Feeling Insignificant? Think Again!
Feeling insignificant can arise due to things such as low self esteem, neglect, abuse, trauma, or difficult situations that pose a threat to a person's sense of selfand make it difficult to function normally in daily life. You might find it difficult to feel motivated to pursue your goals when you feel that nothing you do is right or that none of your efforts will make a difference. Because of this, it is important to find ways to manage these difficult feelings and seek help when needed.
What You Can Do
If you are feeling insignificant there are small actions, steps you can take that may help you start to feel better. Here are some ideas that can help.
1. Speak Kindly to Yourself
People who feel worthless often engage in negative thinking and self-talk. It may be challenging at first, but focus on treating yourself with kindness. When you notice negative self-talk, look for ways that you can reframe those thoughts in a more positive or realistic way. Instead of thinking "I'll never be able to do it," for example, you might say, "I can do small things each day to improve.”
2. Pay Attention When Feeling Insignificant
Sometimes negative feelings arise in response to certain situations, thoughts, experiences, or even people. Start noticing when these feelings emerge, what is happening when they occur, and what type of thoughts might be contributing.
3. Keep a Gratitude Journal
Feeling insignificant can creep in when you find yourself comparing your own life to the lives of others. Rather than falling into the trap of only looking at the ways in which it seems you are lacking, consider keeping a gratitude journal where you spend a little time each day thinking about the things you are grateful for. Refocusing your thoughts in this way can help protect you from the negative effects of comparison and envy
4. Do Something for Someone Else
Sometimes when you are feeling insignificant, focusing your attention on something other than yourself can help. Engaging in social activities like volunteering for your community or helping someone else in need can have a positive effect on a person’s happiness and well-being. Helping others can also help you feel a greater sense of significance and purpose.
Feeling significant is an inside job and it involves reestablishing your internal connection with yourself and also connecting with others. The power inside has always been there, you just need to look inside and find it. This will take some compassion, courage, and a healthier connection with yourself.
Your significance is there – trust me. You just need to stop looking where it’s not. There’s a goldmine inside, and I can’t wait for you to find it.
