When putting yourself first serves the world

When you have a higher purpose in creating a better world, you can feel guilty for investing in yourself. You argue that other people have it much harder, or the problem out there is too urgent for you to take a breath...

But as Michelle Obama explains in this interview, sometimes you need to help yourself, so you can build strength for others. And for the storms that may lie ahead.

If you don’t, in the long-term, no one wins.
 
There’s immense value in putting yourself first. For you, that could mean more self-care and simple rest.

But it could also be time to explore your internal beliefs and biases that stand in the way of flourishing in your job. Rather than acting from not-good-enoughness, guilt, shame, panic… you can learn how to act from wisdom and abundance.

It's not an overnight formula. (And not meant for emergencies). I see it as a skill that evolves and slowly builds, and can start to change how you show up for the world.

How is that for you?
Do you invest in mental resilience - for now, or for the storms the may lie ahead?
