Are You Treating Yourself as THE Most Important Person In Your Life?
If you’re asking yourself how you can do that without being selfish, you’re asking the wrong question.
The question to ask yourself is “WHY does what I want and need make me feel guilty?”.
What you focus on is what you get more of.
As women it’s in our nature to nurture and to take care of others. And putting yourself first isn’t about taking away from others. In fact it’s about adding to who you are so that you can really show up in the way you want to.
I’m sure you’ve heard the proverbial and, well, almost cliché example of airlines telling you to put on your oxygen mask fist. And while it’s true, you HAVE to take care of yourself before you take care of others, in my opinion that example doesn’t go far enough, its very nature is about SURVIVING.
And yes, self care is important, but I’d like to invite you to take it a step further than just the basics, and to focus on THRIVING. To focus on what lights your soul on fire. To focus on living your life in a way that makes you feel whole, abundant and energetic.
And when you do that, everyone in your life benefits, especially you!
I hope today’s episode inspires you to also treat yourself as THE most important person in your life, and to make the decisions that work for you, and that get you on the path to creating the life you want to live.
That’s what Living Forward is all about!
Journaling & Reflection Exercise
Our handout today is a little bit different, instead of a “how to”, I’m giving you a reflection exercise with journal prompts to help you get really clear on the big and little things that matter to you, and where you may be holding yourself back so that you can break through it.
