Trina Hall Lifting You Up Higher and Higher
Believe in yourself and you will have an amazing life. It is important to believe that you deserve good things to happen to you. You have always looked out for others and wanted the best for them. What is wrong with expecting the same back in return? For those of you who have spent most of your life self-sacrificing and pleasing others, this may be a difficult concept. You will have to work extra hard at undoing these deeply instilled beliefs.
On an airplane, the flight attendant always stresses the importance of putting the oxygen mask on yourself first before trying to help your children or anyone else around. For parents, that would be a hard choice. It would mean that you would save/help yourself before all others??? Yes, that is exactly it. If you do not put the mask on yourself first, then you will be no good to anyone else.
This rule applies to your everyday life. You need to take care of yourself first, so that you are at your healthiest and strongest. You need to be the best version of yourself. Don’t you believe that you deserve this? Others around you will also reap the benefits of a happier you.
BELIEVE YOU DESERVE IT
When others are trying to help you or do something nice for you, accept it graciously. Believe that you deserve it and are worth it.
INVEST IN YOU
Join a fitness class, take a course, have a quiet hour to meditate or be by yourself, go on a vacation or go for a massage. Do something just for you. You are worth the investment and time.
DO NOT LISTEN TO OTHERS CALLING YOU SELFISH
Those types of people feel that you should be spending all of your time on them. They try and make you feel guilty, when they are the ones whom are truly selfish.
BE BOLD AND TAKE RISKS
Make this year count. Act as though it is your last year to live. What chances and risks would you take then? Whatever those things are, have the courage to do them now.
Everywhere you look, people are reminiscing over the year that is soon coming to an end. On the television and radio, it is a popular time to go over the top songs, movies and events of the past year. People love it. But what about your life? What are your top moments? Whether it be accomplishments, struggles, milestones, or events.
My friend, George made me think when he asked our writing group to go through this next exercise. Start from the beginning of the year. Who were you? Where were you at? Now, after a year has gone by, do you even recognize yourself or your life? Or is it the opposite? Are you in the same, exact spot that you were in a year ago and are dying for change and excitement? Believe in yourself and this could be your best year yet.
Trina,
I have to say that I love reading your posts every week!! You are so inspiring and so very positive!! I truly believe this is the only way to live, even though some days are more challenging. Every day believe when going through a difficult situation, that it’s trusting, and knowing it’s good things are going to happen, but not knowing when. Believe and trust!
Thank you for sharing!
Joan
