Hi There
I want to share something very personal. The reason I am sharing this is because it was brought to my attention that the change that I went through was so profound that people in my life noticed. Some wanted to know what happened. I also hope that I can help someone who was like me. I can help someone reach the piece of themselves where they can see they have worth.
In the famous words of Julie Andrews : “Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start…”
I did not like myself. I did not think I have any value.There was nothing of worth in my being. I was worthless. I was only as good as the works I can do for others, especially if I loved them. I was trying to be this version of me that was just unattainable. I ALWAYS fell short. It was EXHAUSTING!! I was tired ALL THE TIME. I was never TRULY happy or even content. I did not know who and what I am.
I was a good person, I did everything for everyone. I went out of my way for everyone. I rarely said no and I tried to make everything better for everyone… ALL THE TIME!!! Do yu think there was anyone doing this for me? NOOOOOOOO!!! If I asked for something it was usually taken with annoyance. Like I have no needs… How can I want something?
Being tired drains the life out you… I was tired of being tired. This is when I decided to start taking care of myself. The concept was hard for me to grasp. To me it meant I should be conceited, self absorbed, arrogant… O I can go on… But It Is NOT!!!!
Self-care means to take care of yourself so that you can take care of others!!! To have the energy to be a great wife! To laugh more and be a light to everyone around you. It is to exercise and take care of your body, mind and soul to be the best version of YOU to then reach and teach the people around you to do the same and be happy!! It really is that simple. By embracing self-care you automatically become a person people want to be around and the amount of QUALITY you bring to their environment can change their lives!!
Taking care of yourself is the most SELFLESS thing you can do for the people around you!! You have more to give and YOU enjoy it!!! Everyone WINS with SELF-CARE.
I urge you to start taking care of yourself and see how better you make the life around you. If not for you then do it for your kids, your husband, your family and friends!!
Keep Moving !!
Keep Taking Care Of YOU
