What would you do if you knew you couldnāt fail? How would it feel to love yourself unconditionally and break the chains of fear, regret, and self-sabotage?
What story would be playing in your head NOW if you stopped eating unhealthy food, sitting around being inactive, and put everyone else first and started doing fueling your body with nutritious foods, working out, and placing your own health and happiness first instead?
Think, what would breaking addiction do for you and your familyĀ How would it feel to have absolute clarity on goals, and how to get there? What if it meant put yourself first consistently?
My Struggle
For the past 15 months, Iāve been on a journey to defeat my tendency to put everyone elseās happiness before mine and actually take care of myself. I had the tendency of always putting my own needs and wants last. The few times I would put my own desires before othersā, I felt guilty putting myself first. I know Iām not the only one whose felt this way.
Since December 2019, Iāve made a conscious effort everyday to put me first. Might sound selfish, but hear me out. Iāve been consistentlyĀ working out, eating right, and carving out time everyday for myself to do something enjoyable.
This isnāt always an easy feat, especially when I have my toddler at my heels every waking momentĀ as I try to tackle basic household tasks and/or work responsibilities ⦠all while loving the person staring back at me in the mirror.
I have my good days and bad days just like anyone else. Believe me; Iāve failed more times than you could ever begin to imagine; Yet, Iāve come out the other side, and I can honestly say I did it.
It was TOUGH; however, I am in an amazing place right now: much lower stress levels, improved friendships, happier in my marriage, and overall improved health (mental, emotional, psychological, physical, etc). Things arenāt perfect, but they are much better than they were and Iām the happiest Iāve been in a LONG time.
And itās all because I consistently put myself first.
Your Turn
Itās your turn now, your moment. Iām going to use an analogy Iāve used before just because itās that good and seems to stick with people. Your life (especially your health) is like an oxygen mask in an airplane safety demonstration. They always say to put on your mask first before helping others.
If you arenāt at your best, how are you to be at your best for those around you? When you put yourself first is not selfish, itās necessary.
Lucky for you, youāve got me in your corner.Ā Iām at the top of that mountain youāve been trying to climb for years.Ā My hand is out, and Iām cheering you on, ready and willing to pull you up with me and the thousands of other men and women Iāve helped.
I donāt know who you are or what sticking points youāre facing in your life.Ā But I do know that you CAN do this.Ā And if you take this journey with me you WILL be successful and have one of the most transformative seasons of your life.Ā You wonāt recognize yourself when Iām through with you. Time to get in the habit of putting yourself first. You donāt just deserve that, you NEED that.
