Sometimes we have a hard time saying yes to ourselves because of the pushback and feedback we may get from others. We worry about how much shifting our focus inward may negatively affect our relationships. We may even be worried we will be called selfish or self centered. But consider this, everything starts with you. You can’t show up for others until you show up for yourself first. Pour love, kindness, care, grace, joy and compassion into your cup, and that’s what you will overflow from you into others. It all starts with you. The more you show up for yourself, the more you can show up for others.
Putting yourself first and saying Yes to Yourself is not selfish—it is Self-Full.
Have you received any pushback or negative feedback from others when you put yourself first? Have you talked yourself out of putting yourself first for fear of how it would affect others? We want to hear about it!!
