Consider the following questions and see how they guide your path.
When was the last time you believed in yourself?
How did that belief make you feel, and do you still feel that feeling? If so, where has that feeling been moved to?
How many emotions pop up for you during the day that makes you question your value?

Do your beliefs energize you or drain you?
What is the purpose of your soul, and how has that purpose shaped your beliefs?
Are your beliefs and self-acceptance connected to your sense of self-worth, and if so, how do you change that?
