So, I have a question for you. Have you ever had that feeling of being bummed out because someone did not respect your feelings or degraded you? Of course you do; as a human being you can relate, just as I can. Respect is what greases the wheels of smooth relationships, not only with families and friends but at work and in life altogether. Things feel just wrong, if respect is not a part of your daily relationships. Let us ponder what respect is all about, and don’t worry — we will keep it light, cute and fun!

Ever tried to tell a cat to respect your personal space? Spoiler: it won’t work. Respect is easier with people (thankfully). Unlike cats, we can talk things out and build better bonds.

Why It Starts with You

Here’s the rub — you have to respect yourself as well. If you don’t respect your time, opinions and feelings, don’t expect others to either. Consider self-respect as your personal cheerleader.
