You’ve been going nonstop. You want to #feelgood. But you’re running yourself into the ground.
I see you.
I feel you!
Do yourself a favor and calm your mind.
Focus on only you for now and let other thoughts go for the moment.
It’s time for a #feelgood check-in.
This is going to #feelgood
Take a deep breath for a count of 5 and let it fill your belly.
Really. Do it. 😊
Hold it for a count of 7 if you can.
Now slowly exhale for 8 full beats.
Awesome.
Let me ask you… in this very moment, on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high), how good are you feeling?
This is your current #feelgood score.
What is it?
Give yourself time to settle into your answer.
Are you ok with your score?
What were you expecting it to be?
Here’s another question: What would you like your #feelgood score to be?
Think of one small step you can take to move in that direction. Even the tiniest step is progress. What one thing came to mind for you? Post your answer in the comments for extra accountability. We are here for and with you!
Why it matters
While it’s not realistic to expect every day to be great, making sure that YOU are doing ok is an important step toward serving others.
You’re a giver and you genuinely care about the well-being of the people in your world. This is one of your very best qualities… it’s the main reason I want you to join the JOY BITES tribe (join here). Givers flock together and support each other.
Did you know you were awesome like that?
But the thing is, if you are running low and you try to give… whatever you offer will be felt as less-than-genuine.
If you’ve been on the receiving end of a gift like that, you know it didn’t feel like a gift. It felt like an obligation. We don’t want the people we care about to feel like requirements. We want them to feel like they matter. It’s important that we not only give others help, but also honor and dignity.
This can happen when we give from a place of fullness.
Sometimes all it takes is a quick #feelgood check-in. Followed by a quick adjustment.
Try it.
1️⃣ Check. 2️⃣Adjust. 3️⃣Give. 4️⃣ Wash, rinse, repeat.
Try it often. Let us know what happens… both for you, and the recipient of your awesome heart.
It feels good to feel good. #Feelgood.
Lots of love…
