How are you at putting yourself first? Are you there for everyone else? A generosity of spirit that knows no bounds?
Maybe you feel you're invincible......
Pitting yourself against the elements - with a 'bring it on' rallying cry
Walking a tightrope while juggling balls and plate spinning 🤹♀️💫
Or, is the juggling and spinning way out of control? Is that closer to the truth?
Among the many boulders that stop us in our tracks, we ourselves can - and do - get in the way of putting ourselves first. Here's a few to think about :
❌ being a workaholic perfectionist (guilty as charged)
❌ your passion for work becomes an obsession (ditto)
❌ at the back of the self-care queue (yep, again 🙄)
❌ what you believe to be true about yourself - without any evidence
❌ comparing yourself with authors of '2D' social media posts
So, what can you do about it? Here's some practical steps you can take💡
✔ be the most important person in your life
✔ put yourself first
✔ set boundaries that protect your energy (and sanity)
✔ start saying 'no' - and meaning it
✔ let go of 'shoulds' and 'musts' (+ any other guilt trips disguised as obligations)
Think about what your 'non-negotiables' are.....those things that are absolutely sacrosanct to you ⛔
What are the 'must haves' for you to really thrive? 🌱
When you know, let them guide you - always. If you wander, reset that compass 🧭
Live life fully - on your 'terms' 🎯
