When you make space for yourself in your own life, amazing things start to happen.
Here is a short, yet empowering, list to get you started.
- Get clear about what matters. What matters to you? Make list of your values, your loved ones, your aspirations. Use this list to ensure your actions support these matters of importance.
- Be mindful. Examine your thoughts and notice when you are, and when you are not, living in the moment. How much time do you spend thinking about the past and the future? Remember the present momentisyour life.
- Maintain healthy compassion for yourself. Kindness and appreciation for yourself propels you forward. If you are not extending compassion toward yourself, you are not able to fully do so for anyone else either.
- Let go of things that no longer serve you. When you let go, you increase your capacity. This allows you to accept what is new and what will serve your evolving self.
- Be grateful for life’s blessings and challenges. One thing that is certain is this: life is neither consistently wonderful nor consistently tragic. Developing a habit of gratitude for not only life’s blessings, but also life’s challenges and the lessons they offer, enables personal growth.
