I remember staring at the computer screen, my challenge pack sitting the virtual cart. I wasn't sure if I should do it. Im frugal. I don't like to spend a lot of money on myself. I sat there feeling insecure and selfish.
Honestly, I don't know what I would have done without my husband in that moment. He saw my need. He saw that I wasn't happy, that I needed change and at my moment of insecurity, he told me, " Just do it!" I know not everyone has that support to push them in the right direction. It's easy to get caught up in the needs all around you and decide yours aren't significant but we are all responsible for ourselves first. When we practice self-care, we liberate others to do the same without shame and many of the needs around us disappear! And when we are in a place of fullness and joy, we are better able to meet the rest! It sounds simple but I lost sight of it. Caring for my family took priority and before I knew it, I was tired, discouraged, and unhappy. You can't give out of a depleted state! Creating time for my health (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health) didn't take away from my family, instead it added to it! I'm a better wife and mother than I ever was before! It took time for me to truly believe that I was worth my time and energy. It took acting on the truth before my emotions lined up with it, but it was the best decision I could have made for myself! If you know you need a change, if you've tried a million things, if you feel like a failure, if you don't have someone in your corner supporting you, let's talk. I don't want you to spend a single moment longer feeling this way! I'm here to remind you that you are worth your time and energy by offering you mine! I want to help! ❤️ Message me or leave your email below!

They say that if you know your worth, no one can ever take it away from you. For example when you are in love; you tend to give everything that you can. But if you know that you are the only person who makes so much effort yet the other one doesn't appreciate you, you should stop doing what you're doing and ask yourself, "is it really worth it?". If you know your worth, you will walk away because you know you shouldn't be doing it for someone who doesn't even appreciate your existence and your efforts. Soon, you'll find the perfect one for you.
