Practice selfcompassion and self-respect from "summary" of Unf*ck Yourself by Gary John Bishop
When you show yourself some compassion and respect, you're basically saying, "Hey, I'm worth it." It's about recognizing your own humanity and honoring yourself as the flawed, imperfect, but still deserving person that you are. Self-compassion means treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a friend in need. It's about acknowledging your struggles and challenges without judgment or self-criticism. By practicing self-compassion, you're giving yourself permission to be imperfect, to make mistakes, and to learn and grow from them. It's about accepting yourself as you are, flaws and all, and embracing your uniqueness and individuality. When you show yourself compassion, you're nurturing your emotional well-being and building resilience in the face of life's ups and downs. Self-respect, on the other hand, is about setting boundaries and standing up for yourself. It's about recognizing your own worth and refusing to tolerate disrespect or mistreatment from others. When you respect yourself, you're sending a clear message to the world that you won't settle for anything less than you deserve. Practicing self-respect means honoring your own values and beliefs, and not compromising them for the sake of others. It's about valuing your own opinions and decisions, and trusting yourself to make choices that are in alignment with your true self. When you respect yourself, you're empowering yourself to live authentically and confidently, without seeking validation or approval from others.- Practicing self-compassion and self-respect is about loving and honoring yourself unconditionally. It's about recognizing your own worth and treating yourself with kindness, understanding, and respect. When you cultivate these qualities within yourself, you're not only improving your relationship with yourself but also setting the foundation for healthier and more fulfilling relationships with others. So, go ahead and give yourself the love and respect that you truly deserve.
