There are things that you need to do or things you would have done but you should not because you value yourself. The value and respect you place on yourself will determine the kind of actions you perform and will also determine how you relate with others. You will agree with me that, more often than not, the same value you place on yourself will determine how others will value you, and the same respect you have for yourself will determine how others will respect you.

In order to increase on your self-respect, self-value, and worth, there are things you need to take note of and observe. Firstly, you need to stay out of people's business if you are not invited. That is, do not go about giving unsolicited opinions and advice, because it can easily lead to disrespect and a decline in self-worth. If someone does not invite you into a matter, then stay off it. Even if you are invited, you have to also know your boundaries and know when to leave. Of course, it is always better to leave when the cheers are highest.

In addition to this, do not go to where you are not invited nor welcomed. It is better to go to where your values are needed and celebrated than where you are tolerated. You are not to be managed, so know your self-worth and respect yourself accordingly. Even in a relationship, you should not put yourself in the position that shows that the other party is doing you a favour by being in the relationship. In fact, they should be honoured for being with you, so do not sacrifice your value and worth. Knowing your worth is not pride but being conscious of the fact that you are valuable.

The next way to increase on your value and respect is to constantly work on yourself to be better. Of course, if you devote time to work on yourself, not only will you become better and respectable, but it will limit the time you spend on unworthy things or on people's businesses. There is a way you will work to build up yourself, you will be so valuable that people will feel honoured to have you by them. Part of the reasons why people get repelled by other people is because they do not have what they want. If you create value and have what someone else needs, they will value your presence.

As part of your quest to work on yourself to be better, you should also learn to take corrections without feeling offended or angry. You have to understand that you are human with flaws and prone to errors, so you have to take corrections when you go wrong and then learn from them to be better. You do not have to feel angry about the corrections nor attach emotions to it, rather see it as a way to help you grow. Do not allow anyone to determine when you get angry, otherwise they will have what to control you with. However, if they begin to sound offensive in the guise of correcting you, then nothing stops you from staying away from them. After all, it is not a mandate that they will be your friend.

The next point to note is that you have to try to treat people rightly, so they can also treat you in the same manner. If you do not value nor respect others, chances are that they will reciprocate to you, and of course, you will lose your own respect. The reciprocity of respect is without contradiction. If you want respect to be given to you, then you should, as a matter of necessity, give the same respect to others. If you treat others rightly, you will not have to beg before you are treated rightly - it will flow naturally.

The last point we will take a look at as a way to increase in respect and value is to take care of yourself. This includes dressing well. Trust me, there is a way you will dress and people will naturally respect you. In the same way, there is how you will dress and they will commonize you. The kind of address you want to be given should reflect in the way you dress. In addition to this, try to smell nice - it will be nice to wear some nice scents. You have to know that your outwards appearance is your strongest selling point and you should take care of it.
