Do you find this to be true… that it’s more familiar to figure out how to serve clients and help family and friends, and not as familiar to put yourself first (and feel absolutely excited about it!!) and take that same energy and figure out how to be there for yourself?
Believe me, I know firsthand, especially with an energetic, inquisitive, and amazing 11-year-old son, marriage, and a business I love. What’s so interesting is that it can slip up on you. Before I know it, I’m doing and doing and more doing.
Coaching my VIP clients, preparing dinner, washing clothes, and THEN I remember … I wanted to go to my yoga class. Heck, I wanted to just lie on the couch and do nothing.
So I check my schedule for an opening to slip it in … not possible. So I put it on my calendar for the next morning… for sure.
Does this resonate with you … the breakneck pace of life? It seems like it’s happening to us, but we really are the architects of our reality. I know we haven’t been told that much. But we are.
We are the movers and shakers making our lives and the ones of those around us happen. They’ve told you for so long how much they need you. And you believe it and even like taking care of them… but many times, late at night right before you fall asleep…
when you have your own private thoughts, you long for, yearn for, a space that’s just for you to nestle in. A space unencumbered with demands, conversations, requests, deadlines, finding what’s lost, and even pleasant questions.
A space where you get to be with you for longer than a long bath and more private than a family vacation.
… A space for you.
This would be a gift to give yourself and a gift we get to teach them to give and honor for us as well. Whenever I do, it’s easy. It’s not like they say, “Don’t go…” Matter of fact, they support it. They know when I’m fed, when I feel good… everyone benefits.
So truth be told, between me and you, it’s up to me and you to stand for our self-care and honor ourselves. I really am the one who is making the decisions for my life. How about you? Self-care is the gift you’ve been looking to give yourself (that you owe yourself), because it connects us to our refueling station and reconnects us to our Source, success, and soul.
What excuse are you telling yourself about why you don’t put yourself first? Whatever it is, think of it this way … each time you do, you are making a commitment to…
… stay numb, on empty, heartbroken, stressed, and it ALL impacts your money, business, and alignment.
Consider this:
- You are the actual instrument of your craft. Even blades need to be sharpened for utmost efficiency. The same is true for you… not that you need to be sharpened. Instead, your instrument must be fine-tuned, laser accurate, with clear sight, operating on FULL.
- You deserve to be the force that stands for Y-O-U. We teach our clients to stand for themselves and to invest in their growth, skills, and business, through our programs—and we must follow this same prescription.
- The value you bring has far less to do with all that you are doing and far more to do with who you are being. It’s actually what makes the difference between you and others.
- The standard of success that you set for yourself is relative to so many different things for each of us. I just ask that one of them be the level and commitment you have to your own self-care and self-honor. You are so brilliant, and the transformation you are making on the planet is necessary.
To make it easy for you to say yes, or to exercise that muscle, I invite you to take a moment and really get present to what it will feel like to be replenished and pampered. Being a powerful decision maker. Serving from your overflow. Having a successful business, a rich life, and manifesting your wealth.
Sound good? Then consider joining me for a world-class luxury experience of replenishing, reconnecting, and choosing YOU first at the Spirit and Riches Replenishing Retreat.
Much love & respect,
Jenenne
