This time of year is famous for giving, gifting, breaking bread and being with loved ones. Reader, I wouldn't be me if I didn't ask you to go against the grain and do something audacious. What if you used the countdown to the new year to set yourself up for an elevated future?

In other words, what if you tried Self-Centering?

Before I get into the bold act of you claiming your time, I have to tell you about the gift we received on Christmas day!

The fam is back together again! My son joined us in Panama for the holidays

Use this time to put you first

Encouraging self-centering may be confusing because the term "self-centered" is widely considered a negative trait to have (much like audacity). However, I would argue that it is a necessity when choosing to give up a live that feels suffocating and stagnant.

Creating a plan to live your next chapter with more control over your time, money and freedom requires you to put your needs and desires first.

Ok, here's the real mind-f**k (sorry but it really does describe it best): When you are living with your needs met and your dreams becoming real, EVERYONE around you benefits. They actually benefit MORE than if you were to continue putting their needs before yours. It's crazy but true! We think the world will fall off it's axis when we self-center but what really happens is this:

• Your family/coworkers/friends become more self-sufficient and resilient. They will (sometimes) make you proud demonstrating their capacity.
• Your boundaries are easier to create and reinforce. No more regrets for saying yesyesyesyes...
• People start to SEE you. It's counter-intuitive but folks don't see the exhaustive energy you put into them or your work. They see and respect you (even if they hate it) when you aren't as available and easy.
• Why is the above true? Because when you take care of you first, you demonstrate to yourself and others your value. You are showing that you matter! People notice what is deemed valuable.
• YOU take notice. Do you think your own body and spirit don't notice when you put yourself last on the to-do list? Just like anything else, your mind and body responds to attention, care and love. Self-centering is showing LOVE exactly where you need it.
