There's a saying, "Treat people the way you want to be treated." But there is also a saying, "You get treated in life they way you teach people to treat you." Interesting, huh? In other words, people send indirect messages to others, unconscious expectations they have on themselves, and then to reverse behavior can be either detrimental or positive. Women especially need to take ownership of their life. We have to love ourselves and demand respect from others. Those who are treated like doormats unconsciously send the message that they are not good enough, or they don't believe they deserve better, etc. Well that's just bullshit. You are somebody. You do deserve to be happy. You do deserve the best in life. You are special and unique.
The Four Agreements is a wonderful Toltec Wisdom book. It states we make agreements or believes about ourselves, the way we are supposed to live and so on. If someone makes an agreement that they are ugly, fat or whatever, that is an agreement made with themselves and therefore they believe it. In my world with my students, that thinking is called negative self talk. The 1st agreement is "Be Impeccable with your Word." Only speak the truth and use loving words 1st about yourself and others. Gossip is a form of black magic, poison. With one negative word, the world can change. Prime example: Hitler. His word has such influence and billions have died because his word was so powerful. Make an attempt to speak kindly of yourself. God created you perfectly. There is nothing wrong about your being.
Keep in mind today Proverbs 4:24
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
Love yourself because as my favorite fitness guru, Denise Austin would say, "YOU ARE WORTH IT!"
