I’m used to the conversation now but people are often blown away by the idea of putting themselves first as often we have been conditioned to always put other people before ourselves.

There’s so much that can be discussed in that conversation but here I’d like to just give you something simple and tangible which you can focus in on which is the idea of looking after yourself and seeing yourself as needing to be built in the same way the pyramids in Egypt were built.  Think of the needing of a strong foundation in life for the rest of the structure to be built upon.  For the pyramids or any good structure it’s a case of the good cement and the diligent laying of the pieces of brick.  For the person a way to look at it can be simply to look at your eating, sleeping, exercise, and self connection.

For eating we can use the food pyramid which is online whereas we are more minimal around sugary foods, alcohol and saturated fats, with a good amount of our food coming from fruit and vegetables.  For sleeping the general idea is 7 to 8 hours per night although I believe there is individual variance here which can be played with.  For exercise I think something aerobic and something with a bit of weights.  A self connection practice can be something like meditation, mindfulness, journaling, we also get this from therapy sessions.

I’ve seen clients do this and change remarkably from one session to the next so I’d like you to encourage yourself to give it a go or atleast just reflect on where you are at here.  Factor these things into your diary, make them a priority and notice what comes up for you over the next week and then reassess and decide anything you may want to change.

A massive amount of traction can take place from just having the idea of putting yourself first then focussing on these foundational things.  In my sessions with clients we can easily track how all these are going to make sure you have the best possible relationship with yourself.  My foundation builder course focuses on this in the first section also in deeper detail along with win logs and examples to make it all more tangible.
