Anxiety

We all derive our sense of self-worth from something. A lot of people derive theirs from social acceptance. This is understandable, but something we must avoid if we we're to not constantly worry about how we're viewed by others.

Of course, that leads to the question of how we're to derive our sense of self-worth. A lot of people find theirs in religion. Others find theirs in academic or athletic accomplishments. Perhaps others find theirs in the number of people they help, or their work ethics, or the kind ways they treat animals, or their respect for the environment, or their dedication to political causes.

It's a tough question, and it's something we'll deal with throughout our lives, but as mentioned, I do think it's important to consider ourselves valuable for reasons other than how socially accepted we are.

 

Great. Ask about cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety.
