So many of us have been told we are being selfish either in our own self talk or by others in our life. It doesn't feel great either way.
The idea of being selfish came up in a group conversation I had recently; and when this definition of 'selfish' was shared it was a moment of, "Wow, I can't unsee/unhear that now." So often this word is used to shame, guilt, influence, and/or get us to change something we are wanting to do. Ponder this...does this definition of 'selfish' de-weaponize it for you? If so, what are some ways you can continue to lean into who you are, living your life in a way that makes you shine and use your strengths, gifts, and being the person you can to earth to be in all your fullness?
What is your new perspective on being 'selfish' now? And what does that look like for you going forward?
Frequently we get busy in our day and are just conveying information or having conversations without being conscious of our habitual patterns of speech. Being mindful of our words and speech doesn't require time to practice, however, it does take a willingness to be mindful throughout the day - both in talking to oneself and others. Words are the seeds we plant when we think, speak and write. Our thoughts become our speech, which then become our actions. Something to consider...
This is such a powerful way to begin using the power of words and having them become a part of our vocabulary each day. By doing this we begin to morph the language we think and talk in toward a more positive, uplifting, and healthy direction.
