Have you ever heard the saying, “You’ve got to fall in love with yourself first?”

Many women reject this idea, but the truth is, the longest relationship you will have during your time on this earth is the relationship you have with yourself. Therefore, nurturing yourself is highly important, and if you want to have a life that is together, abundant, and truly in alignment, you must put yourself first.

This week we’re chatting about putting yourself in first position after receiving a question from Margaret in Austin, Texas about how to hold space for ourselves and not feel guilty!

TAKE A MOMENT TO RELAX AND ALLOW THESE WORDS TO SETTLE IN YOUR MIND, HEART, AND SOUL.

Find a comfortable position and take a full deep breath. Take the time you need to become comfortable. Allow your mind and body to relax. 

The present moment holds the keys that unlock your freedom from anxiety, from suffering, from anything that works against you. You can only feel free, peaceful, content, safe and happy in this now moment. This is all that exist. The things you dream of, and the things you fear are nothing but a thought and a feeling combined in your imagination. There is no future in which we experience today. When we do experience the dream we want, it will not be in the future. It's in the now. You have a choice of how you show up in the now, how you live, how you create happiness and joy.

Did you know that emotions are contagious? We’ve all burst into laughter because someone is laughing, or maybe you cry when someone else starts to cry, even when you don’t have a reason to. We all take on the emotions around us—which is a different spin to catching feelings…

Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into how easy it is to become the emotional energy around you and how the negatives impact you. I’m handing over a tool to help you know when an emotion is yours to carry and when it’s not. We’ll wrap it all up with how to shield yourself from catching feelings we would rather not touch.

Self-doubt is something we all experience. It doesn't matter what our background looks like, how good we are at something or lacking, self-doubt still has a way of finding its way in. Kendell wrote: “I'm dealing with self doubt. I know that I can get myself out of it, but it seems to keep coming back. I was hoping that you could provide some kind of information as to maybe a secret or a way to deal with self-doubt that is different than what I'm finding on Google.”

Find a comfortable position and take a full deep breath. Take the time you need to become comfortable. Allow your mind and body to relax.

In life, we often face uncertainty, the unknown. The best place to go is not into a spiral of thought or shame, but a state of connection within the mind and body. To do so, you must find a state of relaxation and welcoming.

Allow this mind and body meditation to guide you into the deepest inner connection. The unknown does not have to drive your mind wind; it can be a state of deep peace.

Let this take you there.

Three words: emotional self-abandonment—it hits you right in the gut. Doesn’t it? Emotional self-abandonment happens when you feel neglected, ignored, or dismissed by the significant people in your life, such as a parent, partner, or your closest friend. When the feeling grows large enough, it takes over and leads to feeling alone, inadequate, small, disconnected, lacking self-worth and trust, and many other negatives.

So, today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into why we self-abandon as we piggyback on feeling disconnected and staying with ourselves over the last two weeks. We are building a better feeling you.

You are a masterpiece of light, love, infinite beauty, and peace. This light is your energy, your soulful, most authentic self.

In this understanding, you can claim all that you are and honor your inner light that has helped you rise above darkness, hard times, and negativity. If you are not willing to give your very best, life is not going to offer much in return. Within each hour, day, week, and month, there is a time for everything. There is a time for letting go of self-destruction. There is a time for building and growing. There is a time for motion and rest. There is a time for wellness. There is always time for whatever is to be. That is if you make and take the time, and that begins with honoring your very being.

Feeling connected to yourself and the five master areas of your life is essential as it shows the value you place within yourself. With disconnected, there’s a tendency to lose sight of who you are, what you want, and most certainly what you need.

That’s why you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into what it means to feel disconnected, and we’re taking small steps to take the journey home to the self.

Let’s get right to it.

Negativity from another person is bad enough, but when it comes from inside your head, it’s tough to hear! Your inner conversation, the monologues that run through your mind and generally right out of your mouth, can cause heartache and a spiral of negativity.

Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into why how you speak to yourself matters, the toxic impact of negative self-talk, and then, we will talk about how to change the negatives into neutrals, then positives once and for all.

Let’s get right to it.
