It’s time to uplevel up your Self Importance so you can add more value

Do you want to rely on someone else to tell you that you are important? Or will you tell yourself that you are important?

If you choose to wait for others to tell you (maybe because you think this is the more humble option) what are the consequences?

Waiting for validation from others usually results in self-doubt and wasted time. If other’s need to validate your importance, you will be hesitating in how you show up and everyone will experience a more vague, limp version of you.

This week’s episode on the Female Inner Power podcast (Season 2 Episode 4) is all about Self Importance. I highly encourage you to listen to the full 17 minutes.

?

And in case you are in a hurry, here are a few key points:

?

?

? Self-importance is not about ego or superiority, but rather about recognizing the significance of our own lives and being deliberate in our actions and thoughts. It's about honouring ourselves and understanding our ability to make a positive impact on others.

?

?? Societal pressure to be a "good girl" and meet everyone's expectations often leads to prioritizing others' happiness, keeping the peace, and striving to be more perfect than perfect. This then leads to a tendency to seek validation from others, which can result in self-doubt and wasted time. The antidote to this is knowing that you are important no matter what.

?? By trusting ourselves, taking care of ourselves, and doing our best, we create a ripple effect that benefits everyone around us.

?

?? When we know our own significance, we can show up as the best version of ourselves, bringing more joy, love, and support into our relationships and work.

?

?? Being self-important does not mean eliminating fun or joy. In fact, embracing joy and feeling alive is an essential part of recognizing our own value. When we infuse our actions with joy and enjoyment, we make a bigger impact in the world and radiate positivity to those around us.

And to take the insights deeper and actively uplevel your self importance journal on these questions:

?

1.????When I think of upleveling my self importance I feel afraid that I will become….?And other will think….

2.????I “benefit” from keeping myself less important because then I don’t have to…. (We always have a vested interest in keeping the status quo. This is mostly unconscious, but by journaling on this question you will get a lot of insights into why you are staying with things as they are)

3.????If I am really going to act according to the fact that how I use my time and energy matters, because actually I am important, then going forward I will a) be more deliberate with ….. ?b) stop wasting time/energy on …… 3) speak up or take action towards ….

?

Remember, when you embrace your self-importance, take care of yourself, and honour your own needs, you become more valuable to those around you.
