“I’m celebrating my birthday”, Amaya, my 6-year-old grand
niece informed every waiter at every restaurant she visited during the month of
November.
At home, she’d announced her intention to celebrate “all
month long.”
In her short life and experience of celebrating only 5 birthdays,
she was on to the magic of self-acknowledgement
Taking care of herself.
She didn’t expect anyone or anything to celebrate her
without her orchestration and participation.
She had the idea to carry her own candles in her own little purse: “just
in case the restaurant doesn’t have them” She was making certain she was responsible
for all the details of her happiness.
How often are we responsible for the details of our own
happiness?
We expect other people and things outside ourselves to
make us happy,
We say things like, “He should know what makes me happy and do it. “
But the truth is it is always our responsibility.
Derek Rydall, leading edge coach and founder of Emergence, examines
the word reesponsiblity and makes it two words: “ Response Ability” : our ability to respond to our own needs.
Self-care is taking care of one’s self
Everything you think you want from someone or something else
is a clue as to what you need to give yourself.
If you’re “too busy” to put yourself on your TO DO LIST, can
you really expect others to put you on theirs?
Whatever you think you’re missing~ is what you’re not giving
yourself.
Carry your own candles.
Light your own flame.
You are worth it.
Make BELIEF Affirmation:
I am responsible for my own happiness. I activate, generate
and radiate joy.
