120 Self-Worth Affirmations to Know Your Value, Live Your Value

Some days your worth feels obvious; other days it needs a reminder. Keep these lines close for the wobbly mornings, the tough meetings, and the quiet moments when you forget who you are. They’re short on purpose—easy to say, easier to carry.
