Value Yourself & Your Time

If we spend our time only where we accomplish good for ourselves and the people we are with almost everything would change for the best. So often we resist what we truly want to do and do things to please others. The act of compassion does not mean compromising your needs and accepting poor or inappropriate behavior or doing things out of obligation, guilt or pressure. People choose their path, you are not obligated to be anywhere or do things that do not make you feel good.

Many of us were taught to put others first, the truth is you can not give authentic love or support to anyone unless you give to yourself first. Simple changes make big positive impact on our well being.

Tips to help you value your time:

1) Set clear boundaries for how quickly you return e-mails , texts and phone calls.

2) When asked to do or go somewhere, pause, thank the person and say, " Let me get back to you."

Do Not Say Yes under pressure.

3) No is an answer, no explanations.

4) Your time is as valuable as any one else's.

5) Distance yourself from energy vampires (people who suck the life out of you), if their company drains you, limit exposure. You can still love people from a distance!

I have been guilty of giving a crap way too much in my life, because I was taught to worry about what people think, it had become a way of life and seemed like there was no other way. "Oh my, what will the neighbors think....?" Through years of working on myself using efficient tools and techniques I am finally free, well, ( I occasionally fall off the wagon, but catch myself and get right back on track!) By changing my thoughts and destructive pattern of not loving myself enough and not listening to my gut (aka-intuition.) Sometimes stuff looks good on paper but is really challenging when you attempt to apply it to your daily...

I Matter

Yes! I said it, I don't care what you think of me. I don't care what you say about me either, and I will tell you why. As many of us in our childhood I was conditioned to put other's first. The "people" mattered most of all, later I wondered who the fuck these people really were and what they had to do with my life anyway. What strangers, neighbors, relatives and just about everyone else said or thought had importance, my voice did not, what I felt was always pushed down. My voice was stifled and my feelings ignored, now this is not a "poor me" story, but a story of growth. As I healed and did immense work on myself I discovered "I" mattered, my voice mattered and my feelings mattered. Simple gestures of self love towards myself helped me grow, here are a few I used: Scheduling myself for me time Eliminating toxic people from my circle Saying "NO" Doing only what brings me "Joy" and nothing out of obligation ...
