Who cares who likes you? Do YOU like you?
Recently on a call with a client, I asked her who cares?
It was a powerful moment, so I wanted to ask you, where in your life do you need to say to yourself, who cares?
We get so overcome with worrying about what others think of us that we NEVER take the time to pause and think of our own needs.
Truthfully, I am guilty of this as recently as this month. I love being there for others that I neglected myself in the process of giving to others. And I do know that you cannot help others if your cup isn’t full.
It was happening in all areas of my life that I had to stop, pause and reflect. Luckily, I have a colleague that allows me to process this all without trying to fix me.
It became so clear to me after I paused and talked it through that I wasn’t giving myself the same love and attention that I give to others in my life. I was not being very kind to myself.
While I hate learning that I am the problem, I am able to implement change immediately. As I was talking to a friend, I realized that I needed to call her back since I needed to complete something important to me.
I put myself back in my own power. Letting myself know that I am the most important person in my life. My needs come first. (That way I can release any resentment!)
And just like that…I was able to like myself again.
So who cares? I did. But I was expending energy outside of myself rather than within myself. Once I tweaked that tiny but huge thing, everything fell into place.
This week as you notice yourself getting bothered by something or someone, pause and say to yourself, who cares? See if it helps you shift your energy. If you need more support, let’s schedule a discovery call.
