This is just a short video to check
in and to remind you that treating yourself with
respect, treating yourself as if you were someone that's important,
that's an invitation
to do that.
It's an invitation, a reminder, if you value them,
to have boundaries with things, boundaries
with yourself, boundaries with the demands
that are there in the morning when you wake
up, right?
It's a reminder that no goal you have
is more important than you are and to have goals
is a great thing but if the goals come
at the expense of you having personal boundaries
and that really effectively looks like I know when
I'm taking action I know
when I'm not taking action right it's defined if your goals come
at the expense of that or you're noticing that that's becoming
hazy wishy-washy right maybe those boundaries are slipping
That's, you know, one of those things
that you want to start paying attention to, right?
Because that's telling you something.
So no goal you have is more important than you are.
Your basic deservingness of being treated with respect.
So look out for anything in your life that seems
to be demanding something of you, right?
Seems to be encouraging you to not have boundaries with it,
to leave it as a
An open-ended, never-ending commitment
or engagement to dealing with it.
And try and see if you can start putting boundaries around it.
It's like, I'll do that, but I'll do it for X amount of time.
If you don't have boundaries with it, you're going to notice,
well, really, you'll start to feel a lot of resentment towards it.
And you'll also start to feel like it's taken over your life.
More than likely, you'll probably
also notice that you're not even doing it.
This is what procrastination looks like.
So I'm going to keep this short,
but that's all I wanted to say in today's video.
No goal you have is more important than you are.
And when you are aware of that,
when you realize I'm important, these goals are of secondary
importance.
What it looks like are all the goals
that you have have very clear boundaries that you
don't break, that you enforce with yourself.
Okay, that's really a hallmark of self-respect and self-love.
So keep it in mind, look out for anything
that's become a little bit, you know, hazy
around boundaries and start tightening up some of those boundaries
and that's a route
to self-respect and it's actually a way
that you'll feel more connected to yourself, less
resentment and more love towards yourself and appreciation.
Short video, but just a reminder on that.
Talk soon.
Bye-bye.
