Hello Awesome Stepmom,
You see, like I told you last time, I committed to loving myself for an entire year.
This just so happened to be during a time when my marriage was at an all time low. Neither of us had said out loud we wanted a divorce, but we both were happier when we were apart. Sad, I know.
I kept saying, “I just want you to be you and do you”. That hurt me so much, until I decided to listen. I dove deep into being me, loving me, falling in love with me, and then falling deeply in love with me some more. It was a feeling I never knew I needed.
During this time, I committed to show up for me the way I showed up for others emotionally, physically, spiritually, and energetically on whatever other level of me that needed me.
It was not one of those “I shut out the world”. It was more of me considering myself in the world I was living in and making better for everyone else -- and the list now included me at the top. Okay, some days I was the only one on the list, lol.
This is when a shift happened, and I had options to spend time with me or spend time with my husband. YES!!! I am not sure when it happened but our time as husband and wife became enjoyable again. Just the same I know it was important for me to keep on loving myself and not lose sight of these amazing things I was experiencing.
Not only did things shape up differently with him, but the Struggle of being a Stepmom was also released and the stress from concisely needing to produce at work was reduced as well.
So, I ask you again, when was the last time you showed yourself some love, and do you even know where to begin?
If you are not sure you may want to take some time to figure out what this looks like for you. Your success in life depends on it.
You deserve to be living a life that gives you get to experience confidence, joy, peace, and love in all areas of your life. I am here to support you in that. Join me for the Stepmom Love Thyself Challenge.
