“The best contribution you can make to someone else is self development, not self sacrifice”. – Jim Rohn
In this section of the blog, I will be sharing notes I have taken from various motivational and development books, podcasts, masterminds etc… From my perspective and experience many moms especially stay at home moms feel like in order to be doing a good job, everyone else’s needs should be top priority. This was first brought to my attention by a chiropractor I was seeing for my back pain and was my first encounter with a doctor who focused on the mind/body connection by healing the whole person. He would preach to me about the airplane concept of making sure to put the mask on myself first so I could be better equipped to take care of others. Now that my boys are grown, I realize how much better I would have been as a mom if I had embraced this throughout the years instead of putting myself last and feeling guilty for the time I did spend for me. I see this repeatedly with my wellness consultations. I will meet with a a woman about oils and she goes through the list of everything she needs for her kids and husband but won’t spend the time or money on oils to benefit herself. It wasn’t until I became a part of doTERRA that I really realized how important living a life of self growth is versus living for everyone else. I hope you enjoy the information I will be sharing with you and would love to hear what personal development books have inspired you.
