Investing in Yourself Is Always a Good Idea
ALWAYS!
When was the last time you invested in yourself? When did you last sign up for a class or a course? When did you last learn something new or inquire about a new skill?
Have you thought about investing in yourself lately? Well, if you've been thinking about doing it, I say go for it. Go for it because investing in yourself is always a good idea.
As a mom, I deal with mom's guilt all the time. I can be getting my nails done (self-care), and I'll start feeling guilty because it's taking too long, and I should have been home already to be with my kids. I can be working on my business, and I'll feel guilty because everything I need to get done on that day is taking too long, and I start thinking, 'should I be spending time with my family instead?'
And sometimes the mom guilt creeps up when I'm thinking about investing in myself – 'should I be spending money on this when I could spend it on my family instead?' But I'm here to tell you and myself that investing in yourself is always a good idea.
There is nothing bad about bettering ourselves, working on ourselves, or learning something new. Investing in ourselves is probably the best thing we can do for ourselves. There's always room for improvement, and there is always something new to learn.
There have been plenty of times when I've invested in myself. I got my bachelor's and master's degrees. And then, I obtained my billing and then my coding certification. Last year I invested in a business and finance course. And now, this year, I've been investing full force in my business.
So, I want to know when was the last time you invested in yourself? And if you haven't, think about why not? Is there something you'd like to learn to do but haven't started? Let me know; I'd love to see how I can help.
In addition to sharing my thoughts, personal experiences, and opinions in this newsletter, I also want to provide encouragement and personal development advice. So, this week, I'd like for you to think about two things:
When was the last time you invested in yourself?
What is something you'd like to do that you haven't done?
Let me know!
With Love, Heidy
