Respect (4)

•Respect yourself- give yourself the best chance of growing and developing to your potential.
•Be your own best friend; you are certain to have many likeable aspects- like yourself.
•Protect and encourage the esteem of others- help make them fell good about themselves.
•Strengthen your own self-esteem – change how you fell about yourself; encourage yourself with gusto.
•Accept yourself, faults and all- acknowledge and affirm your good qualities.
•Acknowledge your emotions as they arise- do not deny emotions, release them.
•Meditate on how others see and experience you- envy and admire yourself.
•Rid yourself of controlling influences, people, or substances that lead to self-deprecation.
•Blame your ego for your problems, not other people.
•Practice distinguishing your higher self from your daily self- bring the two into convergence.
