Building a better self-image does have its obstacles, but it is a key component in living an all around happy and fulfilling life.

Self-worth is important for all of us. It’s especially so for today’s adolescents as they deal with pressures to excel, participate, and do this, but not that.

How does shame affect your self-worth? You know, the degree to which you value yourself. The stuff that makes you glad to be you.

Many of the teens we work with at Mindful Healing tend to compare themselves to others on social media, believing others are happier, richer, prettier, or better than they are.

This blog explores the reasons why your influence is so valuable and the steps you can take to promote your daughter’s self-worth. Chances are you’ll boost your own along the way!

Use this practice with your teen—take steps toward promoting your teen’s self-kindness and compassion, including how to be less judgmental.
