Self-respect means valuing yourself enough to take care of your needs and feelings. Boundaries are the practical expression of this respect. They show that you understand your worth and refuse to settle for less than you deserve.

Alignment is not about perfection. It’s about congruence. It’s the harmony between what you believe, what you choose, and how you show up. Shrinking happens subtly. You soften your voice. You delay your dreams. You edit your truth to keep the peace. But every time you do, you send a signal—not just to others, but to yourself—that who you are is negotiable.

Persistence is more than repetition. It’s staying committed to the intention you set, even when distractions, doubts, or delays threaten to pull you off course.
