How to Demand Respect from Others

Today I want to speak on the concept of power. The power that we have over our own lives.

Let’s understand and know our power as individuals. Hold others accountable for the way in which you would like to be treated.

When we do not hold others accountable and demand that they treat us in the way we deserve, others have no direction about what our expectations are and what our non-negotiables look like. Therefore, they do as they see most fit to benefit themselves.

Your non-negotiables should be clear. Your non-negotiables are at the core of who you are and your believed value system. We all have them. They should be communicated in a very direct way. If the other individual has any respect for you, then your non-negotiables are a non-issue and they will be okay with them.

If they seemingly take issue with the non-negotiables and expectations you have set forth, then they are not interested in investing real time with you.

Sharing our space with others should be considered a sacred practice. Whether it be a romantic relationship, friendship or family members. YES! Even family members.

Not all family members deserve to be included in our sacred space.

When we understand our power as individuals we no longer allow others to take our power from us.

Internal peace, boundaries, protecting our energy at all costs are all instrumental in stepping into true and full mental clarity.

The beautiful part of it all is, that you already have the tools inside of you. Now you must execute them, and rightfully so.
