Ever feel like you’re running in place in your business life and personal life.? Like you are working tirelessly but not quite getting to where you want to be? You know you’re destined for multi-million dollar success, yet something keeps dragging you down: burnout, lack of focus, or just plain overwhelm. Trust me, I’ve been there. But here’s the reality – it’s often our neglected mental and emotional wellness that keeps us from making that pivotal move to millions. In the latest episode of the Move to Millions podcast, Nakeia Homer and I dove deep into the game changer that is self-care.
Discovering Self-Care as Your Fuel
Why Self-Care is Non-Negotiable
We hear the term “self-care” thrown around so much that it’s developed the stigma of a buzzword. But it’s more than that. As Nakeia put it, self-care is a necessity to sustain your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual capacity. It’s the fuel that powers your life’s purpose and supports your personal growth. It’s not just about feeling good; it’s about being good – in all areas of your life.
Here are some practical steps from Nakeia:
- Ask Yourself, “What Do I Need?”: Regularly check in with yourself. What do you truly need right now? Is it rest, a creative outlet, or perhaps quality time with loved ones? Don’t just guess; listen to what your body and mind are telling you.
- Create “Selfish Time”: Yes, you read that right. Allocate time for yourself without guilt. Use this to recharge, whether it’s through journaling, meditation, or simply a quiet walk.
- Adapt and Evolve: Self-care isn’t static. What worked for you last year might not work now. Be flexible and ready to change your routines to suit your current needs.
The Power of Intentionality
When you think about hitting your million-dollar goals, your vision needs to align with your capacity. Here’s where intentionality comes in – and boy, is it powerful. Affirmations and journaling aren’t just feel-good exercises; they’re tools to shift your subconscious mind and create the capacity you need for growth.
Nakeia suggests:
- Journal Your Intentions: Write down prompts like “What do I need to do to fill my needs?” and “What was I doing when I was at my best?” to increase self-awareness and intentionality.
- Employ Somatic Methods: Techniques like deep breathing and body awareness can help you manage what life demands of you, creating more bandwidth for your vision.
Leveraging Personal Stories for Growth
When it comes to Nakeia’s journey, it’s nothing short of inspiring. Born to teenage parents and facing significant challenges, she chose not to settle. Instead, she turned her experiences into powerful stories and resources to inspire others. And while some people try to run away from their stories, others like Nakeia see the value in it. Leveraging your story to inspire and connect with others who are on a similar path can help solidify your brand’s authentic voice and be a defining moment in your growth.
Empower Yourself to Expect More
One repeated theme is the art of not settling. Not settling for less is crucial in relationships, finances, and personal growth. It’s about pushing beyond the status quo to unlock higher potential.
Here’s how you can instill the habit of not settling:
- Reconnect with Your Vision
: Constantly reflect on your divine purpose. Don’t allow temporary setbacks to derail your ultimate goals. - Maintain High Standards
: Across relationships, business, and personal aspirations, set and stick to high standards. Remember, it’s about what you refuse to settle for that often defines your success.
