Today is the first Coffee and a chat with me! So here is one of the many questions I get about values, and how to figure out what it is we value when we are no longer stuck in our illness. I hope you find this helpful! xox

Today my therapist and I talked about not having my self-value depend on numbers (grades, weight, etc). However, now that I'm not doing that anymore, I don't know how to value myself. I'm not going to believe that I'm the best thing that ever happened to the world if I don't have a reason to but I'm also not going to believe that I'm trash if I don't have a reason to. So what should my self-value depend on? I'm stumped. #katifaq

I think the best way to start answering this question is to start by figuring out what you value in other people. What is it that makes someone your friend? Are there things in people around you that you admire? Or people you look up to? It’s often too hard to look at ourselves and think about it, but much easier to look at other people. To combat any of that negative stuff.. you know the deal. Start talking back to it with positive stuff and some good ol’fashioned thought stopping. What do I value? I value honesty, reliability, loyalty, & mutual respect.
