Ep 32: Why Being Selfish Isn't Selfish
Episode description
Why Being Selfish Isn’t Selfish.
I feel like this is something that everyone can relate to, in one way or another, whether you're a parent or as a daughter or son or partner or friend or in a workplace.
There are so many ways that this can relate as far as, being a little bit selfish or really not selfish, putting yourself first and setting boundaries.
I have a recommendation for you today. Take time in the middle of your day to just step out of what you're doing.
So if you're in the office, go outside for a walk and look at the fresh air or if you're at home parenting, I don't know where you could go, maybe go into a closet or something, just take a few minutes to breathe and think for yourself and just get out of the situation and clear your head and then you can go back in feeling a bit better.
I want you to prioritize your physical health and your mental health and well-being first by doing what you need to do for yourself to fill your cup to keep you mentally happy and healthy and physically happy and healthy as well.
It can be a really hard thing to be ok with that because we can always come up with a million reasons as to why we shouldn't put ourselves first or we should put someone else first.
You shouldn't feel guilty about this, because what you're doing is you're investing in yourself.
And because of that, you might be feeling like you're being selfish. But what you're doing is you're prioritizing you. Then you’re showing up 100% and giving more to the people around you, whether that's your relationships, whether that's your work.
The point is you're able to show up and you're able to give more because you're not pouring from empty cup, you're pouring from this cup that's nourished and overflowing.
You can then pour way more into other people's lives.
