Investing in Yourself

I have a mind boggling curiousity that has been a topic of confusion and a little anxiety for me lately. I have been a person in the "service" industry for a very long time. I am always doing something to serve others whether it be as a teacher, a guide, a waitress, a life coach, whatever. One of the things that has really blown my mind lately is the lack of investing in self I have seen. This is a general blanket statement so of course it is not meant for everyone but in general I do a double take in life when someone tells me they are upset with their health, their life, their fitness and then they refuse to get help. The biggest excuses I hear are, "I cannot afford it" or "I do not have the time". Really?
Is this absolutely true? I do not think so because those same people I watch go out and spend all kinds of money on cocktails, their daily Starbucks at 8-10 bucks a pop, "things" that seem to be filling a void, and wasting their time worrying, or doing things that truly do not make them happy. We as human have our priorities in the wrong places in my opinion. Truly if it is health and happiness we wish for we have to be honest enough with ourselves and do something about it. The excuse that we do not have the money or the time is just nuts because we do. We make our lives, we co-create it and we are the one waking up every day creating the rituals, the patterns and the beliefs.
I am calling people in my life forward to truly be honest with themselves. Where there is a will there is a way ALWAYS in life. I am curious if folks got super clear with their priorities and then acted upon those every day (even in baby steps) what would the world look like. I wonder what this place would be if people just stopped the patterns of their "old" beliefs that they cannot afford health, that they do not have time to workout or to take a walk. Honestly I am pretty sick of my own "old" beliefs and I see how they might have served me in the past but it is time to let go and move forward. If you are sick of your life, your beliefs, your patterns I invite you to sit down and get clear with what your priorities are. What does life mean to you and how do you want to be living out the rest of your time here on earth? What do you want? Then take a look at the ways your patterns, thoughts, actions are either blocking you or moving you forward. It could be fun....I treat it like a game. When I am ready to move to another level or to another thought pattern I treat my life like a video game. Ready for the next level!
We can stay in the beating up stage or the victim stage but truly it is time to take full responsibility for our lives and what we are creating here. Let's make this the best rest of our lives ever! Ready???????? If you want more ideas email me I am more than happy to share questions, thoughts, ideas. Here we go BEST LIFE EVER!
