The Art of Choosing You The Path of Me
-
- Self-Improvement
There have been so many pivot points in my life where I had to choose me. It didn't come easily at first, I was literally lower than the dog on the priority list after kids, husband, household, chauffer, cook, work, dogs then me. I put myself there because my programming told me that's where I belonged.
REFLECTING BACK
I was thinking yesterday of how many times I had to choose myself to get here. To become fully empowered and own and claim my worthiness required so many micro and macro choices, choosing myself and what was best for me over and over without compromising myself. I got SO MUCH push back from everyone around me because I stopped serving them in the way they were used to.
I cooked less, I took time for myself, I bought myself flowers. Once I began pouring love into myself and finding my self worth (which is inherent not earned or achieved), it became easier and easier to say no to things that cost me my integrity, my truth, and my alignment with my SOUL!
This is a reminder to be brave and courageous as you navigate forward in life. You ARE WORTHY of that trip, of that manicure, of that dozen roses or night out with friends. You are given a choice, don't be afraid to make it.
THE PUSHBACK
The more practiced you become in choosing you, the bigger the choices become. It's not just about taking yourself out for a coffee with a friend, it becomes questions around everything you are choosing. Is this job toxic, is this relationship toxic, are my friends really true friends? Boundaries naturally follow as you protect your energy and time and nurture yourself.
People who benefitted from your service and unyielding commitment to others at your own expense will NOT like it when you stop existing to meet their expectations. Brace for the fall out and stand in your power.
THE GIFT
I've found that as I choose myself and honor my time and energy, things come together and align for my highest and best. Life comes into a more flow state. It takes time, it takes consistent choosing of what supports me, but I know in the end, even with hard calls and boundaries, I'm better for it. Be bold and brave as you navigate those tight narrow hard spaces and know that the world is waiting for you!
