Self-Investment For Growth
People tend to describe self-investment as putting time, energy, or money into themselves. There are many things we can do that will bring something uniquely beneficial from it. Even if we invest time into something and don’t like the experience, we learn that because of that experience. When we actively do things that put energy into our growth; as a result, we bring out the best in ourselves. Self-Investment is important because it’s the key to growth I thought I had been investing in myself the last few years despite the fact I was working out and eating healthy. Nonetheless, those things helped in the process, but I realized it would take more than those things alone. It was like painting a house with a leaking roof. As a result, it made the house look better, but it didn’t fix the primary issue. Despite the urge for self-investment, but I never could justify spending the money on certain things. There was always an excuse attached to it. I was telling myself I wasn’t worth it. That can’t be good for anyone’s self-worth. As I have taken steps into the world of self-improvement, I know I will always reap the rewards when I take the steps. I’ve always learned something precious about myself in the process. I’ve found things I may love and things I may not. I have learned skills to help in everyday life and even saw the creative side I didn’t know existed. The part of my self-investment that became notably invaluable is listening to the most important opinion that matters…mine As part of this process, I have felt the pull to share with others the things that have helped me along the way. However, I’ve also been told that including outbound links for these resources isn’t smart. It drives traffic away from my site, and I’m providing free advertisements for people and websites that I don’t have an affiliation to. For this reason, I started this blog to help other people feeling overwhelmed with life. I want to inspire others to put the investment back into their well-being by showing ways to bring self-investment into their life There are four pillars that everyone needs to find their balance in life. Physical is what we do for our bodies. Working out, eating right, sleeping well, and understanding that what we put in our bodies is what we will get out of our bodies. Mental is what we do to listen to ourselves. Journaling, meditation, reading, hobbies, and resting are ways to encourage our mental growth. Emotional is how we better understand what we tell ourselves and how we can listen to our emotions. Breathing exercises, gratitude, affirmations, and journaling are ways to connect with our emotions. Spiritual is the connection we have to others. It can be through a social group, religion, community, and family. We can attend church, or circles and connect in prayer or meditation are ways to have a connection to our spiritual side. We can all balance these different areas in the ways that speak to us the most. Every day is different, and every person is different. As long as we take the time to listen to ourselves, we can hear what our mind, body, and soul needs. Some days I spend more time on my physical well-being, and other days, I work on my emotional well-being. Sometimes my meditation routine doesn’t cut it, and embodiment dance is what I need to spark all four pillars. Self-investment can look different for everyone Here are some ways to find self-investment: podcasts books courses meditation reflection setting intentions refine your skills manifesting dream or vision boarding getting physical networking eating healthy boundary setting taking breaks using an app that helps or teaches you declutter organize goal setting media detox planning for productivity avoid unhealthy foods try something new release excuses, patterns, habits, behaviors, and relationships that aren’t serving you It can be something that will strengthen your career. It can be trying a new hobby you’ve wanted to try. The goal is to bring growth to yourself. It can provide a better understanding of how we function as our highest self. There is no wrong way to take the time to invest in yourself, as long as you keep mindless activities out of it, including social media and tv If there has been something calling your name to try that will bring growth to your physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual well-being, this is your sign to take the first step. Start small and find free resources that can help you better understand what it may be. Therefore, if it still piques your interest, invest more into it, whether it’s time, money, or energy. When you find something that lights you up, then continue to explore. If you find that it doesn’t, find something else. Repeat. My most significant step in self-investment is cycle planning. The result of cycle planning helped me find my power in productivity while honoring self-care. It allowed me to find a rhythm in creating my business and keeping me grounded to support my family in their needs. Read more about cycle planning in my blog post HERE. In addition, I made a digital planner help other women to find ways to support themselves in their seasons of their cycle. Click HERE to go to my Etsy shop. Investing into your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being is something you will always get a return on.
