THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN  SELF-WORTH AND SELF-LOVE

Written by:

I am on the biggest manifesting journey of my life; 2024 is the year I go from dabbling in manifestation to practising daily and being very clear on what I am calling in from the universe. Now, I’ve done a lot of research on manifestation, it’s easy to get lost in the content out there and get so confused that you don’t manifest anything at all. No matter who you follow (and I suggest finding one or two person max to follow so you don’t get overwhelmed), everyone in this space talks about self-worth and self-love, but how many of us truly understand the difference?

Understanding the difference between self-worth and self-love is vital for nurturing a healthy sense of well-being.


Self-worth refers to our inherent value as individuals, regardless of our actions or achievements. It is about recognising our intrinsic worth simply by being human.
On the other hand, self-love involves caring for and cherishing oneself. It encompasses self-compassion, self-acceptance, and caring for our physical, emotional, and mental needs.

Self care

When we understand our self-worth, we acknowledge our right to exist and take up space. This recognition allows us to embrace our strengths and accept our limitations without attaching our value solely to external factors.

Self-love then comes into play as we treat ourselves with kindness, respect, and empathy. Engaging in self-care activities, practising mindfulness, and setting healthy boundaries are all parts of self-love.

Ultimately, both self-worth and self-love are essential components of holistic well-being and key in any manifestation journey. Only by recognising our inherent worth and practising self-love can we cultivate a more profound sense of fulfilment and contentment in our lives.
It’s important to remember that both are ongoing practices that require patience, mindfulness, and self-compassion every day of our lives; it is a journey you start out on and will be with you for the rest of your life. It might change based on the season of your life, but both are necessary to embrace and nurture as they will help lead to a more positive and fulfilling life, the dream life you are worthy of.

I hope you enjoyed the short post; as I start out on this self-love journey, I thought it was important to share the critical differences between self-worth and self-love for anyone else embracing a manifestation journey.
