It’s time to put yourself out there

When was the last time you did something just for you? Not because it fit into someone else’s schedule, or because you didn’t want to disappoint anyone, but because it felt right in your heart.

For many of us, especially women who’ve spent years caring for others, the idea of putting ourselves first feels uncomfortable, even selfish. We’ve been taught to say yes to everything and everyone, to be agreeable, dependable, and accommodating. But here’s a truth I’ve learned, and one I want to share with you. 

Putting yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s self respect!

Saying “Yes” to You

What if, just once this week, you said no to something that drains you, and yes to something that fills you up?

Maybe it’s saying no to an extra task at work, or declining that catch-up you don’t have the energy for. Maybe it’s choosing to spend a quiet evening at home, or going for a walk instead of tackling someone else’s to-do list.

Each time you do, you’re telling yourself:

“I matter. My time matters. My energy matters.”

It’s a simple act of self sovereignty; a way of showing yourself the same care and consideration you so easily give to others.

Permission Granted

I know it can feel scary at first. Saying no might make you worry about how others will react, or whether you’re letting someone down. But learning to set boundaries is like building a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger and more natural it becomes.

And with every small “no,” you open the door to a bigger, braver yes:

• Yes to rest.
• Yes to joy.
• Yes to rediscovering the woman you are underneath everyone else’s expectations.

So today, I’m giving you full permission, from one woman to another, to start saying yes to you.

Want some help making it a reality?  Lock in a discovery call and let’s have a conversation!

Until next time,
