IMAD Processing Prompt - Dignity And Your Self-Worth
Dear Reader
A component of self-worth that is not often connected to self-worth or talked about - is dignity.
Dignity often is a focus, in situations where people's independence, freedom, choices and basic needs such as safety, hygiene, health and food are being impacted. This is seen in situations such as with refugees, people who are homeless, the care of people of age and for those who require physical care. And it is not just important but essential that people in these situations and everyone's dignity is considered and treated with respect at all times.
Yet your dignity can also be impacted in times of shame, whether you have done something or something has been done to you or there is some aspect of yourself you experience shame around. And your dignity can be impacted by how others treat and view you, but more importantly how you treat and view yourself.
Yet your dignity is a constant. Your dignity is your inherent worth and value. It cannot be eroded, diluted or taken away from you.
You were born worthy, of value and equal to everyone else. There is nothing that makes you lesser or more than anyone else and you deserve to be treated in the right way, no matter what you have done or not done.
You have the same rights as every other human being - to be treated with dignity and in a dignified manner. You deserve to be treated with decency, decorum and ethically and morally right. Even when you are not respected for what you have done.
Do you treat yourself with dignity?
Do you express yourself in a dignified way?
There is value in reflecting on the times when you have been treated with dignity by others and to know that you deserved to be treated this way.
Own your dignity, it is your birth right and be conscious of sharing your dignity with others and treating others with dignity.

Your processing prompt provides an opportunity for you to delve into self-reflection and uncover more about yourself Dear Reader Are you more comfortable dealing with emotional pain or physical pain, both or neither?
