Quite simply, when you think highly of yourself, the interactions you have with others will be positive in turn.
Your internal dialog and self-talk will be positive and encouraging, and that in turn will ripple outward. When you’re proud of yourself, you can gaze into a mirror and be happy with the person who’s reflecting back at you. That’s the relationship you have with yourself.

Every time you look into that person’s eyes and see sadness and disappointment reflected back at you, you’ll be reminded of how you dropped the ball and let them down.īut what about when you break a promise to yourself? It’s a lot easier to keep a promise to someone else than to yourself, isn’t it?Īfter all, if you break a promise to someone you care about, like a friend, family members, spouse, or child, there are going to be tangible repercussions.
