Learn the importance of prioritizing yourself: When you realize your needs matter too

Key takeaways:  The Benefits of Prioritizing Yourself

1. More Energy & Better Health: Through movement, proper nutrition, and self-care

2.  Improved Mental Health & Clarity: 

   Through mindfulness, journaling, or simply sitting with your thoughts, you’ll find greater clarity in what you really want and need.

3. Increased Confidence:  

   Confidence to set boundaries, say no when necessary, and truly own your time. When you stop letting the world dictate your schedule and goals, you become more in control of your life.

4. Stronger Relationships:  

   By focusing on your own well-being, you actually strengthen your relationships with others. When you take care of yourself first, you’ll be able to give more love, attention, and support to others because you’re not running on empty.

How to Start Prioritizing Yourself:  

1.  Shift Your Mindset:  The first step to prioritizing yourself is giving yourself permission to do so. You have to believe that you are worthy of time, care, and attention. Challenge any guilt or self-judgment that comes up when you start focusing on yourself. It’s okay to say no to others and say yes to yourself.

2.  Identify What’s Truly Important to You:  

Sit down and reflect: What’s missing in your life? What would make you feel more fulfilled?  Identify the areas in your life that need more attention, and set goals that are aligned with your true values.

3.  Set Boundaries:  Saying no to things that drain your energy or take away from your personal time. It’s about carving out space for yourself and protecting that space unapologetically.

4.  Create Daily Rituals/Routines:  Routines create consistency and structure around self-care. Set up a simple morning or evening routine that’s just for you. It could be 10 minutes of journaling, stretching, or enjoying your coffee in silence before the day starts. These small acts signal to your brain that your well-being is important.

5.  Take Action on Your Health:  Regular exercise, nourishing food, and proper rest are foundational to feeling your best. Start with small, achievable steps—add a 10-minute walk to your day, focus on drinking more water, or try a new healthy recipe this week. When you feel good in your body, it’s much easier to show up for yourself and others.

6.  Accountability:  Find a community or a coach—someone who can encourage you, remind you of your goals, and celebrate your progress. Surround yourself with people who support your decision to prioritize YOU.
