Why Are You Acting Like That?
By Karen Mcfarlane

Do you have something that is really important to you yet you’ve been putting off for a while? Ask yourself why! Why is this thing not taking priority in my life? Why is it okay to put it on the backburner?

Many times we put off things that have to do with making us happy. We will do for others, but will not exert the same energy into doing for ourselves.

• Why is it that you will give 150% to your job, but won’t take care of the vessel that allows you to be present at work every day?
• Why will you work overtime for someone else, but won’t spend 15 minutes to write in your journal, work on your business plan, or soak in the bathtub?
• Why do you think that it is okay for you to wait all the time?

You don’t have to be last on your list. You are just as important (if not more) than anyone else and that doesn’t translate into being selfish. Julie Glick, President of Radiant Cuisine, said “You cannot give from an empty cup.” So here is this week’s advice: Fill your cup with love for yourself.
Deep down you already know you have so much to give. Ever heard of the concept of paying yourself first? Do just that. Believe it or not, when you take care of yourself and show yourself the greatest love of all, others will appreciate you and love you for it. By doing so, you’ll find that your cup will become full and overflowing. It is then that you have more than enough to share.

So - what will you do for yourself today?
