Self-respect implies that you value yourself. To respect something is to accept it. Embrace your unique skills and gifts. There is only one of you in the world. If you don't want others to consider you as somebody less, start valuing yourself first. The woman with self-respect simply likes herself. Reinforce this by surrounding yourself with people who love, honour, and respect you. Separate yourself from the ones that don't. And if you're not sure how you're doing...try this test: the next time someone pays you a compliment, make a note of how you react. Are you able to accept the compliment graciously? Or, did you discount the compliment and tell the person you didn't deserve it? When you can accept a compliment with simple heartfelt gratitude, then you know you're self-respect is growing.
