OMG - It's Time to Take Care of ME!!

/

Do you catch yourself putting everything and everyone else before yourself? There was a time when I thought that was a good thing and self care was selfish. I had something I like to call The Cinderella Syndrome: When you do do do for others and take care of yourself last. I would always find the time, effort and energy for others and put myself on the back burner.  I would say yes to everyone else and no to myself. I was constantly burnt out and exhausted, even with a smile on my face. I hardly recognize that girl now. I say yes to myself easily and say no to others demands on my time when it's not in alignment with what I want.

I love the airplane analogy to help keep myself on point. They tell you to put your own oxygen mask on even before you put the mask on your child. If you can't breathe, you're can't help anyone else. Self care is like oxygen. Taking care of yourself first allows you to help others. Without self care you are operating on an empty tank. You can't fill someone else's tank, when you're out of gas. 

Also, remember this -- your external circumstances are often a reflection of what's going on internally. So when you're internal environment is chaotic or focused on lack, your life and business will reflect this. If you are feeling peaceful and abundant inside, your life and business will reflect that as well. 

Yes, I know - it's easier said than done. However waiting to take care of yourself doesn't make it any easier. Self care is not selfish, it's self fuel. How can you show yourself some much needed TLC today?

Intentional Breathing Exercise

I love breathing with intention. It's a beautiful way to give yourself some TLC. If you'd love to join me, find yourself a comfortable position. Set a timer for 3 to 10 minutes. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Inhale and exhale, deeply and fully. Silently repeat….

Inhale "Peace"

Exhale "and Ease"
