The reason why is that we treat people how they asked us to treat them.
If you want people to treat you well and buy you those expensive gifts then you need
to be advertising your standard of self-care, self-love, and self-worth in everything that
you do and say and in every way that you behave.
In order to do that and to be that person you need to have the courage to be yourself
around people. You have to have the courage to go on the journey to find out who you
are, what you're all about and then not be afraid to assert that personality on to the
world at large. In order to do this, you really need to cultivate a deep sense of self-
worth, self-love, and self-appreciation.
Self-Talk
While it's important to respect our emotions, give our emotions space and
demonstrate self-worth and self-love, what is even more mind-blowing is the power
of self-talk.
Dr Daniel Amen is an American psychiatrist who has completed over 32,000 brain
scans on people in order to study what is happening within our brains. One thing that
is clear through these studies is that while it is possible to alter the brain through
medication, it’s actually also possible to alter the brain through experience. What is
more powerful than anything else is altering your brain through self-talk.
