Ep #20: How to Put Yourself First
“If you are giving 100% of your effort to everyone around you, what are you giving yourself?”
It's so easy to get caught in the trap of doing everything for everyone except yourself. I realized in April 2018 that I was in that exact trap. I was neglecting myself and putting everyone and everything else first. So I tried something for the first time. I tried putting myself first. It changed my life. There are many obstacles that stand in the way of us choosing ourselves and putting ourselves first. This episode explains why we struggle to make this change and how to overcome it.
