And I want you to ask the question right now.
And you can put this in the comments.
You can send me a DM somewhere.
You can even just reflect on this yourself.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much self-respect do you have for yourself?
10 being you have the ultimate self-respect, one being you have very little self-respect.
Where are you on this spectrum?
And I'm going to give you context here.
For most of my life, I thought I had self-respect.
I was like, nah, I'm going after what I want, but I wasn't able to create boundaries.
I people-pleased everyone.
I would beat myself up.
I would sabotage things.
I would cheat, lie, and steal.
I would do things that wasn't showing my self-respect in my eight to 16-year-old self.
My early 20s, I was doing things that I wasn't respecting myself.
And I was letting ego drive my life rather than
Joy drive my life.
Part of being happy is respecting yourself.
I was probably at a two out of a 10 out of self-respect because I was discounting myself.
