“The strongest thing you can be is yourself”.
This lady Bex was one of my favourite speakers at Alice | The Award Winning Social Media Confidence Coach🪩 Social Media School yesterday.
She was talking about energy and something she said really resonated with me:
If you are disconnected and running on empty, people can tell. It comes across.
I feel like this isn’t just in business but life as well.
We spend so much time looking after everyone else. Work, children, partners, parents, friends, the house… the list goes on.
And somewhere along the way, we end up at the bottom of the list.
But you can’t keep pouring from an empty cup.
When your energy is low, when you’re disconnected from yourself and when you’re constantly running on empty, it affects everything:
➡️ Your mood.
➡️ Your confidence.
➡️ Your patience.
➡️ Your relationships.
➡️ Even how you show up for the people you love.
Making time for yourself isn’t selfish.
🌻 Going for the walk.
🌻 Getting stronger.
🌻 Moving your body.
🌻 Sitting quietly for 10 minutes.
🌻 Doing something just because you enjoy it.
🌻 Saying no sometimes.
🌻 Taking a breath before you reach empty.
These things aren’t indulgent. They’re how you reconnect with yourself.
And I think that’s when you start to feel like you again.
Because…
The strongest thing you can be is yourself.
So maybe today, ask yourself:
Where am I on my own list?
And if the answer is right at the bottom…
Maybe it’s time to move yourself up a few places.
