Self-Respect

Self respect goes a long way.I have come to realize,in most instances,people respond to you by the way you potray yourself.Self respect goes hand-in-hand with loving yourself.Manier times,in social networks,people have often labelled taking pictures as 'self-love";but it is not!

Respecting yourself goes deeper than beautifying the outside and taking loads of pictures-often to get likes.Self respect/love does not need an approval from others.It's about you knowing that you are valuable and having principles that will allow you to continue loving yourself.

As a woman,it means:
-You realize your body is valuable and so you will not  sleep aound.They might echo 'you only live once';but once you sleep around/sleep with one who's not your husband you are at risk of going through a heart ache not to mention diseases/unplanned pragnancy

Love yourself enough to not become like an avocado that is touched by every hand.Manier times,people rarely go to such an avocado because it has no value.I don't know but I've seriously been considering this:If you are sleeping with him,what hope is there for marriage?Part of marriage is about sexual intercourse and if you've had those privileges before marriage,what's there to look forward to?Don't allow yourself to be a practical-where he practises so he can get better.You are not an object.

Self-respect also includes the lifestyle yoou choose to live.If you love yourself,then you will not participate,eat,do anything that will harm you.The fact that you are not going to a club and you don't consume alcohol does not mean you are taking care of yourself.Are you exercising,getting adequate rest,drinking enough water,eating a healthy meal-preferrably vegan/vegetarian since there are many diseases and hormones found in the meat.

Are you working on becoming a better person.I believe when you love yourself,you work on becoming a better person-improving every area that needs to be improved.Nowadays,people have become complacent with not knowing,but this is not how we should be.

Self acceptance and self-appreciation are a huge part of loving yourself-yes,I do not have the most beautiful legs to others but I appreciate them and I love them.They make me who I am.

Lastly:Stop comparing yourself-no one is better than you;there can be no better you!

And God is able to make any broken rose into a whole new one!
