RESPECT YOURSELF & LIVE HAPPIER , You must earn your own self respect before you can expect others, to respect you.

In a World that breeds insecurity, you need to find ways to respect yourself.

You won’t be able to find inner peace until you’re able to honestly say that you like whom you are as a person.Personal acceptance is difficult to accomplish, but it’s certainly possible.

Since you were a child, you’ve probably heard that you should “treat others the way you want to be treated.” However, we often treat others better than we treat ourselves.

We tear ourselves down, call ourselves names, and emotionally abuse ourselves.

One of the ways to respect yourself is to stop acting like you deserve that abuse.

It’s okay if you don’t have the same morals that the world tries to enforce on you.

If you’re happy with the way you’re living your life, that’s all that matters.You get to determine what your definition of ‘respect’ is.It’s certainly not the same for everyone.

Your expectations of others shouldn’t be unrealistically high, but you shouldn’t take less than you deserve either.

If you let people get away with treating you poorly, then they’ll continue to do so.

You have to show others that you have confidence, and won’t be pushed around.

You don’t have to start a fight with someone who disrespects you, but you can simply walk away.

In order to respect yourself, you have to determine what your definition of ‘respect’ is.

Different peopleview the word in different ways.Create a mental list of all of the qualities that you associate with respect.Maybe ‘kindness’ is on your list, or ‘intelligence.’ By mapping out what you believe respect entails, it’ll be easier for you to try to make yourself into a respectable person.

Remember that you’re a valuable person worthy of happiness, and you’ll start to treat yourself differently.

If you’re having trouble, here are 7 ways to respect yourself:

1. Do a good deed.

This is as selfish as it is selfless; you’ll benefit as much as the person you’re helping.

2. Make small gestures of good citizenship.

Bring your old magazines to the gym so other people can read them. Offer directions to someone who looks lost. Sign up to be an organ Donor.

3. Keep resolution

Not only will you benefit from exercising or cleaning out your garage, you’ll also get a boost from the mere fact that you made a commitment and stuck to it.

4. Become an expert.

There’s great satisfaction in mastery. Pick a subject that interests you, and dig in deep: Photoshop, knife techniques,painting. This can be hard, because learning something new can also make you feel frustrated and stupid, but if you push through, you’ll give yourself a huge boost. Be sure to pick something that honestly engages you.

5. Boost your energy.

Studies show that when you’re feeling energetic, you’re much more likely to feel good about yourself. Most important: get enough sleep. If you need an emergency energy fix take a quick ten-minute walk (outside, if possible, where sunlight will also stimulate your brain), listen to some great music, or talk to a friend.

6. Challenge yourself physically.

This strategy doesn’t work for me, but I know that many people feel great after para-sailing, white-water rafting, bungee-jumping, or roller-coaster-riding. For the less daring, a great run, bike ride, or spinning class can do the trick.

7.Treat Yourself Respectfully. 

In addition to taking action on your vision, take action on treating yourself with respect. Even if you don’t have self-respect yet, change the way you talk about yourself and behave toward yourself.

Don’t demean yourself in front of others or behave in ways you know you’ll regret later. Picture yourself as a respectable, admirable person, and act “as if” you are that person until you feel it.
