A Mindset Refresh for Self-First Success

Hello, Self Firsters!

As we journey through the year, it’s time to gently pause and recalibrate. Are you prioritizing yourself in your life’s grand narrative, or are you slipping back into old patterns? Today, let’s explore some Mindset Upgrades to ensure your thoughts align with your path to success. Remember, minding your mind is pivotal in shaping your reality.

Refresh your mindset with our self-care strategies and tips, designed to keep you focused and empowered in your personal and professional journey. Join the Self First Movement and embrace a year of success and self-discovery. #SelfFirstSuccess #EmpowermentJourney #selffirst #youfirst #POMPOM

Mindset Upgrade Tips:

  1. Reflect on Your Goals: What were your aspirations at the start of the year? Assess your progress and realign your actions with your objectives. Both short-term and long-term goals deserve your attention and effort.
  2. Balance Personal and Professional Aspirations: Whether employed or an entrepreneur, never lose sight of your dreams. Engaging in side projects or hustles to fund your ‘BIG’ dream? Keep that flame alive!
  3. Time Management is Key: Dedicate regular intervals for personal growth – a few daily minutes or scheduled weekend hours. It’s about honoring your commitment to yourself.
  4. Mindful Awareness: Be vigilant of distractions that can derail your progress. Stay present and adaptable to make necessary adjustments in your plans.
  5. Seek Support: Embrace the wisdom of mentors, coaches, and peer networks. Professional guidance can be transformative.
  6. Continuous Learning: Never hesitate to expand your knowledge. Enroll in courses and ask for help when needed.
  7. Physical Well-being: Hydrate, exercise, and nourish your body with the proper nutrients. Your physical health is integral to your overall success.

As we continue to navigate this year, remember the script of your life is in your hands. You are the architect of your success and the steward of your journey.

Self-care Is STILL Important

It is STILL so important to make sure you take good care of your body, mind, and soul every day, not just when you are sick. 

Self First post June

We often fail in self-care. Because practicing it is not that easy. Most of us are crazy busy, have stressful jobs, and even more so managing life during a pandemic. or are too consumed with technology to make time for ourselves. Me-time is usually last on the agenda. Worse, we can sometimes feel guilty about taking the time required to take care of ourselves. So getting started with self-care can be challenging.

Your mind is a powerful thing. You need to Know YourSELF to Grow YourSELF When you start to fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.

Here are a few great suggested tips to get you started: 

Get your mind focused

✔Get your mind focused on the day by asking yourself one question as soon as you wake up: What is the one thing I am committed to completing today? The benefits: you start prioritizing, you keep focused on personal goals, you make a promise to yourself to finish one thing that’s important to you.

Work on the most challenging tasks first

✔Work on the most mentally challenging tasks first. It’s called doing deep work. Devoting your mornings to whatever needs most of your concentration, whether that’s reading, taking notes, coding, or problem-solving. When is the ideal time to do it? The sooner, the better; research shows that our analytical brain starts functioning optimally around 2-4 hours after we wake up.

Make it a habit to learn every day

✔Make it a habit to learn something new every day. Why? You feed your brain, create new neural networks, challenge your intellect, and take advantage of that amazing supercomputer of yours: your brain. #itisaboutyou

Relationships during tough times Pt2

Hi Lovies, It’s your favorite farming yogi, Tei, The NeoUrbanist. Last week, I shared with you a part of the Book of Ruth. If you didn’t have an opportunity to read that post check it out here “Relationship during tough times pt1”.
So you say Tei, why is this portion of the story so significant? Well, I’m glad you asked. You see, once the ladies part ways you never hear about Orpah again. With love-filled hearts, Naomi and Ruth wished Oprah well on her journey and moved on with their lives. In my mind, there is no way they didn’t miss her. They had lived, loved, and lost together.  I believe they understood that their paths were no longer meant to intertwine. This can be applied to all forms of relationships because, well frankly put, all relationships are not meant to last forever, and adversity is often the catalyst that reveals this fact.

This pandemic is no exception.  As a collective, we have had to work harder to stay connected. It wasn’t safe to gather, financial changes caused unexpected relocations. Some of us experienced illness.  We had to more than just WANT to stay connected. We had to be willing to do the work to stay connected. It is painful to know that you are not someone’s choice when they are yours. But as Ruth demonstrated in the story, when someone wants to be in your life, they put the effort forth.  Orpah was not a bad person, nor does it mean that she was never dedicated to Ruth. What it does mean is that the circumstances for their pairing changed and staying with Naomi wasn’t the same priority.  So this holiday season when you are reflecting on your relationships I want you to love yourself enough to remember this tip …

Allow people to do what they want to do so that you can see what they would rather do, then govern yourself accordingly”;  understanding that just because you may not be the “rather” in the equation does not make what you shared any less real or beautiful. It does not mean that you are unworthy. It simply means your paths are no longer meant to intertwine.  The realization that everyone is not meant to be in your life forever may cause you to feel a myriad of emotions. Acknowledge your feelings, embrace and revel in the good memories, and move on with peace.

 Love on yourself until next time Lovies.

 Bye For Now, 

Tei 

Relationships during tough times

Hi Lovies, It’s your favorite farming yogi, Tei, The NeoUrbanist. Living through a global pandemic has been rough on all of us in so many ways. As the holidays approach I wanted to talk about relationships. A friend mentioned the struggle she faced with some of her relationships ending during this global pandemic. I shared a love story found in the Bible from the Book of Ruth. Rather than focus on the actual love story of Ruth and Boaz, I wanted to bring light to the relationships between the three women in the story.  I will sum it up quickly for you.

Three women (Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah) were faced with tragedy, and all became widows. With no spouses to provide for them, Naomi (the matriarch) makes the decision to send her daughter in laws back to their families because she is returning to her homeland.  When presented with the option to return home, Orpah returned to her family, but Ruth refused. The famous line that is often spoken as bridal wedding vows, “Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried” was born from Ruth’s refusal to leave Naomi. 

I’ll break here and pick up next week on why I believe this story is so significant to all of us learning to put SelfFirst while still nurturing the relationships in our lives. 

Bye for Now,

Tei

Thank you Tei, we can’t wait till next week to see what’s next! So, SelfFirster’s, when you think about the relationships in your life… are there any vows to a friend or promises that you have made that are no longer align with your current vision and dream for your life?

How do you nurture a relationship with yourSELF that allows you to be a better friend in the relationships you treasure?

Remember it is about you! @shawannaksays
