Something to think about: Do You Truly Value You?
What is the difference between valuing yourself and being selfish?
Hi, it's Sarah Emond with Essence Healing.
And today I want to talk to you guys about valuing yourself.
Do you value you?
It's a good question and something to kind of focus on a little bit and really think about and be honest and truthful with yourself about it.
I see it all the time when people say, "Of course I value myself."
But when it comes to actions - what they actually do...they don't.
You know how many times I'll hear somebody say, "Oh yeah I spent this on my son, or I did this for my daughter. But I want to go on this trip, but I don't feel like I'm worth that money or I don't want to spend that money on me."
When you say that, you are saying I don't value me. I value my kids. I value my husband. I value my job. I value even my pets. But I don't value me. I'm not willing to spend money on me. I'm not willing to put time and effort into me. I don't value me.
If you don't value you, who's going to?
And why don't you value you?
These are all questions I have when people say that.
And it's a little bit of my pet peeve because there's a difference between valuing yourself and being selfish. I think we're taught a lot that we shouldn't be selfish, and we take that to the point that means that we should always put other people first.
But your value...you are this amazing person. You're here. This amazing spirit, the soul, is here to experience. And every time you don't value yourself, you are not valuing that experience that you, as a soul, are. You're not allowing yourself to live.
So, I challenge you to really look at: "Do I value myself? Am I really making those decisions about what I will buy for myself, what I will do for myself - because it's what I truly want or don't want? Or because I don't see the value in me and so I'm not putting my energy, my actions into me."
It's really - it is - it's really something to think about.
So, I'm gonna leave you there with those thought forms and just let you mull that over for a bit. If you feel like you're stuck with that or you have questions, or you don't understand what your value is. Or you know you don't value yourself, but you can't figure out how to get past that, please reach out and schedule a session. I'd be happy to help.
It's what I'm here for.
I hope you have a great day! I will talk to you guys again soon.
