nature, animals, helping, doing good deeds, you feel more valuable because you are witnessing the value that you are providing, okay?

So I think that it's impossible to talk about increasing your self-worth without including your connection with the world around you.

Because value is two ways.

It's a two-way street.

You can't just be like, I'm so valuable and never interact with anybody.

That's not possible.

Because everything in life is about interacting with the people and the things around us.

So the number one thing for self-worth is provide value for others.

Perform good deeds.

Be bothered to do things for other people.

When you can be bothered...

to do things.

It might be a push at the beginning.

It might feel like a bit of a struggle, but it's going to transform how you feel about yourself.

And not to mention, it's going to enrich your relationships.

And therefore, you feel like you've got more that you want to give because the relationship's getting so good.

And I spoke about friends, but this could be with your partner.

This could be with your family, with your pets, with nature in general.

There's so much that you have to give to

And sometimes when people are highly, highly anxious and very depressed, one of the key things is that they start to close off and isolate and close off and isolate.
