This was a really good point Adam! Never thought about this concept before. I wonder if you have any advice, since I’ve pretty much moved to the 3:1 ratio for a few years now, what advice do you have for people with loved ones who say they’re selfish for doing that?
Hey Khadejah 👋 and sorry for replying to your comment so late ... I was away on a business retreat, and right before it dealt with preparations and so I simply didn't make time to be online as much. I'm here now!
And, I believe that congratulations are in order, that today is your birthday (?). If that indeed is the case, happy birthday 🎂
Now, let's talk about your question. This will typically comes down to us wanting to recognise that when we pour into our self first before we pour into others we have much more to give. Meaning: when our cup is full(er) we have more to give, than when it's empty (or close to empty).
Is it not true that, when you feel amazing, that you have that much more to give to people around you? And on the contrary, when you feel bad or in a low mood, you struggle with being your best self.
Is this helpful, Khadejah? What else comes up for you when I share this?
Also, in one of my older podcast episodes, I talked about about this, which could be an interesting episode for you to check out ... Don't worry, it's not long or anything. Most episodes are under 20 or 15 minutes. 👇
