You Are Not Selfish

A lot of the work I do (with clients and myself) is focused on getting clear on what success looks like in YOUR life . . . and then having the courage to strive for THAT.

 

Not what your company thinks, or society thinks, or you see on Instagram or what everyone else is doing. Not what might be the easiest or most convenient path.


What will leave you feeling happier, more fulfilled and with no regrets at the end of the day? At the end of your life? What does success look like to YOU?

 

But what I often hear in response (and I 100% used to think this myself) is that it “feels selfish” to go for it.

If this is you, it's time for a reframe! It is not selfish to . . .

 

Take an hour by yourself in the morning to read, meditate or strategically plan your day before checking emails and getting pulled into everyone else’s needs because you know you feel calmer and more focused in your day when you do.

Disconnect in the evening and not responding to emails 24/7 because you want to make your personal time a priority, be present with your family, and stop constantly thinking about work.

 

Go all-in on a new career or business that excites you, even though it might be a change for your family and not what people expect you to do.

 

Have regular suppers as a family instead of being scheduled in activities every evening because the connection is important to you and having this space set aside matters just as much as anything else.

Or, keep strong boundaries to protect your precious time and energy because you know that when you are stressed out or rundown, the people around you get the worst of you.

So again, what does success look like for YOU?

 

 

And, hey, if you still feel selfish . . . perhaps the question is, So what? 😉
