Today I've been a very busy day for me that I could not come online. Yeah, our school has resumed today and I have to go back to school. But ever since I get to school I've been so busy and my phone too is not charged...

Oops! I've gotten, I make my hair today, I would have shown the picture here, but unfortunately, I have not taken any pictures with it.... hehehe

Enough of the whole paparazzi, now to the main reason for writing this article.

Self-respect is a way of treating yourself accordingly, knowing that you love and relief like everyone else. We will be surrounded by people who respect and treat us how we want to be treated when we develop healthy reciprocal relationships.

In today's digital world, the majority of Instagram and Tik Tok users engage more in social comparison, which makes them feel worse about themselves. Self-respect will prevent you from comparing yourself and your life with others.

Showing respect to yourself doesn't mean you are egocentric or conceited it does quite the opposite, in return, we gain respect from others when we respect ourselves.

There are some methods for practicing self-respect:

1) figure out what makes you respect yourself: Ask yourself what drill makes you feel your best, when you realize those practices, try to pay yourself the respect by prioritizing them daily.

2) Be honest about who you are and who you aren't: Don't hesitate to do the things that make you feel good not only with yourself but with others. Do everything with honesty and let people know the real you.

3) Don't let other people define your boundaries: Some people have the intention of carrying out a particular task/goal, but the advice they got is often indistinct with their emotional baggage. Whenever you are being told " you'll not be able to do it" or "you Can't" you have to figure out yourself what's true by Ignoring them.

4) learn how to say no: letting others know what you don't like doesn't make you a bad person, but a respectable person. You'll get to create time and energy with things and people that make you happy when you stop saying yes to things you don't want to execute.

5) Apologize with self-respect: it's sparse pleasant saying "I'm sorry", and if you're going to do it, don't hesitate to make it count! Learn not to make excuses when apologizing, because when you do so, it's disrespectful to the other party and your integrity.

6) Don't talk down on yourself: Don't be in the midst of people and be saying " oh my God, I hate how fat I look" or "I'm so ugly". Never talk down on yourself because when you do so, you're permitting people to do the same.

7) Don't be a talkative: know when to speak and when you should keep quiet, you don't always have to say what you are thinking, try to ask " is it going to make sense if I should say this?" You don't have to say everything that crosses your mind.

8) set boundaries: whenever people do whatever you're not comfortable with, let them know, either by your body language or by saying it, you don't have to keep quiet when things are going the wrong way.

9) Avoid unnecessary gossip: You don't always have to be in people's business, you just have to face yours because generally, people disrespect gossipers.

10) Respect others: Respect they say is reciprocal, more than 80% of people will respect you when you respect them, you just have to put down your ego and do the right things you ought to do with others.

How we treat ourselves would be the template for others on how to treat us. If they noticed we don't treat ourselves with respect, they won't give it.

I could so much apply a lot in my life and I try to personalize it… it’s not much of saying one has it but it should be seen by people as well… setting boundaries is something I haven’t read towards this topic and I must appreciate your effort in putting this together.. I am glad to have read this tonight

Honestly, this is very helpful. Let me ask you. If you're in a relationship with someone and it's not going fine like it should. How do you return the exact level of energy you get from that person? I'm trying to do this but I get confused everytime I plan on doing it. I need to gain that my respect

There's are different articles I wrote about relationships issue, the red flag and toxic relationships... There's are some red flags that is difficult to specify, but when you're are able to spot it, you'll try to work on it.. On a normal ground, you're are to build your relationship the way you want it.. ( in a good way, not the other way round) and if it's seems that all your efforts is not working.. you'll have to let go, the relationship is not meant for you... @Olaquare can be of help about this too, he knows more about relationship issue ☺️

Whenever you are being told " you'll not be able to do it" or "you Can't" you have to figure out yourself what's true by Ignoring them.

Same thing I talked about in my article. Learn to move away from negative people. Believe in yourself that you can do it and don't let anyone see you less. When you respect yourself and try things on your own first, people will respect you for that.

Always know when to speak and not to speak as that alone makes you a reserved person.

Setting boundaries is actually a great form of respecting oneself and saying no too, it's quite linked with eachother.

Being scarce to is another form of self-respect, when a person is not always available, people around would respect the person more and value the person's time.

Beautiful article Mary, I would still love to see your hair though.
