Blog Post from our Guest – Women Empowerment
I am honored to be teaching a class for an amazing group of women in a recovery facility. Over and over, the topic of abusing ourselves comes up. These women recognize that they put themselves last and take care of others first. Even people that have harmed them or been unkind come before they do?
Sadly, this is a common situation with women in general. We habitually put ourselves last. My thoughts are if American airlines is telling you to put your mask on first if the plane is going down, is a pretty strong statement about taking care of yourself before helping others. If we don’t, we run out of oxygen. Get the picture!
The practice of self-care over a period of time creates a stronger, self-loving confident woman that becomes a better contributor in everything she does. Her relationships, her employment and physical demeanor all become measurably improved.
Here are some tips on how to put you first.
I just finished reading Debbie Ford’s “Courage”. Great information about pushing through life’s challenges.
I would love to know about some of your favorite things that you do to nurture yourself. Feel free to comment here.
Remember, grab your mask first. It will all the difference to the ones you love.
Live Faithfully,
Mal
