Are you good at prioritising yourself
Prioritising yourself means giving yourself attention in time
By which I mean at a certain time you are going to focus on something to do with you
Prioritising yourself isn’t to do with being selfish
that’s when we push it away
Oh I couldn’t possibly prioritise myself
I’m not selfish
But prioritising yourself doesn’t mean that you are selfish
or self absorbed or narcissitic
You could put a time in your diary
like 3.30pm on a Thursday
and at that time do what you need to do
What do you need to do for yourself
There is always something
If you want to achieve anything in life
you have to focus on it give it some attention
and prioritise it
If you want to look good and feel good too
you need to prioritise the time that you are going to devote to that
Looking good is not selfish, it’s intrinsically tied up in your identity
who you are and how you are in this world
Sometimes women avoid prioritising themselves
because there is something they want to avoid
Is there anything you want to avoid
You need to get those feelings out before you can start to prioritise yourself
Write them down
all those feelings
Just get them out on paper
Then look at all those feelings
and deal with them
Prioritising yourself comes from
Self Acceptance self love self understanding
If you’re avoiding mirrors
not planning what to wear
not enjoying wearing your clothes
not feeling that you are approaching life in a way that you can totally embrace it
you need to deal with that stuff on the paper
The good news is that when you deal with it
you will feel great
Lighter
You’ll be able to prioritise yourself
and feel amazing
Finding your unique you is a great thing
You’ve found yourself
You’ve met yourself
And that’s the start of a whole new journey
