Day One – Showing Up for You

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor Roosevelt

Some people hate the above quote, but I love it! It is part of my revelation of truth.

I enjoy watching Roots and Refuge on YouTube. The other day, Jes shared some inspiring thoughts about the importance of showing up for yourself. She and her friend are committed to a project of 100 videos, with each episode highlighting their journey of self-commitment. Isn’t that a thought-provoking idea? Showing up for yourself can be so challenging, especially in a world that often seems to discourage it.

I’ve often found myself putting others first and neglecting my own needs. I can’t be the only one who practices self-sacrifice while others benefit from my efforts! So, for the next 100 days, I’m excited to challenge myself to write a blog and share how I’m prioritizing my own well-being. I genuinely hope that each of you will join in on this challenge and share your experiences of how putting yourself first has made a positive difference in your wonderful lives.

PRAYER

Lord, walk with us and guide us on our self-discovery journey. Amen

Don’t ever criticize yourself.  Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’  God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbor.  You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.                          —Joel Osteen
