Self respect
Self respect and love can lead you to a happy, peaceful life.
Do you truly value and respect yourself? Are your life decisions based on self respect?
When you respect yourself first, it is very easy to respect others. When someone doesn’t respect themselves, it is highly unlikely that they will be respectful towards others.
What does self respect entail?
Self respect is not vanity or a superiority complex.
Whatever the circumstance; action or conversation, you can ask yourself the below questions to gauge your level of self respect at the time.
Am I going to be proud of my actions tomorrow?
Is this situation bringing out the best in me?
Am I representing and presenting myself authentically at this time?
Am I causing unnecessary hurt to myself or anyone else in this situation?
Do I feel good about myself in this moment?
