This video changed my life. About a year ago I was an alcoholic. Didn't go to meetings or anything like that but I used to drink ALOT. Everyday, until I was drunk. My health was deteriorating and I was fat. I weighed-in at 104.8 kg's at my fattest (I'm not that tall either - 1.7m). I listen to the RUclips while I work, and by chance this video of Teal played in the background. That night while I was drunk again I woke-up and I realised that... I was drunk again because I didn't love myself. That I drank to lull the pain which is me. I picked-up a knife (which I keep next to my bed for self-defense) and I carved the number "1" into my bed-side table (Woke-up my girlfriend in the process, she though I was nuts). I knew if I wanted to change that the 1st thing I would have to do is become sober. So I started trying, but I kept wrestling the bottle and the bottle always won. I kept on going to bed at night seeing the "1", and each time I would be reminded of what it would take to heal myself. New years came and I got really really drunk that night. Passed out on my couch and the next day I had to phone my parents to let them know i won't be able to make the family lunch since I was too hung-over. While I was hung-over lying on the couch a friend of my girlfriend walked in. I didn't even know he slept over. We start talking and he asked me if I noticed that he didn't drink a drop of alcohol the previous night. He told me that he was sober and a vegan and that he felt fantastic. I decided to become a vegan and give up alcohol from that day forward (except if someone was toasting on their wedding, then I would have a sip of campaign as to not be an asshole, or if someone was having a shot to celebrate and achievement, etc). During the course of the year thus far I have drank 3 shots and had about 4 sips of campaign. But i don't drink anything anymore. Not even campaign. I have lost 22 kg's in about 9 months, and now I'm sexy! I have also trippled my income and I started kick-boxing again. I came in 2nd at the Nationals last weekend. Thanks Teal. This video changed my life for the better.
1. Treat your brain like a scientist & ask it to find good thoughts 2. Imagine someone is depressed and try to help help them 3. Spread love into water like you are having a loving relationship with it and then drink it 4. Talent is not worth, it's an expression of it 5. "When you focus towards yourself and others with attitude of searching what to appreciate instead of what to condemn You will come to know this worth, which is inherently yours, you will come to know joy for the first time" -Teal Swan
We all cried with Teal. We cried with her because we know how she feels on a gut level. We cried with her because we now understand. Teal's wisdom and courage shine in this video. I love Teal. I am forever grateful.
I came across these videos/Teal Swan weeks ago. I read articles and saw videos criticizing and attacking her. I saw milder ones just questioning. I have enjoyed and benefited from every video I've watched by her so far...but THIS ONE touched me the most! You cannot deny the sincerity of Teal's emotions and intentions after watching this. I struggle with self worth and didn't know where to start or even if the effort would be worth it. I truly believe I NOW have a path and can see the light at the end! Thanks so much.❤
Somehow I love these 2012 videos most - they are so intense, passionate, struggling for words, not polished in any way, like a rough diamond. Sometimes I miss this quality in the recent ones - the deficiencies of professionality...
True!! I am gay and worked for a year with a homophobic person and never knew that he was. After a year we went for a dinner with collegues and suddenly he told me. You know Marco? Knowing you made me completely change my opinion about gays. I always thought that gays were only thinking about sex, but you have shown me that I was completely wrong. What do I mean about this? I mean there is no need to take actions or thinking about how to change the world. To exist, is more than enough to change it.
Mark Ferry, I never thought about existing being enough to change the world. Mind blown! You are right! I always think how can I help change the world, but that is just me trying to show myself that if I can change the world then I am enough.
I cried with you at the end, Teal. I'm on the threshold of recovering the self worth within me and I'll see you on the other side with a hug, a smile, and eternal gratitude.
You can see that she's been struggling with the tears the entire the entire video. So lovely to see that she's finally allowing them to come up and being this authentic and real to share it with us. Lots of love to all of you!
Candi Huff Yes. I agre,, just heard this tonight. I cried at the end. She has triumphed and she has had so many things happen to her that could have turned her into a bitter person. But she uses her past to help heal others. Teal, you are someone I admire, love and think the world of. When she cries, my heart hurt and it made me cry.
Teal you're a true gift to this generation! you are far better than any psychologist and I resonate with you very much.there was a reason I came across your videos. love & light ❤💙💚💜💓💋
There are some nuggets of wisdom here, but a psychologist has credentials, years of study (some of it peer-reviewed) and the field has seen over a century of research into what makes the human psyche tick, I would tend to give them a little more credence than some pseudo-scientist on RUclips with no real credentials to speak of.
I once thought that my self worth is all about knowledge, title in life, how successful I am in life, or how much money I have. I have learned during this past few years that it is really have nothing to do with those I mentioned. I am really enough as me and that is a true freedom. Thank you for your beautiful message.
24:26 into the video it feels humbling to know that you still struggle with some issues of self worth Teal. So many people on You Tube doing these sorts of videos come across as perfectly enlightened and yet it is refreshing to see that you are still a work in progress!
7 long years ago until now, I was icy. I thought my pain justified my feeling of it and I became very accepting and pessimistic. I hated how society is always deficient, not enough money, or jobs, or food, or fossil fuels. The world claimed to be overpopulated. It seamed like my existing just made all the worlds problems a little bit harder. Instead of ending my life I just decided to not be picky about it. I wouldn't ask for anything. It wasn't worth I sought, but a lack of being unworthy. I actually found value and pride in my endurance, the ability to survive anything. The last year, me watching these videos changed my life. I still don't know why people care about me, but I know it's there. I don't expect people to care or understand this comment, in fact for me it's hard posting RUclips comments, but I will deny myself something I apparently have if I didn't post this. I just wanted Teal to know that I value and appreciate her work immensely.
I am glad that I came across Teal Swan. Without her videos I could never have discovered a new way of learning and loving myself. Any time I need support I watch a video and I am free from the constraints of my past and the abuse. I am much further along the way and half the battle for me is self acceptance. With Teal she gets to the root of the problem with no could's or should's, is it was it is and through self acceptance and discovering self hatred can we/me be free. From my heart to yours Teal... I honour you and thank you for being you. Namaste my friend and Sister xxx VJ UK
Teal, there are no words to express the value of what you have put forth in this video. Thank you for who you are. Thank you for reminding us who we are. All the blessings to you.
I'm obsessed with fantasizing and daydreaming but I'm beginning to think it's actually self destructive. I might see myself in a positive light in a fantasy, but it never becomes a reality. So I hold attachments to these fantasies and become obsessed with them. Almost like another me in a nonexistent world I've made it up in my mind. But it's so addictive, I can't seem to stop
Hi Mrs.Lizard! 😃 How are you going? Did you know there is a thing called "maladaptive daydreaming?" It's a usually a response to a childhood situation which is unbearable .. we literally escape into a nicer reality. It generally starts really young .. for me it was around age 7 or so. I'm getting on top of it now! Learning to focus .. continually receiving spiritual benefit from teachers on RUclips .. Google it and see if it fits! All the Best! 💙💗💛💜💚
This is by far my favorite of Teal’s work here on RUclips. Thank you Teal. I am so grateful that the Universe brought you into my life. Thank you RUclips algorithm!
One really easy way to improve on a personal level on self love is love the worst side of you as well, and know you are still deserving of love even then.
I like this older style of video. Less production, less editing and cuts... more real. The ending of this video, from around 22:00, was amazing... a revelation for me.
Congrats, Teal, for accepting the challenge of returning to this planet to help it ascend, like many of us have. You know how limiting and sloppy it is to dwell in this 3D body and handle emotions, but we will carry on our mission. Cheers!
You are a true angel walking among people. My sister and I are eternally grateful for all of the videos you've made. We watch you every day and then discuss how can we apply in our lives what we have learned. You are a blessing. Thank you for manifesting in this time and in our lives. Sending you love & gratitude ❤ 🍀
*Everyone is born with 100% self worth, and it never changes up until the day you die.* Sometimes, however, our sense of self worth seems to change because our perception of the self is shaped and molded by our life experiences, particularly those which are abusive and traumatic. From a biological and evolutionary perspective, it makes sense for us to develop feelings which are signals of circumstance regarding how to get our needs met, but *people often make the mistake of identifying with those feelings as though they are reflections of our inherent self worth; they are not.* For example, if a child is raised by parents who are critical of the child for not being "good enough", the child will likely have a feeling relating to this experience, which is just a way of making the child aware that the way they behave may increase or decrease the likelihood of their needs getting met (attention, love, food etc.). If the child did not have this feeling, they wouldn't be able to calibrate their behaviour effectively in regards to their ever changing and dynamic environment, which after all concerns their survival. *Therefore, any and all feelings relating to a lack of self worth are not accurate or objective reflections of the child's true worth, but rather a guidance system rooted in biology, which functions as a strategy to getting the child's needs met.* Similarly, physical pain tends to serve a similar purpose; if you burn yourself you will feel a sensation of pain, who's function is to protect the body and deter you from repeating the same behaviour that caused the injury. At no point did the sensation of pain reflect on your self worth in any way, shape or form. All feelings follow the same pattern. End of. Good day. :)
what about lack of self worth in abusive or harassed people for example, the social perspective tends to treat them as less people wich have lose their dignity!! Where this concept came from? And is it true and innate in human or it is obtained as a social behaviour troughout history?
this is by far one of my most favourite videos of teal's. i love her emotional response at the end of it - such a pure soul! much love, teal! you have changed my life for the better.
I asked the universe whilst I was driving.. What does having self worth feel like? How do you act when you have self worth... As my intention is to change how people respond to me as I’m sure I’m having people mirror back to me my subconscious beliefs about myself... And then I was led here today... What a mighty answer this video is... Thank you so much Teal I’m going to follow all of your guidance...
I am so blessed to have found this today. There is nothing that can be added or taken away which can add to or takeaway from worth. I realised that I have attached my worth to my work and to “Being good” to prove my worth to myself and to others. I’ve being hiding my worth for far too long, I’ve been afraid to showcase it because I’ve felt that I would then need to justify it, now I know better. Thank you
Teal, You are amazing. The amount of pure beautiful energy that I received from watching this is truly surreal. I have been pondering questions like this for years and you have blessed my discovery. I send love, health, and peaceful energy to you and anyone who reads this. Thank you.
I've seen a lot of Teal's videos on youtube. This is the first that I'm commenting. Even if Teal doesnt see this comment I wanna say anyway: TEAL, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE. thank you for making and posting the videos!
Teal is helping me so much, I can't believe i didn't find her sooner! "When you focus toward yourself and others with an attitude of what to appreciate instead of what to codemn, you will come to know this worth, which is inherently yours. You will come to know joy for the first time." ~Teal
I found out that the affirmations work the best when you have already planted the seeds of whatever you want to manifest, and started working towards it. As you take action your reality becomes it, and affirmations only close the gap between the "possibility" and the "doubt". It's like more fuel for you to keep doing whatever you're doing. ❤
You are so amazing, it feels so natural to absorb your understanding of things, it is both soothing and empowering. Wonderful Soul. All my Love to you.
WowTeal it took me HOURS to get through this short video because I kept stopping to do the inner work after each point you discussed. I admit it was difficult to get through (lots of uncomfortable emotions came up). But the revelations, the “AH HAH” moments, the brutal honesty that comes up through this type of self reflection, made it totally WORTH IT! This truly was the best explanation for me that I’ve come across. You are loved and appreciated thank you for your candor.
I went through all of the comments to find one you commented on, to say something… well, I scrolled to the bottom and then half way back up-ish. Why? .) because I felt very much that I needed to remind you of this moment of yours, the day you recorded it. However this lands for you… and I send this with ❤️.
This is so profound to me Teal.... I am sitting here crying with you at the end of your video. To truly see and feel for the first time in 46 years of life....the love within for myself. The respect and reverence I now feel for this precious life is incredible. Thank you from my soul to yours.
Omg teal I love you so much .. you're such a beautiful person inside out.. I teared up seeing you crying.. you deserve all the happiness and success in the world..hope you have a blessed life..
Right as you thought that I have worth 23:53 I tear up, stabbed to my core, and then you tear up. Oh Teal you've always helped me, but lately I'm really tapping into your Brilliant works for support. Eternally Grateful to You and your work 💖🙏
I'm so thankful I was able to discover your channel this year. I am a little late but ever since, I've been going trough all of your content, and you are such an amazing human being. You are changing my life. Thank you for doing what you do. Thank you SO MUCH.
+zepps88 you do know that laughter is a form of panic, I comes from not knowing how to react to something so the bodies response is to laugh, it's a good form of panic, it releases antibodies the reduce stress.But, it can also be used against you, in certain situations, say for instance a serious and uncomfortable situation, and you don't know how to deal with it or respond and you end up smiling or laughing without trying. your body tries to defuse the tension it feels, but only makes the situation worse. laughter is a good/bad defense whether it's for you or those around you, it can help or hinder.
+animefreak96ful my elementary teachers always hated me how i got into trouble then couldnt help smiling when i had to talk to the teacher after class about what i did then they got more mad etc. now i just see that they were just being ignorant assholes lol
***** yeah I know what you mean, that would happen with me and my mom, when she'd yell, sometimes I would just smile, and it would make things worse, it wasn't till later that I figured out laughter and or smiling(if it's at the wrong moments) is a form a panic.
Watched Apathy and then this, then sat feeling my feelings and being present, when it came to me and I felt, made the connection, that OMG to deny yourself is to deny the source/God expression within you. I've heard, I am that I am and all that but never felt it, got it like I do now. Spending the day absorbing this into every fibre of my being, I feel like all those restrictions have been lifted, and I just need to live from this place onwards. Enjoying today and these heart felt lively vibrations 💖🙏
The fact we brought ourselves to this video is self love
Yessss
Okay
Love that
YES
Appreciate it ❤️
This video changed my life. About a year ago I was an alcoholic. Didn't go to meetings or anything like that but I used to drink ALOT. Everyday, until I was drunk. My health was deteriorating and I was fat. I weighed-in at 104.8 kg's at my fattest (I'm not that tall either - 1.7m). I listen to the RUclips while I work, and by chance this video of Teal played in the background. That night while I was drunk again I woke-up and I realised that... I was drunk again because I didn't love myself. That I drank to lull the pain which is me.

I knew if I wanted to change that the 1st thing I would have to do is become sober. So I started trying, but I kept wrestling the bottle and the bottle always won. I kept on going to bed at night seeing the "1", and each time I would be reminded of what it would take to heal myself. New years came and I got really really drunk that night. Passed out on my couch and the next day I had to phone my parents to let them know i won't be able to make the family lunch since I was too hung-over.

And repeat the video until you unconscious knows what self worth is
Unconscious self worth. I'm a'coming for ya! :D
Thank you ❤
"Your worth didn't go anywhere"... you made me into tears
We all cried with Teal. We cried with her because we know how she feels on a gut level. We cried with her because we now understand. Teal's wisdom and courage shine in this video. I love Teal. I am forever grateful.
❤And I think after all her contribution she succeeded in her mission. Infinitely grateful for such a clean and deep learning!
I came across these videos/Teal Swan weeks ago. I read articles and saw videos criticizing and attacking her. I saw milder ones just questioning. I have enjoyed and benefited from every video I've watched by her so far...but THIS ONE touched me the most! You cannot deny the sincerity of Teal's emotions and intentions after watching this.

Wow the end of the video was too real
+Amar Zing (Amarzing) true true
I'm tearing up too :D Maybe it's normal as well. Many people are vulnerable when it comes to these topics
I cried too... That was so intense
Somehow I love these 2012 videos most - they are so intense, passionate, struggling for words, not polished in any way, like a rough diamond. Sometimes I miss this quality in the recent ones - the deficiencies of professionality...
Yes, it is somewhat true, they feel more authentic

Beautiful mark. As a gay person this helps me 💜
Lesbian here from Sweden 🤩🤩🤩
To exist is not enough I disagree.
I cried with you at the end, Teal. I'm on the threshold of recovering the self worth within me and I'll see you on the other side with a hug, a smile, and eternal gratitude.
❤
You are living proof that all brokenness and Self hate can be transformed into Self Love And Self Worth. God Bless You.
"Because I am worthy I will love the parts of me that scare me the most. " Idk if anyone needs to hear that today.. but thank you again Teal.🙏
I needed it. Thank you.
You can see that she's been struggling with the tears the entire the entire video. So lovely to see that she's finally allowing them to come up and being this authentic and real to share it with us. Lots of love to all of you!
This is going on repeat until it sinks in.
Candi Huff Yes. I agre,, just heard this tonight. I cried at the end. She has triumphed and she has had so many things happen to her that could have turned her into a bitter person.

At the end I cried with you.. Thank you for this video 💖 and Love for everyone including me, on this beautiful planet.
I think i understand. (Looking inside.. is not easy thanks limited beliefs. And make new beliefs...) Starting new ones.
Thank you :-)
I love you too

It's a usually a response to a childhood situation which is unbearable .. we literally escape into a nicer reality.

This is by far my favorite of Teal’s work here on RUclips. Thank you Teal. I am so grateful that the Universe brought you into my life. Thank you RUclips algorithm!
The fact that the algorithm bases what videos you see as what you search for, you can also thank yourself. 😁
One really easy way to improve on a personal level on self love is love the worst side of you as well, and know you are still deserving of love even then.
Hhj88 K thank you too!
true, embrace the shadow part.
The analogy of the light, that is always on, is so simple yet so eye-opening. Why don't they teach this in kindergarten?
this might be my favorite Teal Swan clip. thank you for all your integrity.
Miss Wee i love your videos
Wait until you see another of her videos.
rewatching this all these years later and crying so intensely at the end. thank you for all the light you shed on the darkness Teal.
she needs to start talking about this again… people need self love more than anything
I like this older style of video. Less production, less editing and cuts... more real. The ending of this video, from around 22:00, was amazing... a revelation for me.

I always come back to this. Again and again and again. thank you.
When the song started playing at the end, I started crying. Then I looked it up and listened to all of it..and cried some more. So healing..
salam al3kum keefek sho a5barak?
Every word dwelling from TEAL
is Healing to me!
Thank you so much !
Patrick
The end brought tears to my eyes
Mine as well. I'm just beginning the path to self healing... and self worth is a struggle, as i wasn't aware of having any since I can remember.
Nice! I enjoyed the cry...I was crying first...and then realized you were too 🥰
Teal you are incredibly intelligent and intuitive
I am so blessed to have found this today.
There is nothing that can be added or taken away which can add to or takeaway from worth.
I realised that I have attached my worth to my work and to “Being good” to prove my worth to myself and to others. I’ve being hiding my worth for far too long, I’ve been afraid to showcase it because I’ve felt that I would then need to justify it, now I know better. Thank you
Teal,
You are amazing. The amount of pure beautiful energy that I received from watching this is truly surreal. I have been pondering questions like this for years and you have blessed my discovery. I send love, health, and peaceful energy to you and anyone who reads this. Thank you.
You are a beautiful person. Thank you for making this video.
puke...
Thank you! Just.... No words.... Just thank you so much.🌸
It is tough, hard AF. Thank you for your vulnerability
I've seen a lot of Teal's videos on youtube. This is the first that I'm commenting. Even if Teal doesnt see this comment I wanna say anyway: TEAL, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE. thank you for making and posting the videos!
The fact that we put our energy to find and watch this video is proof that “I’m not giving up yet.”
I love you all, and I am especially grateful for you TS💓
Teal is one of the most beautiful(inside and out) and wisest people I have ever come across
I've been following Teal for about 8 years now and this is my favorite Ask Teal of all time
You were the reason that guided towards loving myself, you were there teal when no one was. I appreciate you and i love so so much. ❤️
Teal is helping me so much, I can't believe i didn't find her sooner! "When you focus toward yourself and others with an attitude of what to appreciate instead of what to codemn, you will come to know this worth, which is inherently yours. You will come to know joy for the first time." ~Teal
Thank you ,
I appreciate
Your vulnerability.
Your message is good.
Teal's video that touched me the most...thank you for that ending I ended up in tears as well xx
I found out that the affirmations work the best when you have already planted the seeds of whatever you want to manifest, and started working towards it. As you take action your reality becomes it, and affirmations only close the gap between the "possibility" and the "doubt". It's like more fuel for you to keep doing whatever you're doing. ❤
Watching this over and over
This is one of your good video where you dont read from screen ( it doesn't seem) and you r completely connected with your audience . I appreciate it.
Thank you ! Great video.
thank you thank you thank you, this video just changed my life
much of love from Sudan Africa

I love you Teal, and I cried with you! So grateful you took this form on earth, helping as all! ❤
I looka t the video evry month it is so good .....thank you ... thank you Teal Swan.
At about 23 min in, I realized it was 11:11pm. 🕯️✨💚✨
🫂 Thank you, Teal
You are so amazing, it feels so natural to absorb your understanding of things, it is both soothing and empowering. Wonderful Soul. All my Love to you.
I love her....such a beautiful soul.
WowTeal it took me HOURS to get through this short video because I kept stopping to do the inner work after each point you discussed. I admit it was difficult to get through (lots of uncomfortable emotions came up). But the revelations, the “AH HAH” moments, the brutal honesty that comes up through this type of self reflection, made it totally WORTH IT! This truly was the best explanation for me that I’ve come across. You are loved and appreciated thank you for your candor.
I went through all of the comments to find one you commented on, to say something… well, I scrolled to the bottom and then half way back up-ish.
Why?
.) because I felt very much that I needed to remind you of this moment of yours, the day you recorded it. However this lands for you… and I send this with ❤️.
Thank you. I see pain in your eyes. thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.
This is so profound to me Teal.... I am sitting here crying with you at the end of your video. To truly see and feel for the first time in 46 years of life....the love within for myself. The respect and reverence I now feel for this precious life is incredible. Thank you from my soul to yours.
Omg teal I love you so much .. you're such a beautiful person inside out.. I teared up seeing you crying.. you deserve all the happiness and success in the world..hope you have a blessed life..

Right as you thought that I have worth 23:53 I tear up, stabbed to my core, and then you tear up. Oh Teal you've always helped me, but lately I'm really tapping into your Brilliant works for support. Eternally Grateful to You and your work 💖🙏

At the end, I almost cried feeling light inside. Thanks for sharing this!

Whatchoo talkin bout? You not late! Not even a little bit.
Beautiful
i cried at the end with you...
You are enough Teal. Thank you!!
This is my third time watching this. Seems to pop up for me every two years. This time I hear it loud and clearly. Thank you
You are allowing me allowing myself to break free from everything stopping me from being my true self ❤️ thank you
i tried the water exercise and had a fit of uncontrollable laughter
+zepps88 lol
+zepps88 you do know that laughter is a form of panic, I comes from not knowing how to react to something so the bodies response is to laugh, it's a good form of panic, it releases antibodies the reduce stress.But, it can also be used against you, in certain situations, say for instance a serious and uncomfortable situation, and you don't know how to deal with it or respond and you end up smiling or laughing without trying. your body tries to defuse the tension it feels, but only makes the situation worse. laughter is a good/bad defense whether it's for you or those around you, it can help or hinder.
+animefreak96ful my elementary teachers always hated me how i got into trouble then couldnt help smiling when i had to talk to the teacher after class about what i did then they got more mad etc. now i just see that they were just being ignorant assholes lol
***** yeah I know what you mean, that would happen with me and my mom, when she'd yell, sometimes I would just smile, and it would make things worse, it wasn't till later that I figured out laughter and or smiling(if it's at the wrong moments) is a form a panic.
+animefreak96ful very knowledgeable words you said there! I agree with you 100%....perfect sense it makes.
I love that you didn't cut out the vulnerability because that just shows us this is ongoing work. Even when we are spiritually evolved.
I like these older videos so much more. Even though she appears to be stumbling, I find this a lot more authentic.
Watched Apathy and then this, then sat feeling my feelings and being present, when it came to me and I felt, made the connection, that OMG to deny yourself is to deny the source/God expression within you. I've heard, I am that I am and all that but never felt it, got it like I do now. Spending the day absorbing this into every fibre of my being, I feel like all those restrictions have been lifted, and I just need to live from this place onwards. Enjoying today and these heart felt lively vibrations 💖🙏
You are so amazing, tears come to my eyes as you talk. God Bless you and thank you so much for you!
11:18 tell your brain "today what you're going to do is an activity where you look for proof of your own worth." Love this.
All the respect in world for you dear
Literally WHO could dislike this video!!!??? SO GOOD
