It's time to honour yourself

Image
I am an introvert, for the most part and while I love people, I find that at times I can become peopled out too. When this happens I need my time to myself to recharge. For if I don't then overwhelm will set in faster and I will not longer show up the way that I would like to with others or myself. I am not one who likes a lot of attention placed upon me so I will try to accommodate another's schedule rather than ask for accommodations towards my own schedule. However, my time is valuable, in fact sometimes it is the only possession that I have to offer others. So here's a mindset shift to try, the next time that someone asks you for your time or when you can schedule them in. Don't give it away! Gift it to them!

By trying to fully honour all aspects of myself, I do not hide the art that is in process. During a particular coaching session I had with a client, we had amazing breakthroughs. However, when I asked what stood out for them the most during our time together, they shared something I had never thought of. They said that the entire time we were in the coaching sessions, they were staring at my unfinished art piece. It reminded them that they can still bring beauty even in their progress while showing others that they are not done yet. Then, they thanked me for having it out. My client's comment left me in awe, as we often forget the impact our coaching environment may have on our coaching sessions. I've decided to always leave a work in progress piece out. I think we all need to be reminded that no matter where we are in life...
