abundance attitudes and mindset - How Many Ways Do You Pay ...









Tweet This You've heard that it makes a difference if you pay yourself first--not just in an increase in the amount in your checking or savings account but also in how you affirm that you value yourself, which gets conveyed to others through your energy.

You've also heard that, if oxygen masks are needed in flight, put yours on first because you're no help to anyone if you're unconscious . . . or worse. Let me explain how the oxygen mask ties in to ways you might pay yourself.

During a coaching call, my client--who'd recently heard the "pay yourself first" comment--said she feels our calls are a form of paying herself. I literally stopped moving for a moment when she said that . . . because her statement was profound and brilliant! It's a valuable lesson to us all: It isn't always about dollars and cents; it's also about what makes sense for us--like putting your oxygen mask on first so you can keep breathing, and fulfill your purpose.

What are other ways you do or might pay yourself for meeting challenges (good ones, tricky ones, and more serious ones) every day--ways that feel like an oxygen mask in your life? What about . . .

* You give yourself "you" time every morning (or at least once a day), whether it's to meditate, read something inspirational or motivational, not think about anything and just be, get organized and feel on purpose about your day before you start it.

* You get the rest and relaxation you need so you have energy for your life.

* You trust your inner knowing about what's fun and fulfilling for you and follow this.

* You know and trust what's appropriate and inappropriate for you and you honor this--guilt-free and with no need to explain yourself.

* You value and honor your time.

* You regularly clear clutter from your living and working spaces. NOTE: Creatives "do" clutter differently.

* You take walks or walk in nature or engage in some activity or inactivity that helps you relax.

* You give yourself a few moments, or longer, to celebrate and appreciate when you complete or accomplish something, rather than rush to the next task. You give yourself the "attaboy" or "attagirl" you'd love to get from someone else.

* You turn the computer off and have a real evening (day off, weekend, or holiday), whether a quiet one in your own company or with family or friends.

* If it fits your budget, you pay an appropriate someone (or barter) to take care of certain tasks like yard work, house cleaning, bookkeeping, or whatever--which may be long-term or once a month, when you want that time for self-care or self-nurturing or to focus on a project.

* You plan and enjoy coffee and conversation with a friend, or some other type of outing.

* You watch a favorite program or movie or read a novel--without apology.

* You enjoy a SPA day at a salon or create your own at home.

Many more bullet points could be added, but you likely get the drift of what my client meant. For her, our calls and what their results are in and on her life not only bring rewards into her life but lets her feel rewarded for the energy she gives to her process--on her behalf--between the calls.

Give thought to what feels similar to you--something you really couldn't put a price on because it provides something invaluable to you as the unique individual you are.

Maybe you might pick one thing you feel is like the oxygen mask but you've, perhaps, not been giving to yourself often enough or at all--and put it into practice this week.

Practice makes progress.
