Warning: These Self-respect Techniques Will Change Your Life

What has started off as a single article on the benefits of respect, grew into a follow up with 10 ways to respect others, and now finds us here as a full blown series. It’s often correct to take care of ourselves, before allotting the time to take care of others. After all, if we’re physically or mentally incapable of serving others, than we’re not being very fruitful. In that essence, we must respect ourselves, before we are truly capable of respecting others.

1. Take Care of Your Body. It’s not about how you look, or what shape you’re in. It’s about what you’re doing to better yourself. Yes, you might be overweight now, because you’ve slipped up. It’s okay, just show yourself some respect, and start by taking small steps towards a better you.
2. Take Care of Your Mind. You might not be a nobel prize candidate, or even a spelling bee champ, but it’s not too late. Expand your mind by reading, speaking with intelligent people, and spending less time on things that will ‘rot your brain’.
