S6 EP 45: Stop Attacking Yourself: Self-Respect Before Self-Love

You don't have to love yourself to stop attacking yourself.For years I believed that "self-love" was the answer... but I couldn't even imagine what that meant. I didn't like myself, let alone love myself.Maybe you've felt the same.If you've ever criticised yourself for eating too much, drinking too much, saying yes when you wanted to say no, missing the gym, making mistakes, or feeling like you're never quite enough, this episode is for you.In this episode of RAW CHATTER, I explain why self-respect not self-love is often the first step towards lasting behaviour change.We explore the difference between:✔️ Self-worth✔️ Self-esteem✔️ Self-respect...and why understanding those differences can completely change how you think, feel and behave.We'll also explore why so many successful people still feel they have to earn rest, approval, success or even the right to look after themselves.Because lasting change doesn't begin with perfection.It begins with respect.Pause the episode and spend some time with these questions.Where in your life are you abandoning yourself?Where are you criticising yourself?What promises have you broken to yourself this week?Whose approval are you still trying to earn?If someone you loved spoke to themselves the way you speak to yourself, what would you say to them?Why don't you deserve that same respect?What would respecting yourself look like right now?There are no right or wrong answers.Just be honest.Awareness is where change begins.Vicky xx🎓 Watch my FREE Masterclass:https://go-figure-coaching-mlg3hl.subscribepage.io🌐 Websitehttps://www.vickymidwood.com🎙️ Subscribe to RAW CHATTER for more conversations about behaviour change, health, performance and the hidden patterns keeping us stuck.If you found this episode helpful, please:👍 Like💬 Leave a comment📤 Share it with someone who needs to hear it🔔 Subscribe for future episodes.Remember...You don't have to love yourself to stop attacking yourself.Self-care starts with self-respect.#SelfRespect #SelfLove #BehaviourChange #MentalHealth #PersonalDevelopment #PeoplePleasing #Confidence #Boundaries #SelfWorth #SelfEsteem #Health #Wellbeing #Mindset #Psychology #RawChatter
