a> just like you\u2019re changing that habit.
