Self-respect is your foundation
Life gets messy when you only respect yourself sometimes.
When we respect ourselves, we make choices, decisions, promises, and requests that honor our wholeness, worth, and values. When we disrespect ourselves in the “service” of pleasing someone else or prioritizing their comfort over our personal responsibility, we make choices that lead to confusion, resentment, and inauthenticity.
Our job is to respect ourselves enough to be uncomfortable now and experience more ease later. The skill to develop is staying present to sense when we are moving away from our worth, vision, and values. The skill of noticing when we drift is how we can utilize the courage we already have within us to come back.
What would it feel like to respect yourself 100 percent of the time instead of just sometimes?
