*Good morning
You are the most important person in your life.*
Who holds the number 1 spot on your VIP list of important persons?
Before you start putting down names;
It should be YOU.
I know this is difficult to believe. I didn’t for a VERY long time.
It took me a lifetime to even begin to believe an ounce of that statement was true.
We’re taught, caring for yourself is selfish. We’re made to believe sharing your feelings is weak.
What a bunch of hogwash.
The truth is You matter. You deserve to take care of yourself.
Taking care of yourself is the best way to give more of yourself to others.
Giving to others is like using fuel.
Fail to fuel back up, and before you know it, you’ll be sitting, idle, exhausted, and running on empty.
So, how do you fill your car’s gas tank.
Our body is no different.
To fill our body’s gas tank, we must give it the fuel it needs
Fuel is whatever makes you happy.
I like to call this “Filling Your Cup”.
To fill your cup, the first thing you need to do is ask yourself, “What gives you life and energy”?
It can be anything.
Playing a sport, hanging out with friends, working out, meditation, long walks, reading, music, the list goes on.
Whatever it may be, there is only one rule. It must be something that gives you joy.
Like any new habit, start small.
Begin filling your cup a few minutes per day.
Set aside time each day dedicated to you.
Putting yourself first may feel uncomfortable initially.
It did for me and still does at times.
We’ve been hard-wired for many years to take care of others first.
But soon enough, when you begin regularly filling your cup, you’ll find you have more of yourself to give to others.
You are important to life.
Take time to shut out the world and take care of you.
Create a ritual where you go within yourself to create a space of joy, peace and healing as a process of centering yourself.
Leave behind the worry, and stresses of life, if only for a while, around work, money, relationships, family, heath etc and focus only on things that build a stronger you.
Your life matters,
You are important,
Follow your heart, do what your soul desires, enjoy your week & stay blessed forever.
This post really shows how important you are in life ❤️
