Listen Later

In this episode of Today, I Am Alive! Margaret shares with you the importance of focusing on yourself. Discover why you shouldn’t lose your self-worth and value by focusing on others, how to treat yourself as the most important person in your life and why self-awareness and meditation are the keys to a happier and healthier life.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Outside attractions and influences, especially today's social media, such as the internet, texting and notifications promote distraction and constantly beg for our focus and attention.

  • Often people spend far too much time focusing on their relationships with others, that they neglect the most important person of all, you. You are the most important person in your life.
  • The key to focusing less on others and more on yourself is self-awareness. The best way to achieve that is with solitude, meditation, mindful walking and by keeping a journal.
