Often times as women we have so many tasks and expectations placed on us, both by others and ourselves, that it can be daunting. We’re expected to be the best at what we do at all times and readily available for anything and everything that is thrown our way. We deal with being overlooked and undervalued. We are faced with some issues that only women can relate to. Lately I’ve been reflecting and realized that despite all of this, being our best selves is extremely important. It’s time to take care of ourselves not only for the betterment our physical health but for our mental health as well. Take a look below to find out 3 ways to celebrate your bomb girl power (i.e yourself).
Treat Yourself
When you work and play hard, I believe that you should be able to treat yourself every now and then for all of your efforts. I personally used to feel guilty when I wanted to gift myself items because I felt like I was being selfish. I felt that the money could always be used elsewhere, such as towards our business or home. I then realized, all of the time and effort I putting into various aspects of my life should be celebrated somehow. Whether its purchasing an item of make up that I’ve been eyeing or getting one of my necessities that will better myself that I’ve been putting off, guilt shouldn’t be anywhere in the mix. My husband and I decided it would be best to create a ‘treat yo self’ budget which is highly recommended!
Invest In Yourself
I believe investing in yourself is extremely important. As women, we have to juggle so many different tasks that we feel as if we may not have the time to dedicate towards personal projects that are in our heart to complete. The best advice I would have is – make the time girl. One thing you don’t want to happen is 40 years down the line look back and regret not doing what’ve always wanted to do. You have to invest the time and put in the effort in order to see the fruits of your labor. Whether it’s learning how to edit videos because you’ve been led to start a Youtube channel or taking that free online class that would make you knowledgable in what you want to accomplish, now is the best time to get that started. Just remember, pouring into yourself will also help when pouring out to others.
Love Yourself
I’m sure you always hear that you should love yourself flaws and all but how many of us actually put those statements into action? I can honestly say that I am my biggest and worst critic. As I’ve been getting older I’ve realized that I’ve been so hard on myself which was secretly chipping away at my morale and making everything harder to complete because I just wasn’t motivated. If you feel the same way, trust me you aren’t alone sis. While it is definitely easier said then done, we truly need to put in the effort to love ourselves. We also need to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we’ve made and challenge ourselves to become better women. Life isn’t easy but truly loving yourself as you go along your journey makes it easier.
