Do you love and respect who you are?

[Vneila21]

Taking on commitments and responsibilities is no small feat, especially if time is valuable to you. Everybody wants to be loved, heard, and respected by other people. Sometimes people can miss the mark by crossing spoken or unspoken boundaries. Do you talk to yourself the same way you talk to others? Do you treat others the same way you treat yourself? In my opinion, you will, and it happens naturally because it can't be forced. If you don't know who you are, look at what you're involved in and the habits you have developed.

Yeah. I actually just wrote about it for a group I work with. Self love and self respect are the hardest things for people to genuinely experience bc we're taught to respect others... so we do that and forget ourselves. Or we think about what sort of expressions of love we can offer someone but forget about what expressions of love WE would like.

Yes I've always respected myself but have learned to love myself

Interesting thought provoking post. I try to be respectful of others and myself.

Mostly, I am going through a rough time presently, so not as much!

Reflecting on how we treat and love ourselves is crucial in understanding how we interact with others. As a relationship coach, it's fascinating to see how self-perception mirrors our treatment of those around us. If you're extending love and respect inward, that's bound to ripple outwards. It's like nurturing your own little romance plot 😉. If you're a bit harsh on yourself, maybe it's time to flip the script and treat yourself with soulful kindness and those around you with the same tenderness. Remember, you're the main character in your life story, scripted by your actions 🌟.

I am much harder on myself than on others. It is not a good thing tbh.
Mindfulness and self care is important though and that I know about it is where I have some work to do (if I think it's worth it).

[Vneila21]

I understand that. It took me a lot to get through burnout when I was in High School.

[Shiprex]

Stay clear of it and learn better habits to be kind to yourself, half a century in and now I am taking steps.

[AnonAndrew]

Overall I do, yeah.

[Gayuglycowardv3]

heck no my value comes from how others treat me.
