Loving and Respecting Yourself

For many of us, the idea of "How do I love myself?" is a million-dollar question. I will answer it in today's episode since there has been a lot I learned in these past months.

Look at self-love as a skill you want to learn and develop. Like any skill, it takes a little bit of time and practice to get it "right" or become more familiar with it.

For me, self-love requires three things - awareness, strength, and action.

You become aware of your triggers and what makes you question or hustle for your worth.

Then, you have to have the strength to make choices and decisions that aren't always easy but necessary for your well-being. And then you have to put it into practice since love is a verb, not only a feeling.

The best time to test the level of self-love and self-respect comes when you are in the arena, in real-life situations.

In the second part of this episode, I will share with you three steps on how to develop more love and respect towards yourself.

As I mentioned earlier, the first step is to recognize your triggers and understand your behavior.

The second step is to commit to this journey. Consider it your very first serious "attempt" to love and respect yourself.

And last but not least, get into a habit of making what I call "hard choices", respect your boundaries and standards and understand the definition of "choosing yourself."
