November. I can hardly believe we’re knocking on the door of the end of the year already.⁣ ⁣ I feel like I spent so much of the early part of this year focused on the external —how type 3 of me, right? But seriously, it was all consuming. And distracting. And honestly, unhealthy.⁣ ⁣ — How did I look?⁣ — How much weight have I lost?⁣ — How much money am I making?⁣ — How many new followers do I have?⁣ — How successful am I at X, Y, Z?⁣ ⁣ A few months ago, it felt like it all came crashing down. Because I was trying to build on sand. It forced me to take a step back and take a long, hard look at where I was investing my time and my heart.⁣ ⁣ And then it hit me — to actually build something meaningful, on a SOLID foundation, I needed to invest in myself first. I needed to intentionally seek out healing, from the inside out. I needed to put my own wellness, mind body and soul, first.⁣ ⁣ Girl, I get it. Life is TOUGH. There are responsibilities and relationships and distractions and it is straight up overwhelming, ESPECIALLY when you’re trying to chase your dreams.⁣ ⁣ But what if I told you that the real key to achieving those dreams is to stop chasing all together.⁣ ⁣ What if the key isn’t sacrificing yourself on the altar of accomplishing one. more. thing. but instead it’s turning your attention on yourself?⁣ ⁣ I know, it feels selfish and backwards — but hear me out.⁣ ⁣ When you focus on yourself, and your own wholeness and wellness, I promise you’ll find that the cup that was nearing empty before is slowly filling back up. And once it’s full? That’s when the overflow happens.⁣ ⁣ Here’s my challenge for you on this first day of the second half of the year — take 30 minutes today and do something for YOU.⁣ ⁣ Meditate. Pray. Read. Take a warm bath. Go for a walk. Sit in the sun.⁣ ⁣ Whatever you do, do it for YOU. Because as the age old saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup.⁣ ⁣ So, what will do today to take time for yourself? I want to hear allllll about it! xo http://liketk.it/2GwFh #liketkit @liketoknow.it
