My last blog post here was one year ago today – April 11.
This past year has been cathartic and a powerful growth year for me, personally and professionally.
Here are some things that have changed.
I have set clear boundaries with actionable consequences.
I have made progress working on my own goals and contemplated making drastic changes to my social media lifestyle.
I have helped four valuable clients make notable and drastic improvements to their lives – changes that have brought them success beyond their wildest dreams.
I have been the primary caregiver and life coordinator for a family member who has dementia and congestive heart failure.
I have dissolved a business, put a foundation formation on hold, and grown a business.
I have shifted my focus back to align with my top priorities.
I am proud of all that I have done this past year.
And, I have failed myself. I have not made my own health a priority. I have neglected my own love and care. I have set aside my dreams and desires to be there for others.
Is that wrong of me?
Is it realistic or not for me to honor my needs to come first in the long line of time consuming efforts I make on a daily basis?
It feels wrong to neglect myself, and yet I continue to choose that self abuse – running from one thing to another without taking the time necessary to do what I know I need to do for me.
What do you think?
Do you take time for you, even in the midst of crisis and drama?
What is your advice for me?
