Becoming the most important person in your life.

When we become the most important person in our life, we start making choices that bring us in alignment with our true selves. This has been a lesson that I’ve been learning over the past year and a half. 

The problem is that we often make others more important than ourselves. We don’t even realize that we make our choices based on others; based on their reactions, on what they want/prefer, or what we think will please them most.  Whether it’s about what to eat, where to go or choices that will have a bigger impact in the long run like where to buy a house, where to go on vacation when to go out with friends. 

We often don’t realize all the “sacrifices” we make to please others. Even less do we see why we make them and the impact on our lives. By sacrificing ourselves, we slowly put ourselves aside. The message we subconsciously tell ourselves is that the other is more important than us. We do it because we seek to feel important and special.  We seek love, acceptance, recognition. We sacrifice in hope of feeling something in return… just to be left dry…

I learned that everything will change the moment you make yourself the most important person in your life. When you realize that you are the only one suffering because you’re making others more important and that you’re the one left hungry and unfulfilled, you will stop making others a priority. You will start looking at what makes you happy, what brings you peace and joy. You will say no to energy-draining sacrifices, and you will make time for yourself and pay attention to what fills you up. 

When you bring awareness to what you need - human and soul - you can make choices that will feel good. Learning to slow down and pay attention is key. You might need the help of a mentor or a coach to turn your attention to yourself. I know I needed help understanding the cause and making peace with parts of me that were in pain. Don’t let any excuses like time and money be an excuse for not being happy and at peace with yourself. Set yourself free and invest in YOURSELF. :-)
