Be You
Eight steps to being you! ‘only you can be you, this is your superpower’ Are you continually rushing, slapping together school lunches, checking emails through the spam, undouble-booking your calendar, telling your husband where his stray sock is, problem-solving for a friend and wondering when you’ll find time for the first hit of caffeine? Where are you in all this? Mum, wife, mumpreneur, friend or rattled, time-poor woman? You’re everything, but mostly you. Lose yourself in life’s stuff and you risk, health, wellbeing, mental state and your business. Saying, “I love myself.” No, it’s not vain, conceited or narcissistic (unless of course, you do more selfies than Cristiano Ronaldo) — it’s essential to surviving. Loving yourself is not only satisfying our inner needs, helping our self-esteem, and keeping us healthy, it also reflects on people we come in contact with. We cannot effectively treat people with patience, love and kindness. So what are the steps?
