How to have dignity

As the definition above mentions – having a sense of pride in oneself is how to have dignity.

And how in the world do you do that?

First, stop beating yourself up if you’re not where you want to be in life.

And I mean in every aspect! Relationships, work, location, health, weight.

I have talked to plenty of people older than be who are still trying to figure out ‘what they want to be when they grow up’!

Rarely are we ever where we want to be, but that doesn’t mean would shouldn’t appreciate where we are and try to enjoy it for what it is.

And no, that doesn’t mean you should settle! It means being upset or angry about it all the time isn’t healthy and isn’t doing you any good.

Second, think about and focus on what you are good at or what is going well in your life.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity – Start with yourself!

Don’t think big! Think of the little things.

Does your family love a particular dish you make? Did you hear your favorite song on the radio? Make all the green lights running errands?

I know what you’re thinking, what do these things have to do with dignity?

Well, it’s all about feeling worthy of honor or respect!

YOU feeling and knowing you are worthy of honor and respect!

You deserve it, so live it!

Do you treat others with dignity? How about yourself? Please share a tip with us below in the comments so we can all learn. Thanks!
