Treat yourself as someone worthy of respect from "summary" of Beyond Order by Jordan B. Peterson
To treat yourself as someone worthy of respect is not a simple matter. It is not easy to understand what this entails. To begin with, it is important to recognize that respect for oneself is not the same as self-esteem. Self-esteem is a concept that emerged from the self-help movement of the 1970s, and it has to do with feeling good about oneself. Respect, on the other hand, is a more complex and nuanced idea. It involves taking yourself seriously, holding yourself in high regard, and recognizing your intrinsic value as a human being. This is not a matter of arrogance or narcissism; it is a matter of recognizing your own worth and treating yourself accordingly. One way to cultivate this attitude of self-respect is to pay attention to the way you talk to yourself. Do you speak to yourself in a harsh and critical tone? Do you belittle yourself and put yourself down? If so, you are not treating yourself with the respect you deserve. Instead, try to speak to yourself with kindness and compassion. Another way to practice self-respect is to take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This means eating well, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that nourish your soul. It also means setting boundaries with others, standing up for yourself, and advocating for your own needs and desires. In the end, treating yourself as someone worthy of respect is about recognizing your own humanity and treating yourself as you would treat a beloved friend or family member. It is about showing yourself compassion, kindness, and understanding. It is about valuing yourself for who you are, imperfections and all. By doing so, you will not only improve your relationship with yourself, but you will also improve your relationships with others.
