Wednesday, 2/8 – Respect Your Worth
Respect is an essential part of any healthy relationship. I deserve kindness & respect in my relationships. Let me know what you are about in relationships! #beaboutit #tdvam23 #tdvam • Everyone benefits when you seek ways to empower and respect one another. It’s empowering to know your worth and know you are creating a better sense of community for yourself and others. Educate others on how worthy you are. #lovelevelup #safespace
Thursday, 2/9 – Create Respect
Journaling, meditating, creating art, or listening to music are all great options to spend time with your thoughts and feelings. Check out art from our partner and ways they are empowering teens & young adults to find their voice: • “Respect means loving myself enough to have boundaries and sticking by those boundaries.” Your action item for today: create & share art that expresses what respect, love, & kindness look like to you. Be sure to tag @loveisrespect! #tdvam #lovelevelup #safespace
Friday, 2/10 – Respect Self-Care
Reminder: there is no wrong way to practice self-care! Whether you like to take walks, or pet your dog, or do a little dance, you’re loving and respecting yourself. What’s your favorite way to practice self-care? #beaboutit #tdvam. To be in a healthy relationship, we each need time for ourselves and our own interests. How do you take care of yourself? #beaboutit #tdvam • Respect for yourself is the first step to self-care. You don’t need someone to always be there for you. Instead, you should be there for yourself & realize if you respect yourself, your partner will respect you too. #beaboutit #tdvam23 #tdvam • As we finish up Respect Week, listen to music that encourages self care and post your music using these @loveisrespect! #tdvam #lovelevelup #safespace
