Something I once did for new years a number of years back is by myself a small personal diary, one that could fit in my pocket and easily bring with me.

Before this one thing that I occasionally had issues with is quite simply keeping track of things that where going on in any given day.

A lack of Self Worth manifests in multiple ways, but most often it appears in a sense of uncertainty over your life. A feeling of underlying anxiety that will not go away no matter how hard you try.

Without Self Worth you can often wonder what the point of it all is. You do not know your purpose, or what it is you are good for if anything.
