Putting yourself first is not selfish like we've been taught.
It's how we stop running on empty and it's also how we can energetically be fulfilled,
Be fulfilled so that we can then give our energy to other people as well.
Now,
You have probably heard this before.
You've probably heard this before heaps and heaps of times,
But just cast your mind back because when we say yes to lots of people or even everyone that asks us,
Giving until there's not a lot left or until we're feeling low or flat or depleted,
Right?
I want you to know that this is normal because it's part of the human condition to want to Connect with others,
Right?
And it's very likely that you've been taught that your needs came last and others first,
Right?
That was the rule.
And so look after yourself when you notice the pull to say yes.
See if you can catch yourself just now and again.
Not every time.
It's not going to be possible.
We're not robots.
Robots can be programmed to do something again and again and again.
We're human.
We've had tough times.
We might have slept Really poorly,
We might have difficult neighbors and the list goes on and on and on,
Right?
So go easy on yourself.
And when you can do it now and again,
You're basically reclaiming that sense of self-connection that you deserve.
You really do.
