That feeling of why do I deserve to put myself first over everyone else? The yucky gunky guilt that arises when you even think about saying no or setting a boundary or not doing more work. Remember that when you don't take care of yourself, you cannot take care of others with your whole heart. Sometimes we think if when we start putting ourselves first we think that we're going to go into this mental space where no one else's needs matter + we'll become this narcissist....that AINT gonna happen. As you focus on your own health and mental wellbeing, you are teaching everyone else how to do this for themselves too. Lead by example. Letting go of the belief that giving to others is why I am worthy. A false idea that putting yourself first is just the joyful, peaceful activities -- it's also the hard things like taking care of our finances + setting boundaries. Really get to know yourself + what your needs are. Start creating energetic boundaries + call back all the pieces of yourself + return the ones that aren't yours. Setting verbal boundaries with loved ones, work, anyone in your life + using communication all along the way. Remember you can't change anyone else, but yourself + you can only control you. You are so much kinder to others when you nourish yourself + you just radiate this glow + make people feel good just by entering a room.
