Prioritizing & Being True to Yourself

Prioritizing and Being True to Yourself

There has never been a more important time to take care of yourself! That’s why now more than ever we need practices and tools to help us prioritize our self-care and mental wellbeing. On the Prioritize You Virtual Summit, I joined my friend Karen with a team of over 25 experts to share practices, tools, and easy to apply everyday tips to help you prioritize yourself, so you can take better care of yourself, and better care of those around you. It’s about being true to yourself and remembering that YOU are worth it!

Accepting & Embracing

I love inspiring, I love motivating anybody but particularly women because there are so many things that we have to go through and I just love being able to give hope and faith to other women through my life experiences and what I have learned through my journey.

After introducing myself to the listeners, the host asked what it means to “Accept & Embrace It All”.

It’s about being true to yourself. I had to really relive my whole journey and my past and just accept that those things happened and there were things that happened that led to years of guilt, anxiety, and disappointments from unmet expectations and things that happened that were beyond my control.

I was shameful and I carried a lot of guilt when I went through failed marriages. I had to accept both the choices I made and the choices that were beyond my control and really accept and embrace all that happened and accept that there is a future, there is a choice for me, there is a life that I can live healthy and well and not be filled with anxiety, shame and guilt. and find some self-worth inside of me. First I had to accept where that broken foundation was and I did not truly love myself so I was attracting the wrong kinds of people into my life. I wasn’t loving and protecting myself as I was supposed to and I was letting that broken foundation fill me with so much anxiety so I had to learn to fight for myself to be free.

Healing is a Process

The host remembered when her son died and she could not control that circumstance but she could control her reaction and her response to it. The host asked if there was something that lead to me to realize that I needed to accept myself as I am or if it was more of a process.

I really believe there was a process of continuing unhealthy cycles. I was gradually breaking generational curses. I had to look within and strive to do better. So many women just give, but at some point you need to receive and realize that you need to prioritize yourself because you can’t fill someone else’s cup if your own cup is empty. The best gift that I have given myself is investing in me through self-care, self-love and thinking about how I can make life more productive and purpose filled. I have a voice, I have a right to feel the way I am. I may be sad but I am still thankful and grateful to God for everything.
