There's an all too common misconception that has insidiously speeded it's way into the collective belief system; Taking care of yourself is selfish. I hear it from clients all the time and I even used to feel that way too!
Here's a little secret to being a better,more powerful person;Put yourself first.
What was your reaction upon reading that last sentence? Did a bit of anxiety present itself?Did you think I was crazy or that such a notion is just utterly selfish?
Well,I invite you,just for a moment, to hear me out on this one as a nutritionist and yoga teacher ,I make it my mission to
empower others to transform their lives and this staits by placing themselves on top of their priority list.
Here are four samples reasons why taking care of yourself makes you a better person:-
1.Only you can identify and meet your needs.
No one is going to do it for you and no one can help you if you don't know what you need help with! If bein so frazzled that lashing out at your partner,children or the check out person at store is common occurrence, I'm definitely speaking righ to you,identify what needs in your life aren't being met and gather the resources to meet them.
2.Your only responsible for you.
-Period your thoughts actions,beliefs and reaction are yours and you can not control those of others.Cultivating a deeper relationship with yourself through various self-care activities that are truly delight and nourish you is the only way I know to get in touch with these thoughts and the driving forces behind activities,beliefs and reaction, you give yourself the freedom and permission to let go of the fluft and get to the heart of what you're really all about in life.
3.When you take care of yourself ,It is in fact ,selfless.
By ensuring your needs are met and you are truly nourished on all levels,you are more peaceful,more energized, and heathier.this in turn allows you to more powerfully show up in yourlife for others and to do so in a manner that leaves you charged and not depleted.
4.What kind of example do you want to be for those around you?
Think of who look up to you and relies on your colleagues,children,partner,friends, etc. When you take a bold stand for yourself, it gives others the green light to do so..
