If People are not Respecting you, This is the Quickest Way to Gain Respect
Visualize this:
You are on a walk and you see the cutest golden retriever.
Your first instinct is to ask the owner if you can pet them. Why do you think that is an appropriate question? Well the physical manifestation before you: walks like a dog, barks like a dog, smells like a dog, looks like a dog, and acts like a dog.
Just as quickly as you judged the dog and figured to respond to the situation, these are the same cues people look for to judge you and decide in an instant how to approach you appropriately.
How do you walk? How to talk? How do you smell? What is your fashion sense? What are your mannerisms? How do you carry yourself in situations regarding different scenarios?
The Key is Mindfulness
When you become more mindful of your mannerisms, you become a magnet to situations, people, places, and events attracted by the vibration you are putting out. Like attracts like, perfectly explained in the context of the Law of Vibration.
The energy we emit through our thoughts, feelings, and actions resonates with similar energies in the universe, thereby attracting similar experiences or outcomes in our lives. If someone consistently has positive thoughts and feelings, they are more likely to attract positive experiences and opportunities into their life because they are aligned with the frequency of positivity.
Conversely, if someone is predominantly focused on negative thoughts and emotions, they may attract more negativity into their life because their vibrational frequency is aligned with negative energies.
This principle emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and focusing on what one desires, as this will align their vibe with the desired outcome.
Actionable Next Steps
If you want to attract people who also value luxury, class, and the finer things in life…take notice of: their slower-paced walk, their attractive cologne or perfume, makeup/hair done, who are consistently well-dressed despite the occasion, speak with eloquence and tend to be mindful of their personal and professional presentation.
Like attracts like.
If you want to attract creative people who value the autonomy of free expression…put yourself in situations that would attract them: wearing your unique fashion sense, going to art galleries, attending fashion shows, using mediums such as photography, creating music, singing, writing, dance, hair styling, painting, acting, makeup, etc.
The paramount matter of it all is to be the vibration that is genuine to you.
With love, I advise you not to be something you are not, but to be the most authentic version of yourself regardless of the flavor and what it looks/feels like. People most respect those who know who they are and where they are going. When we sacrifice our truth and authenticity, we attract shallow relationships and unsatisfying encounters.
When we embrace our authenticity and mindfully create the life of our dreams by placing our awareness of our truth and expressing it through actions; we invite those who appreciate and value us for who we truly are.
What I’m trying to convey is: BE WEIRD. Be YOUR kind of weird. People are trying to find you. Not everyone is going to respect you but the intention is not to attract everyone, but to attract your people.
Self-respect is the best respect
How do you respect yourself? How do you treat yourself? How do you value yourself? Ultimately you are teaching people how to respect you through boundaries, upholding your standards, and having the strength (and sometimes audacity) to say NO when you truly mean no.
How you carry yourself speaks volumes. Take a moment to assess your self-value and your self-worth. People who also value themselves will respect you because they know what it takes mentally, physically, and spiritually to tune into their highest expression.
We define things as valuable with the meaning we give them. So give yourself that meaning, give yourself that value. People will treat you as the king or queen that you are — the way you see yourself.
Most people are repeating the pattern of their childhoods with others despite its negative or positive connotations. With that awareness, I trust you can choose the decision, people, places, and situations that respect you for your truth.
Closing thoughts
If people don’t respect you, that’s even more powerful because as you embark on this path of self-empowerment, there will be the inevitable polarity: the quality or condition inherent in a body that exhibits opposite properties; which translates to — you will have cheerleaders and you will have haters. If everyone liked you, you’re doing something wrong, you aren’t living with enough conviction.
You know you are vibing correctly when you are met with opposition. Because sometimes the only reason some people are in your life is to be on the sidelines watching you shine.
Walk with love, walk in power.
