How to Create A Life of Self-Care (That is NOT Selfish!)

create a life of self-care that is not selfish


This is YOUR Year

 

Girlfriend, 2020 is here! Not only is it a new year, but it is a new decade with a fresh start and new beginning.  This is your reminder that it is never too late to start, or to start over, with anything in your life. This is YOUR year if you want it to be, so claim it! (Seriously, repeat after me right now, out loud: “This is going to be my year, I feel it and I am ready!”)

 

There is no better moment than right now to be believe in yourself more, and to be confident with a little sass in your life. You have been growing your wings, through both great times and challenging times, but it is time to FLY, which stands for First Love Yourself.

 

Prirotize yourself and your happiness

 

Imagine what your life would look like if you decided to prioritize yourself and your happiness, instead of making it an option? Sounds incredible, right?!

 

To help you get started, rather than encouraging you to create new goals, I challenge you to make new commitments. Goals are something that you want to do whereas commitments are something that you will do.

 

Why self-care commitments matter

 

As a new year begins, it is easy to focus on health and fitness goals, but what about self-care commitments? Self-care is not selfish, it is absolutely necessary!

 

You give so much to others, so know that it is important that you pour back into yourself and start doing more things just for you, that make you happy and without guilt.

 

Self-care is not selfish, it is absolutely necessary!

 

List 20 things that are making you happy… right now!

 

How do you start? You can create a self-care practice by prioritizing time for yourself with intentional, acts of kindness that nourish you and empower you. To begin, get out a piece of paper and list 20 things right now that make you happy.  Yes, 20!

 

Get creative beyond bubble baths and spa days. Think about the simple things in life that make you happy, as well as the more luxurious things and experiences.  Be open-minded and write this list freely without judgement.  There are no right or wrong answers…only what feels important to you in your heart.  Remember, this list can be as luxurious or simplistic as you desire!

 

Here are some examples that we love:

 

  • Treat yourself to a dozen fresh flowers each week! Find some small vases and put a few stems by your bed, in your bathroom, in the kitchen and on your desk.

 

  • Savor your delicious cup coffee in the morning, while it is hot.  Avoid multitasking and allow yourself to sip in silence, if that brings you joy.

 

  • Give your body and skin some major TLC!  Lather up your favorite lotion and gently massage your gorgeous body as you boost your confidence by telling yourself how amazing you are, while appreciating your body in the moment.

 

  • Use the word “no” as a complete sentence and politely avoid committing to being somewhere in the future. Protect the limited amount of free time you might have and utilize it to invest in yourself to do something that really makes you happy, even if it is just relaxing on the couch to do nothing and rest.

 

Self-care is for YOU and it is NOT selfish

 

Self-care is personal and is not something you have to justify to others, or to yourself. Once you have your list, keep it handy so you can quickly remind yourself of your options when you need to prioritize yourself.  Even better, take a picture of your list, and save it to your favorites, so you always have it in your phone.

 

The final step is to determine what you will commit to doing for at least 5 minutes a day to practice self-care. Yes, you are an In Demand Woman, but you can find a window of 5 minutes each day for YOU!   Keep your commitment simple so both you, and your new habit(s), become a priority and never an option.

 

In conclusion

 

Remember to love yourself while you work on yourself and your commitments this year.  Choose to love yourself during the process, not afterwards when you achieve something.

 

Simply put, celebrate yourself without conditions and create meaningful commitments this year.   You are worth it!

Before you write off 2020 for all the sh*t that's gone down, I want to offer some perspective of gratitude for all we have learned in 2020 (you KNOW I always find the positive!). Think of how much you have learned, how much you have grown, how you have persisted.  Everything we want is on the other side of FEAR and 2020 has taught us that we can be tough, we are resilient, and we are able to push out of our comfort zone and THRIVE.  Thank you for being on this journey with me and for SHOWING UP AS YOU... That is truly SASSY AS F*CK!  Much love and happy new year!
