My favorite saying to my friends is: "Be Good To You"... I found as I aged and added not only work responsibility but extras such as kids, animals, husband's needs that in that mix of "stuff" I call my life I FORGOT about ME. At one point, 8 years ago, I had a teenie tiny melt down when someone at a business meeting asked me to describe Kim....Wow - should not have been a very difficult question but it was. Here I was 35 and I didn't know ME. Who was Kim? Not the mother, wife, sister, family member but the person. Who was she? I had no clue.
Today, I'm closer to that answer but still there are times I forget that if I don't care for me and "Be good to me" first then I'm not a very good person to ANYONE else...
You may not be able to stop the rain that falls into your life, but you can turn on your windshield wiper to clear away the frustrations, criticisms, and self-doubts that, like a drenching downpour, can obscure your vision and make it hard to see where you’re going.
When you’re feeling upset or when others aren’t valuing you, what helps you see clearly again? Taking some time alone? Meditation or prayer? Journaling? Exercise? Walking in nature? Watching an inspiring movie? Talking to a supportive friend? Scheduling a massage or a session with a life coach? Make a list of the tools that work for you so you don’t forget to put them into action when the storm clouds let loose.
Love to hear what YOU do!
Have a wonderful, safe weekend and "Be Good to You!" - for an added bit of fun and self goodness, you might want to check out Sandra Brown's contest this weekend - free books and movies (for me that's fun :)
All the Best -
