“Think global, act local.” Write a post connecting a global issue to a personal one.
I don’t know if eating disorders are classified as a global issue but I believe they are—statistics from 2002 state 70 million people world-wide are living with one so the number would be much greater today.
Knowing these facts are one thing, but what can be done at a personal level to help protect ourselves or our children from developing a dangerous eating disorder that has the potential to kill them. The answer is increasing low self-worth to a healthy level. Self worth is defined as “the opinion you have of your self and the value you place on yourself.”
Consider your current level of self-worth—do you believe in yourself and your abilities or is your self worth low and a struggle?
Work on improving your self-worth by focusing on the following 3 areas:
- Listen to your self talk – ensure you tell yourself positive statements. When a negative statement comes to mind—at least turn it into a neutral statement—even if you can’t go all the way and make it a positive one.
- Give yourself permission to do one fun thing or one nurturing thing a day—because you deserve it.
- Set a mini goal each day that works towards your longer term goals.
So lets help to spread the growth of positivity through the world, by beginning at home. Let’s focus on supporting increased self-worth in everyone we come in contact with. Ensure that if we can’t do anything to help, we don’t do anything to make the situation worth. Self worth is improved one small step at a time—it won’t happen overnight.
