What Your Standards Say About Your Self-Worth

Let me hit you with something bold: Your standards are a mirror of how much you value yourself.

If you're settling for breadcrumbs, constant "maybes," and confusing mixed signals, you're not in a relationship—you're in a loop of self-abandonment.

I know that sounds rough. But I don’t do sugarcoating.

Your standards say:

• How much time and energy you're willing to waste

• What kind of treatment you tolerate

• Whether you believe you're worthy of deep, secure love

So let me ask: What kind of partner are you currently accepting? And what does that say about your relationship with yourself?

If your bar is low, it might be because you think you can't get better. Maybe you’ve been told you’re asking for too much. Maybe you’ve been taught to be grateful for crumbs.

Nah. We’re not doing that here.

Here’s how to raise your standards:

1. Get Clear on Your Non-Negotiables Respect. Safety. Communication. These aren’t luxuries—they’re the minimum.

2. Do the Inner Work Heal the parts of you that believe love has to be earned through suffering.

3. Hold the Standard, Even When You're Lonely Loneliness is temporary. Settling creates long-term pain.

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow.
