Lift others up

Instructions

  1. Catch yourself when you're tempted to put others down.
    When you feel the urge to put someone down, take a moment to reflect. Ask yourself questions like: What emotions am I experiencing? What am I hoping to achieve by putting them down? What does this behavior say about me? By understanding your motivations, you can find alternative ways to meet your needs without belittling others.
  2. Build your self-worth on a healthy foundation.
    Instead of relying on external factors like appearance or achievements to determine your self-worth, focus on developing a strong sense of self based on your values and core qualities. Invest in personal growth, cultivate meaningful relationships, and live a life aligned with your values. When your self-worth is grounded in who you are as a person, you'll be less threatened by others and less inclined to put them down.
  3. Reframe your thoughts.
    Instead of viewing people as annoyances or threats, consider the lessons they might offer or the potential for personal growth through difficult encounters. Recognize that treating others with kindness, even in challenging situations, is an opportunity for your own personal development.
  4. Make a conscious effort to build people up.
    Take the initiative to support and encourage others in their endeavors. It could be as simple as cheering on a friend's fitness goals or providing emotional support to someone going through a tough time. By actively showing kindness and support, you'll not only uplift others, but you'll also enhance your own sense of self-worth. As you make this a habit, you'll find yourself naturally drawn towards building others up and creating a positive impact.
