Finding Recognition Within: How Guard and Reserve Members Can Reclaim Their Worth

Introduction

Serving in the Guard or Reserve often means standing in the shadows, quietly fulfilling duties without widespread recognition. While external validation is meaningful, proper recognition begins within. It's time to shift the focus from seeking approval to embracing your intrinsic worth.

You Matter

Why External Recognition is Limited

• Lack of Visibility: Civilian peers may not witness the depth of your sacrifices.

• Cultural Differences: Military accomplishments may not be easily understood outside service circles.

• Internalized Modesty: Many service members downplay their achievements, believing they are "just doing their job."

Reclaiming Your Worth Starts With You

1. Reflect on Your Achievements: List moments when you made a difference—big or small.

2. Practice Self-Appreciation: Give yourself credit for daily sacrifices and commitments.

3. Surround Yourself with Support: Connect with mentors, peers, or coaching services that reinforce your value.
