I’m sure you’ve heard this before somewhere, but I think it bears repeating because so many of us women don’t follow this and instead, we give everyone everything and leave little for ourselves.
I know the buzz is all about “self-care” right now, but I want to offer you a deeper thought process behind this.
You are your own best investment. Your best asset.
There is no one on this planet who is as invested in your success than yourself!
No one will ever love you more than you love yourself or care for you more than you care for yourself {We’re not exploring co-dependent relationships right now, that’s for another blog. LOL}
This means that you are responsible for creating the life you have and the life you want.
You are the only one who knows your dreams and hopes and can reach them.
Only you my dear.
Look, this is barring of course any unhealthy/toxic/dysfunctional relationships you may be in now. While I still believe you have the power to leave this situation, I recognize that this may take more than a pep talk, which I totally get.
Globally speaking, you do have all the power within yourself to reach your goals and to better your situation.
Is there anyone more worth it than you? Is there anyone who is going to champion yourself more than you?
I would say NO.
You know yourself best which means you have so much more power than you’re possibly using.
Want to make money? Can you ask for that raise? Can you go to college and start on your degree?
Want to feel better? Can you look at your day and make better choices that make you feel better? (Less diet coke and more water, for example?)
In a relationship that makes you feel crazy and exhausted all the time? Can you break things off with this person or at least have a conversation with them about how defeated you’re feeling?
Not getting enough sleep? Can you look at your sleep habits and try new habits that may help you sleep more and better?
Do you see the common denominator in all of these challenges? YOU!
As Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz always says (and our favorite motto here at EC), “You’ve always had the power my dear!”
All it takes is you taking a step forward in the direction you’d like to go in. Just one little one, every day, consistently and over time you will begin to BE the change you’ve always dreamed of.
No one else can do that for you and remember (I like to tell my clients this), the time is going to pass by anyways so why not make it count?
We also recognize though that sometimes we need an extra set of eyes on us to remind us if we have blinders on or have some speed bumps coming ahead. That’s where we come in. If you need a partner in the investing of your own best asset (YOU, MY LOVE), we’ve got you! You can schedule here online any time of the day or night. We will be honored to help you achieve your goals and dreams. See you soon!
