The long run
It’s time to make your life work for you! Stop putting yourself last, it only hurts you and everyone around you. Here’s what you should be aware of. First, know that changing your life is never a quick fix. If it was, it wouldn’t last very long. Second, find a process that works for you and will continue to work over time, something you can do for life. And lastly, make it all about you! You are the one who is going through the change, you have to deal with the initial guilt of putting yourself first and you are going to be the one doing all the work. But, everyone around you will reap the benefits. Can you see the goal line?
We are driven
Patience is key. Nobody is going to change you. You have to want it. We can be very hard on ourselves for failures yet forgive others easily. Could you imagine what would happen if we weren’t so hard on ourselves? We’d be unstoppable! Think about your kids and when they make mistakes. We tell them it’ll be ok and to be more cautious, aware, or careful next time. And the kids, happy as a clam. Build that relationship with yourself. Take that rug you’ve been sweeping everything under and shake it out.
Burn the ships
Don’t settle, be vulnerable, be patient, and be determined. In the same vein, make sure to celebrate the wins no matter how small. You deserve it all and you should gift that to yourself. Teach your children that it’s ok to put themselves first when they are grown. It’s a waterfall effect. When you are happy you’re nicer, when you’re nicer your kids are happier and so forth and so on. Do you remember thinking “I just hope my kid grows up to be happy and healthy”? Show them how to. Be unapologetically determined to be the best you for their future.
