Its about the way you let other people treat you and the way you treat yourself.
Self-respect means deletingtoxic peoplefrom your life.
Even if youve been best friends with them since pre-school.
Even if they are a member of your family and helped raise you.
Self-respect means speaking up when someone mistreats you.
It means letting the world know that you are not a pushover.

You know how much value you hold.
Self-respect means knowing what you need and allowing yourself to have it.
Because self-respect means taking control of your own body.
So you speak up, even if its uncomfortable.
You let them know how you feel, even if you upset them.
Self-respect means realizing what a beautiful, kind soul you are.
It means knowing that you have something special to offer this world.
And it means never accepting anything less than youdeserve.
