Being BOLD means Standing Up for Yourself

Wellness: physical, mental, spiritual, relational, financial...there are lots of areas that are covered under the umbrella of the term wellness. Without some balance, prioritization, and mindfulness, it's easy to become overwhelmed and not feel great about things in our lives. Because it's something we need to notice (and live with) every day, it's more of a practice than a thing to have, don't you agree?!

I believe that Being BOLD means Standing Up for Yourself.

Standing up for yourself? YES! How many times have you put yourself second, third, fourth, or further down the list, below your family, your friends, your boss, even strangers, or your pets??

We MUST take care of ourselves with a strong and consistent wellness practice if we are to be our best for ourselves AND for others.

I want you to start saying YES to yourself!! It's not always easy to do, but I invite you to notice when you might be living with some fuzzy boundaries, or when you automatically allow others to come before you without even noticing it until afterward. You get to decide, to choose, where you prioritize yourself. Maybe it's taking the time for a walk when you could just as easily tell yourself that you HAVE to answer some emails. Maybe it's putting the phone on airplane mode while you have some family time after dinner. Or maybe it's actually doing some work when you would like to be watching Netflix (like I am right now!) - because saying YES to what we want to grow in our business can also be standing up for ourselves and our future! My example for today: after I'd already watched half the episode, I decided that the Harry and Megan documentary would have to wait until later so I could craft this message to you.?

Because YOU get to decide to do the things that support you and your life and your wellness. Decide now how you will do that for the rest of today, then think about tomorrow, and then the upcoming weekend. Create a vision of your wellness. Set a goal. Take a step.?

YOU can stand up for yourself with a BOLD choice for YOU
