If I ask you who is the most important person in your life, what would you say? Your parents, your children, your spouse?
What if I told you that the most important person in your life should be you. Does that make you feel triggered or annoyed?
It’s pretty natural to automatically say the people we love come before us and while it’s true our family and friends are very important when it comes to your healing and life you have to put yourself first.
Often putting everyone and everything before ourselves is what leads us to get sick. By not taking care of ourselves we are setting ourselves up for illness. How often do you say yes to something when really you want to say no? How many things do you have on your plate that take time away from yourself and those most important to you?
You see if our plates are full with everything else but what’s important to us that doesn’t leave a lot of space for ourselves and healing. In turn we have a much harder time taking care of ourselves. I know for myself I had to allow myself to say no to my family and friends so I could say yes to myself.
This doesn’t mean that you will shun your family and friends, it just means you will be clear about what you have time for and what you don’t.
In this week’s video, I talk about why you come before everything else and some steps to make it easier to say no.
Now I’d love to hear from you. In the comments below please share how are you going to put yourself first? What will you say no to or take off your plate?
Remember while obviously, the people you love are very important and you will take care of them and adjust your life for them. But if you don’t take care of yourself and provide yourself with what you need it will lead to you not being able to take care of anyone. It’s the old adage of to take care of others you have to take care of yourself first.
Thanks for watching and don’t forget to share below!
All my best,
Kyla
