How you treat yourself matters most. If you can not give the respect, love, and care that you deserve to yourself, you will never be able to give the same to others. Plus, you can never be the best version of yourself.

Respect as defined by Oxford, as a noun is a feeling of admiration for someone or something because of their good qualities or achievements. It is also, polite behavior toward or cares for someone or something that you think is important.

Do you consider yourself important? If yes, then you should give yourself some respect. As stated above, respect is given to someone important. But how do you show respect to yourself? Listed below are some of the things you may consider doing. These are a few of many ways to gain self-respect.

  • Do not compare yourself to others. Do not get jealous over nonsense things. You are unique. Your journey is different from theirs.

  • Stop asking for other's approval. You do not owe anybody an explanation of why you have to do the things you love to do. Do not let them decide what to wear or not.

  • Be confident with your body. Your body is a gift from God so be proud of it. Do not let others take away that from you.

  • Let go of toxic people. Your life will be at peace if you will not have to deal with their negativity every single day.

  • Trust your abilities. In any case, you have to give yourself the full trust that sometimes you can't get from others. It is you should trust yourself first.

  • Be healthy. Physically, mentally, spiritually. Your future self will thank you if you start doing that.

  • Prioritize yourself. It is not a crime if you put yourself first before anything or anyone else.

  • Listen to yourself. If you feel like your world is spinning or your body is aching, maybe it is time for you to have a check-up. Do not force yourself, you might end up getting worse. Listen to your body. Listen to yourself.

  • Be kind to yourself. Living is hard. Today's reality is tough. But it won't change even if you become hard on yourself so start being kind to yourself.

Gaining self-respect may be hard for others especially if they have been in the worst scenarios, someone who had been hurt, violated, or abused. They will feel that they do not deserve to be respected because there were people who hurt and will still hurt them. Which is totally incorrect. Each of us deserves the respect we can give ourselves. No matter what your history is, you should never let lose that respect in you. Never forget to celebrate the small wins you have. Never take for granted yourself. Never blame yourself for the things that you do not have control over. Never believe that you are unworthy. Each of us is worthy of love, care, and respect.

But one must understand that respect is not given to ourselves only. We also need to give respect to others no matter what their race, gender, status are. Respect for animals and living things around us, too. Again, we can only accomplish this if we know and treat ourselves with respect first.

Check out these people's work too. They're awesome!
