Are You Celebrating Yourself Today?

Are you celebrating yourself today?  I am.  Since it's not promised for me to be here tomorrow, I'm more intentional about living each day as if it's my last.  We often spend time celebrating others, and forgetting about ourselves.  That's not an indictment, it's just a wake-up call.  When you prioritize you, you're better equipped to attend to others.  Putting you first is not being self absorbed, it's merely using wisdom.  I know it makes us uncomfortable to consider putting ourselves first, when you're used to putting others before you, but it's actually very beneficial.  On the flip side, we risk running ourselves ragged when we attend to everybody else first. Once we eventually attend to ourselves, our energy is gone, or close to it.  By this time, we only feel like putting in a portion of the necessary effort for ourselves.  Not cool.  Imagine giving yourself the attention that's needed, to where you feel so refreshed.  This allows you to be vibrant for others instead of frustrated and worn out. And, we know our people would prefer seeing us show up as vibrant instead of frustrated; they really want to tell us never mind when we show up like that but they tolerate us.  Truth is, it's better to be celebrated instead of tolerated.  With that said, prioritize you and celebrate yourself.  Your good energy just might trigger someone else to celebrate you too.

Are you celebrating yourself today? Life is short, so let's get started!!!
