Do you feel like you can put yourself first? Make decisions that feel authentic and right for you? It is easy to get caught up in what others think we should do, or what others expect of us, and end up crippled when it is time to make big decisions.
But when we choose ourselves first, we then begin to better not only ourselves but our relationships. We increase our self-worth and stop feeling that we have to behave in a certain way in order to please the other people in our lives. This allows us to be able to give more to our relationships because we are coming from a place of fullness, rather than pouring out what little we have left.
Sometimes we can be faced with very hard decisions when it comes to serving others, but be okay with choosing ourselves first, and setting a firm boundary. This will bring an immense feeling of freedom, where you don’t have to be plagued by shame, but rather walk confidently knowing you did what was right for you.
