Know Your Value

A friend of mine says, "Love yourself so much that your partner wouldn't dare to love you any less." It's all about knowing and owning your value and refusing to be treated any lower than what you deserve.

When people dont recognise your value, LEAVE.

When people don't value you, don't get angry get away.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Never underestimate The value in you

Anna is like the one friend who goes to therapy and becomes the therapist of the group

The $20 theory is really helpful for sexual abuse survivors. Sometimes you really do feel like you've lost your value

Ways to get to know your value: 1. Weekly reflection 2. Writing affirmations 3. Therapy 4. Guided meditation > Give yourself time.

Whether at work, relationships or in general, if they don’t see your value, moving on is not an option...it’s the only choice.

What is this a personal attack? -Anna Akana 2019

It just happens so often that a person badly over-estimates their value while others badly under-estimate their value. Really knowing your own value is HARD.

"We accept the love we think we deserve." So when it comes to self love, we can only love ourselves truly if we think we are worthy of it. Self worth is the start and the base of loving oneself truly.

"I am worthy of being committed to" I LOVE THIS. Dont settle for someone who's not going to take you seriously💖👍

Dear Universe, Thanks for sending this message through Anna 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I really like the $20 analogy because it tells me no matter how many times I fall or break, I should know that I am worth it to not accept the same toxic people again and go through a breakup again

I have to admit that after all these years of following Anna, these relationship advices have finally hit. I mean, they always do but not quite enough for me to gather up all my courage and apply them. BUT. I finally broke up with someone whom I felt never truly valued me for me but for the status of being in a relationship. I have never felt this relieved ever since we started dating. I was so good at making excuses for him it was pathetic. Good riddance is an understatement at this point.

Dammit, Anna! Why can't you just let me be sad?!

That 20$ metaphor is mindBLOWING

I’m a single, virgin, young adult male, with no relationship experience, and no degree. I know my value. According to the standards of the world I have none. 😅 I’m sure I do but it rarely feels like it. Like everyone kinda looks down on or thinks less of me because of those things especially women I know.

I really like how you asked how to do this practically. However, as someone who has been doing affirmations for a year, they don't work when something unexpectedly comes along and hurts you and you realize that, after beating yourself up, those affirmations were used to cover up the pain even if you weren't intending for them to. They just aren't working anymore. I learned that if you do not realize it, you shouldn't say it, because the universal language is that of vibrational frequency. If your words don't match your conscience, you aren't learning. Instead, I decided to affirm my intentions. Example: "I set my intentions to honor myself."; "I set my intentions to choose what is best for me." Self-value is such a damn complex topic! I have the logical understanding by personal observation that all humans are created equally, but we live in a world where ego is at work collectively, and therefore, it's difficult for one person such as myself to make a significant change. I learned that, as an adult, others are responsible for their own behavior. What has affected me the most in my life is how others have treated me. I've asked, "If I'm so valuable, why have I been treated this way?" ... but through spontaneity, I learned that something as simple as speaking up for myself, showing my emotion, and establishing my boundaries with others help me to shine my light. I struggle every day to treat myself right, but I know that I can get the furthest if I give a damn about myself.
