What you do for yourself, you do for others

What you do for yourself, you do for others

The habit of taking care of others can become something to hide behind. If you worry about other people constantly and put yourself last- what’s left for you?

I’ve watched my clients over the years fall into this trap. The problem is -it’s hard to pull away once you’ve committed. GUILT plays a major role. 

You might have been taught that putting you first is SELFISH. 

It’s not. It’s essential. What good are you to others if you are depleted, sick, tired and cranky? 

This is a good kind of selfish. 

Try this affirmation…

“I take care of myself, I have more energy to give to others, and get back a whole lot of energy in exchange.”
