"When I loved myself enough I learned to meet my own needs and not call it selfish." (Kim McMillan)
I learned…
Learn how to FISH, and care for your F.I.S.H.
If you don't, you'll be fried, slippery, and needy.
Not to mention, S.I.C.K. (Yikes.)
Have you ever tried to hold onto a fish?
It's almost impossible. They're slippery, slimy, unpredictable, and sometimes scary.
Perhaps you and/or your life feel like this at times?
Shellfish or selFISH...?
It's time to learn how to fish and care for your F.I.S.H.
It's time to stop buying into what the world says about SELF care and being SELFISH.
Not caring for your self is the most SELFISH thing you can do.
Here's how to fish and care for your F.I.S.H.
In order to fish you must...
1. Know what you're trying to catch.
2. Bait your hook.
3. HOPE.
4. Reel it in.
Real. It. In.
Then you must care for your F.I.S.H.
F.I.S.H.
F: Full Engagement.
A fish thrives in water because that's what it's designed to do. Whether it's swimming or resting, it's a fish 100% of the time.
Are you thriving in the environment called your LIFE?
If not, how can you change the water? (Or how you're swimming in it?)
Drowning?
Sipping?
I: Inspiration.
Without it, you're expired.
S: See. (In the sea.)
You must see yourself as sacred. You are.
See yourself as valuable.
You will care for that which you value. Period.
See yourself as being innately designed and prepared for the swim.
H: Health. Happiness. Hope.
It starts with hope, and continues with hope.
What do you positively expect?
What do you desire?
What do you need?
Meet your needs and invite them to say…
Call them by name.
Ask questions.
What do you believe?
What (and in whom) do you trust? (That includes YOU.)
ARE YOU READY AND WILLING TO FISH?
(This is the continuation of our Enough Is Enough Series — based on the profound little book, When I Loved Myself Enough by Kim McMillen and Alison McMillen-Givnish)
