Remember when your teacher told you to sit up in class to show that you were serious about learning? Or your mother got on your case about your bad posture? Or perhaps a friend told you how important it was to make eye contact in an interview. Your whole life people have been telling you, […]

As I discussed in the post about Your Image, your feelings of self-worth are partly advertised in the ways in which you present yourself. In addition to making sure you are as physically healthy as you can possibly be (a sure sign that you value yourself), you’ll also want to make sure that the clothes […]

If you’ve been keeping up with the challenges in the Self-Worth Challenge thus far, you have done a lot of work. Already you’ve developed several systems to refine your dating selection process.

Now that your lists are complete, you may think you’ve got everything you need to get started. But there’s one more challenge you’ll need to take before you have completely mastered developing strong selectivity. The lists your worked on in Challenge 1 and 2 will help you weed-out people who are not right for you. […]

This month, we’ve been taking a look at how increasing your own perception of your self-worth can assist you in making better relationship choices. I’ve used the analogy of Harvard’s selection process to help you better understand that your selection process is going to have to be conscious one. And in my last post, we […]
