This easy Self-Love Recipe is a powerful process that will lead you through awareness, emotional literacy, acceptance, forgiveness, and commitment. You will need: 4 cups commitment 3 cups determination 12 ounces self-confidence 4 teaspoons of focus and intent 4 cups of gentleness (can be substituted with kindness) 3 cups of self-acceptance 10 teaspoons of gratitude 5½ cloves of forgiveness 6 teaspoons of baby steps 7 cups of mindfulness 3 tablespoons personal boundaries, sifted 4 handfuls of compassionate homies Water Directions: 1. In a large pot over medium heat, coat the utensil with SELF-CONFIDENCE. Add DETERMINATION and COMMITMENT and season with FOCUS and INTENT. 2. Cook, stirring often-at light speed, for ten minutes, until the ingredients are completely set. 3. While it cooks, in a separate, smaller pan, cook GENTLENESS and SELF-ACCEPTANCE until thawed. Then quickly fold into the main mixture(in the large pot) until completely engulfed. 4. Add GRATITUDE and FORGIVENESS and cook until the fragrance is released. 5. Add BABY STEPS and stir until the main mixture thickens. Then, add a little WATER to hydrate and prevent the ingredients from burning out. 6. Lastly, pour MINDFULNESS, a little at a time into the boiling stew while stirring. This is the most delicate phase— over-stirring can break the bonds that hold the ingredients together, but less than occasional stirring will make it dry and fossilized. Once it thickens, allow it to boil for a few minutes. 8. Garnish with COMPASSIONATE HOMIES before serving. 9. Serve with a side of warm, 100% guilt-free PERSONAL BOUNDARIES. Recipes are guidelines. Modify them as you see fit and enjoy every mouthful. The most important part is to ensure you prioritize yourself, in a healthy, non-egoistic way. Remember to be gentle with yourself when learning new things. If you forget to do it, just try again tomorrow.

Why should people respect themselves?

In honor of National Service Week, the brothers of beta have come together to create this short video about "Respect for Self" on Pitt's campus.
