You are first

A lot of what I do is helping people to not only see their potential for their business but also for themselves. It really brings me joy to see others operating in their full potential and actualizing their professional and personal desires.

I often ask some of the same questions I have had to ask myself: Do you like what you are doing? And are you putting yourself first?

If you don’t like what you are doing and find yourself not passionate about work or certain activities you are giving time to, you may need to give yourself permission to expand and grow.

We can get so caught up with work, school, this and that, and suddenly, we’ve put ourselves on the back burner. It is intentional to put yourself first consistently. Read that again.

There will be seasons where it is second nature and times where it can be a daily struggle. Take this time to check in with yourself.

1) How do you want to be treated?
2) How can you treat yourself better?
3) What is your current priority list?
4) What is your desired priority list?

When I met with my executive director for my Ph.D. program, we outlined my priorities – and health was number one. Putting me first meant putting my health first. Followed by my family and obligations and then my Ph.D program. Managing this list well is accomplished through the vulnerability to access where you’re at and then the willingness to make the appropriate changes and adopt the behaviors that will make you most successful.

I will share more on those habits and behaviors next week, but take a moment to answer those questions first. If you need some accountability, hit reply and let me know where you’re at on your priority list. Use this time of the year before it gets busy with family, friends, and Holiday fun to check in with yourself. We all have a list of priorities, but make sure you are at the top.

What do you think?
