MMM… The good kind of selfish

We’ve just had the Full Moon in Leo reminding us of the importance, and courage that it takes, to be loyal to yourself. To prioritise and express your own needs, especially when so many other things demand your attention too.

Putting yourself first can often be seen as selfish, but what if you looked at as filling yourself up, so instead of selfish, it because self-full.

Imagine how much more you could enjoy, participate, contribute and support your own life, and those around you, if you came from a place of full-ness, rather than depletion.

Today we use the MMM’s to give yourself a moment to check-in with yourself and explore where you can reprioritise yourself and your needs.

1. Magick: Something for you to journal about

What does being loyal to yourself look like in everyday life?

We often don’t trust people who are disloyal.

So we try our best to be ‘good’ people and be loyal to the people we care about.

But at what cost?

When does loyalty to other people in your life mean you being disloyal to yourself.

There’s a reason that we must ‘put our own oxygen mask on first’.

When you can be loyal to yourself and your own needs, you can support, contribute and interact with those around you from a place of fullness and generosity, rather than a place of exhaustion and resentment.

When you give your time, energy and other resources from a place of fullness and generosity relationships become much more nourishing and fulfilling.

Would you rather receive help from, or be around, a person that feels nourished and fulfilled or from someone who feels resentful and exhausted?

★ Tip: Read about when loyalty holds you back

2. Mastery: Something for you to think about

“With every act of self-care your authentic self gets stronger, and the critical, fearful mind gets weaker. Every act of self-care is a powerful declaration: I am on my side, I am on my side, each day I am more and more on my own side.” — Susan Weiss Berry

What does ‘being on your own side’ look like to you?

What actions do you take that prove to you that you have your own back and are on your own side?

What’s the smallest act of self-care you can take, that will show yourself that you care about you too?

★ Tip: Read (or listen) to this post on magickal self-care

3. Momentum: Action for you to take

Add one act of self-care to your diary/planner/calendar.

What is one act of self-care that you can do this week that will feel nourishing? Adding it to your planner is one way to make sure that it’s less likely to get overlooked…

Perhaps it’s something you can do in a few moments, perhaps it will take a few hours.

In my Magickal habits planner: Live Your Magick (coming soon), I split self-care into the following:

• Physical self-care
• Emotional self-care
• Mental self-care
• Spiritual self-care
• Social self-care

Choose one area of your life and do one thing that will nourish that area.

★ Tip: take a moment to get quiet and feel into which area of your life needs more nourishment. Listen to the response from your inner wisdom. Getting into the habit of asking, makes it easier to hear the answers.

I’d love to know which of the three MMM’s you’re going try so that you can be more self-full, come and let me know over in our community.

Let’s nourish you and create more magick!
