Self Respect and Self-Esteem – Do You like Yourself
Self Respect and Self-Esteem
If your self-esteem isn’t strong as it could be, don’t worry. It doesn’t have to be that way. Today, let’s talk a little bit about honor and respect. Of course, we all know we should honor and respect other people, authorities, and so on. However, do you honor and respect yourself?
Take a look at how you treat others versus how you treat yourself. Do you speak as kindly to yourself as you do to someone else? Do you support and encourage yourself as you do others, so that you feel as happy and valued as you want others to?
In short, do you treat yourself as you treat others? Many people don’t. In fact, if you have low self-esteem, it’s likely that you beat yourself up verbally every day. You might talk negatively to yourself, beat yourself up for making a mistake, and treat yourself as though you are worthless and horrible.
You might not even do that to your worst enemy, but when it comes to yourself, you think nothing of it.
It can be hard for us to honor and respect ourselves, because we were taught to be selfless. What does that mean? It means that we’re supposed to share and be considerate of others, and to think of ourselves “last.” In fact, if we put ourselves first or even anywhere within the running when compared to other people, you might even be called “selfish.”
Of course, you need to be compassionate and respectful of others. However, it’s not good if you’re doing this at the expense of your own self-respect and self-compassion. If you forget that, you may end up neglecting yourself in favor of taking care of others a lot of the time — maybe even all the time.
