As we head into the summer, I'm discussing holiday plans with lots of my clients. Too many professionals and entrepreneurs end up having bad experiences on holiday because of trying to do too much! With all the change and adjustment, the sensory overload of travel, having too many demands on you, and feeling obligated to keep children (and others) entertained, you get overwhelmed. The thing is, when you sacrifice your own needs to please other people, you end up feeling unappreciated and resentful. You start seeing things through a negative lens and having a miserable time, maybe even fighting with your partner and/or your kids. The solution to this problem is not that other people ask less of you, it's that you ask less of yourself! You need to prioritise yourself! You need to take care of your own needs first and if that seems "selfish", please remind yourself that when you're calm, grounded and enjoying yourself, you're able to be the best version of yourself. When you're the best version of yourself: - You have SO much more to give others. - You feel energised and recharged. - Your family and friends get to see and enjoy the best part of you. What do y'all think? Is focusing more on your own needs something you can start to do?
