I don’t think this exactly answers your question as it doesn’t address self-worth, but for me a great piece of advice I was given was: “put on your own oxygen mask before helping others.” Fundamentally, we are only successful when we look after ourselves, and direct our energies to things that we want or can get some enjoyment from, rather than forcing ourselves (in the long-run at least) to do things we don’t want to do.

I found this a helpful sound bite, thank you
