In this episode of Sacred Axis, Chesten and Christina delve into the concepts of sense of self, self-worth, and self-trust. They explore how these elements influence and are influenced by whether a person lives by their personal values, ethics, and morals or is at odds with them. They discuss ramifications if a person's lived life is incongruent with their values, ethics, and morals. They discuss how rigid communities can further create incongruencies by reducing an individual's sense of self-worth. This in turn can lead to poor self-trust and poor decision making. They talk about the importance of having self-compassion to build and strengthen self-worth. They discuss the need for discernment in relationships and societal interactions to determine which ones align with the individual's values, ethics, and morals and which are in conflict with them. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, they highlight the journey of discovering the self, ensuring one is living a life that matches their sense of self, and having self-worth, which all in turn allows for strengthening of self-trust.References:Sense of Self & Self-Worth QuestionsKeywords:self-trust, sense of self, self-worth, personal values, ethics, self-compassion, judgment, discernment, human nature, self-discoverySacred Axis: A Space for the Whimsically Divine.Have a comment, question, or suggestion?
