Journey to 40 continues

I am starting to feel like myself again. There is a me that I have fallen in Love with over the years she is so different from the me if the past she is quiet and peaceful but has a strong presence. I believe this comes from being at peace with myself and everything around me good or bad.

Over the last 6 to 8 month I have felt lost mainly in my thoughts, I have been consumed with what life is supposed to look like, how I show up as a mom, at work , as a girlfriend , a family member and a friend. I have realized lately the problem is I was trying to make everyone happy, though I have failed in many ways at it I was consumed with figuring out how to make it all happen.

I know now the problem is I needed to show up for myself first. Showing up for myself makes me ready and able to show up for everyone else in my life. Speaking for myself I am calmer, lighter, present and happier when I take care of me first.

How I am Showing up for my self Daily:

• Praying in the Morning
• Taking time to get dressed for work
• Making healthy breakfast and lunch choices during the week.
• Writing in my Gratitude Journal
• Blogging
• Working Out

How I plan to show up for my self regularly: monthly weekly or whenever I feel like it

• Self Care Days (full day for me)
• Church on Sundays
• Hair and nails done regularly
• Girls Day Monthly or every other month
• Nice Dinner or Lunch by myself every other month
• Read More
• Learn something new
• Saying no to things that do not serve me or make me happy.

Before you can be there for others you must first be there for you.

How are you showing up for you daily, weekly monthly? I would love to read.

If you haven’t been showing up for yourself lately this is your sign to start!

Until next time
