Take Care of You

There should be no guilt associated with standing up for yourself. I’ve written about this before but I find myself needing a reminder these days. I’ve put more effort into making excuses for others instead of defending myself. Sometimes I allow myself to believe that staying quiet or avoiding conflict is the same as being peaceful.

There is no benefit in being taken advantage of. Don’t allow it.

I’m a firm believer in the power of love – not just romantic love. When I say love, I mean respect, support, honesty, communication, consistency, patience, forgiveness, selflessness, transparency, accountability and nurturing.  All relationships and environments should have a strong love factor, otherwise you run into back-stabbing, manipulating, holding grudges, selfish motives and complacency. So, stand up for yourself and demand love in any relationship, business, project and space connected to you.

When love is not present, dead it.

Embrace the power of saying “yes” and saying “no”. It is okay to speak up when something or someone is too much or not enough. When we learn to how to mind our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health, we become experts at setting boundaries, expectations and intentions.

Set boundaries.

Hold yourself and others accountable.

Humans are flawed, so forgiveness & patience will always be necessary.

Protecting yourself energy and mental health is just as necessary.
