The Biggest Gift You Can Give Yourself is.....

Respect!

It appears to be fairly straightforward. Almost effortless.

True self-respect, on the other hand, is perhaps one of the most difficult things to achieve.

What does genuine self-respect look like?

Saying "no" to things you know will not improve your life.

Being true to yourself without breaking the rules for individuals you hold in high regard.

Having strong morals and beliefs that you do not compromise

Without looking back, draw lines and close doors when they need to be closed.

nourishing your mind, body, and spirit with things, people, places, and experiences that EXPAND you, inspire you, and encourage you to flourish both inside and out

We usually battle with one or more of these issues as women. We tell ourselves we "love" or "respect" ourselves, but do our actions back up our words?

Is that reflected in the people you interact with? What are the ways you let yourself be treated? What do you say to yourself? How do you navigate the world?

Those are some big, but equally crucial, things to ponder.

The answer "no" is generally somewhere in there.

That's because unless you mend the inner pillars, your subconscious will take you down the path of self-sabotage without your knowledge until it's too late.
