PURPOSE ELEVATES SELF-CARE

It all starts with you..

Each week I talk with Christopher. To call him my coach isn't quite accurate. Nor is mentor the right word. More than a cheerleader. Let's settle on - real friend.

While he's been instrumental in helping me launch the 100 Year Manifesto Academy, the friendship goes both ways. We talk every Wednesday at 8. And, this past week when I asked how he was doing, he said this, "I had a really good day with myself."

Slow down for a moment to take these words in.

I had a really good day with myself.

Initially, you might think of this in context of a day spent by yourself, but it's more than that.

Wherever you go, there you are.

Can you say everyday, "I had a really good day with myself"?

Whether or not you're around people, how you treat yourself - how you talk to yourself - how you care for yourself - matters.

If you're really looking to live out your purpose, you gotta be good to yourself. It's that simple.

The healthier you are - mind - body - spirit.

The healthier you are - personally.

The healthier you are - professionally.

The healthier you are - in relationships.

The healthier you are - with yourself.

Life gets better.

You live your purpose better when your are good to yourself.

It's that simple.

Here are five action steps to elevate your self-care:

  1. Prioritize Daily Reflection: Schedule time each day to reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Reflecting allows you to understand yourself better and make conscious choices aligned with your purpose.
  2. Establish Boundaries: Set boundaries to protect your time, energy, and well-being. Learn to say no to commitments or situations that drain you or don't align with your values.
  3. Cultivate Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with the same empathy and understanding you would offer to a friend. Remember that self-compassion is essential for resilience and self-acceptance.
  4. Nourish Your Body, Mind, and Spirit: Your body is a temple. Treat it that way. Honor yourself and your body.
  5. Seek Support and Connection: Building a supportive network of people who understand and uplift you is crucial for your well-being.

Remember, self-care isn't selfish. Self-care a necessary foundation for living a purposeful and intentional life. By taking care of yourself, you'll not only enhance your own well-being but also empower yourself to better serve others and live out your purpose.

September 15, 2024 Step into your greatness... Stepping into Your Greatness: Bold Steps, Brave Moves First day of school photos—an iconic ritual.

Today, as I drove into Luther Seminary for Day 1 of pursuing my Master of Divinity degree, I found myself in a place of doubt. The thoughts crept in: Am I really doing this? Should I be doing this?

September 8, 2024 Step into your greatness... In less than a week, I’m starting a new chapter in my life—I’ll be pursuing my master’s degree at Luther Seminary. Here’s the thing: I’m not ready. I don’t have everything figured out. If I’m being honest, I’m far from fully prepared. But you know what? That’s okay. Life doesn’t always give us the luxury of perfect timing or complete readiness. Sometimes, it hands us an opportunity and waits to see what we’ll do with it. And for me, this is one of...

September 1, 2024 Step into your greatness... Heavy rain seems to be the theme of the summer here in Minnesota. As I look back on it, there's been a lot of storms. Far more storms that what is normal. And yet, there have been far more beautiful sunsets and rainbows. For every storm, there is beauty that results from it. You may have to look for it, but it's always there. I've had my fair share of storms this past decade. And, while I don't want to go through them again, I am appreciative of...
