💁🏽‍♀️From stuck + struggling ➡️ I can do anything
👇🏼 start here!

❤️Moms! Happy Mothers Day! ❤️👇🏼👇🏼Here’s my wish for you not just today, but every day…..

That we not only take today to do something for ourselves, but decide to make ourselves a priority every single day. I know this sometimes sounds easier said than done - but with the simple steps below you can start to…

Feel more in control of your life
Do the things every day that you actually want to
Make progress towards your goals - getting healthier, losing the weight, getting to the gym, getting the job, starting the businesses etc..
Feel happier, more present and less resentful
Show up how you truly want to with your kids, at work, with your husband, friends etc. - because you’re not thinking about what you should have or wish you would have done, and you’re not blaming anyone for not doing it

We get one life - and the purpose of it is not just to please everyone else - but to please ourselves, AND to live it to the fullest. We can’t do that if we’re always putting ourselves last and taking the time that’s left over (which is usually none)

Here’s how you start..

1️⃣Make a choice. Decide you’re going to make and take time for you - and why you want to
2️⃣Decide what priorities for YOU are - what are a few things you want to be making and taking time for that you’re not?
3️⃣Pick a few non negotiables that you want to do every day or week no matter what
4️⃣Plan them in at realistic time FIRST
5️⃣Set boundaries and make arrangements
6️⃣Say no to things that don’t align with your priorities and goals.
7️⃣Watch when you’re feeling guilt or bad about saying no or prioritizing yourself. Remember every time we say yes to someone or something else that doesn’t, we’re saying no to ourself. Would you rather make yourself feel bad so someone else doesn’t? The key is to let them handle their feelings and you handle yours.

Guilt is caused by old thought patterns usually starting with “I should be…” but you *should* be doing whatever you decide you want to be.

Have you made the decision to prioritize yourself and live YOUR best life? Now is the perfect time and there’s *always* a way to make it work.

Let me know below, and if I can help with this. Send me a message :)
