Self-respect is the foundation of emotional well-being and resilience. By reflecting on our values, surrounding ourselves with supportive relationships, practicing self-care, and forgiving ourselves, we build a stronger sense of self-worth. Engaging in activities we enjoy further reinforces this. How do you maintain self-respect in your daily life? #MentalHealth #SelfRespect #WellBeing

1/ Weak ... The technique can get at self-respect issues by targeting what eroded the self-respect, causing that imploded feeling, the drop in the chest... The disturbance. This "loss of self-respect", had a cause, an action, we address and process it. self-respect and self-confidence can arise... Usually with no further effort. One thing that can affect our self-respect is Evaluation and Invalidation... By others, or Self... It is not just a matter of "be kinder to yourself"... Especially when there is a deeply embedded pattern there. It needs to be gotten at, processed, depleted of its negativity, and with that barrier to happiness alleviated... It can come up. This usually takes technique... Not tips, strategies and coping skills. If a person is "coping", it is still there. When it is GONE, there is no need to cope or manage. Many things the technique can stop. Cease to bother a person. It may no longer flashback or occur. I haven't had bathroom hysteria episodes for some time for example. I processed my episodes. Rare to even occur. Technique is more than mere "management", even with PTSD. See 2/

3/ Self-respect is not lost or gone, it is merely covered up in a type of "Emotional Mud"... Suppressed... Oppressed... Repressed... Thus Depressed.... Technique can target episodes of the suppression... Who suppressed a person?, What suppressed a person. When and where did that take place... How did that come about?... What EMOTIONS were involved??? Is a biggie.... Usually a realization is had... Lessons learned, a person feels better... The technique is a "Mud Chipper"....

Self-respect is the most important thing. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Self-respect is loving yourself and treating yourself with care. It's the result of staying true to your values and being willing to learn and grow. The more you engage in behaviors consistent with your beliefs and values, the more you'll feel fulfilled and confident. Self-Improvement Movies that May Inspire Your Self-Respect: 1. Forrest Gump (1994) 2. The Social Network (2010) 3. The Devil Wears Prada (2004) Trauma or abuse: Experiencing trauma or abuse, such as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, can have severe and long-lasting effects on a child's self-esteem.

Self-respect is indeed the cornerstone of a healthy mind. Reflecting on your values is like aligning your internal compass—crucial for navigating life’s stormy seas. Evaluating relationships? Absolutely! Weed out those toxic connections; they’re energy vampires. Self-care? It’s not just bubble baths and spa days; it’s the daily grind of prioritizing yourself. Forgiving yourself? Yes, because self-flagellation is so medieval. And hobbies? They’re not just pastimes; they’re lifelines. So, dive into this toolkit of self-respect and build the fortress that is your self-worth.  #SelfLove #InnerStrength #PersonalGrowth

I would add… stop comparing yourself to others, and instead focus on your own strengths & successes.
