Learning to have self-respect and to love yourself can be a challenge that almost everyone faces at some point in their life. We have all had moments where we doubt our worth or cannot seem to appreciate our value. For those suffering from addiction or mental health issues, finding self-respect can be a great challenge. It is so easy to only think about the wrong decisions we have made, the mistakes that we have committed, and the people we have hurt. How could we have possibly done that? How can we possibly move past those things? It can be easy to be consumed with that regret. It can also be easy to only see the negatives that we have done and not look at any of the positives. If you feel you are not worthy of self-respect it will be very hard to find your happiness.
Reawaken Your Spirit
Finding your self-respect and your self-love is an integral part of the healing process. It is very hard to work through addiction and mental health issues if you are consumed with self-hatred. If you do not think you are worthy of respect, it will be hard to find it. Ultimately, it is about finding yourself again, that person who you probably have not seen in a long time, and maybe do not even know or remember. It is about finding that great person who is full of light and life. Finding that person again, deep down, can help reawaken an old spirit and help you to work through the challenges you are facing.
Redefine Respect
Working with a professional can greatly help you work through the process of finding your self-respect and your self-love. Sometimes it takes redefining our idea of respect. We need to believe that even though we have made mistakes, we are worthy of respect and love. Everyone makes mistakes in life. A therapist can help you find the tools you need to better understand your struggles and then work toward overcoming them.
Believing in yourself is a wonderful and powerful thing. Working towards finding self-respect and love can be a challenge. It takes work to learn to look past decisions, mistakes, and hurt, and still see a worthwhile person. There are times that working with a professional can help the process of learning self-respect and love. That professional can help you work through trauma and fully see the person that you have always been. It is easy to not see yourself as whole. Only seeing the negative will lead to a hard time seeing your worth. The Guest House is here to help you work on finding yourself and the love that you so rightfully deserve.
