You need you at your best.

As we go into this new week, I want to remind you to make time every morning to align your spirit for the day that lies ahead . As things continue to get busier & busier, it's so easy to compromise on time for ourselves when we give so much of ourselves to others & have so much to do each day. This is a big mistake! Have you ever noticed how you feel when you are rushing out the door to an event or an appointment and just how frazzled you feel? Now you become extra sensitive to all of the little road bumps you may experience, every red light, every pedestrian you have to slow down for...the things you would normally just brush off seem to really get to you, all because of how you started your day. Usually, the people that get the brunt of this are the ones closest to us. We are extra short or lack patience all because we didn't make time for ourselves first, so we have the best version of ourselves to give to others (and to ourselves). So as your "to do" list gets longer, make sure not to skip the most important part of your day - time for yourself each morning to write down all that you are grateful about, time to decide how you will show up in the world that day, time to sit in the stillness and reflect on how you're feeling & what you really need.

As the saying goes, put your oxygen mask on first this week. You aren't doing anyone any favors by neglecting your own self care and well being . This world needs you at your best, your loved ones need you at your best, and you need you at your best - you deserve it. Let's make it a great week!

With love, Elyse
