Taking my own advice.  Shuts up.

Lesson 28: Take Your Own Advice

One of the most exciting things I’ve discovered as a result of lecturing and leading workshops all over the country is that we’re always teaching others what we most need to learn. Sometimes we tell other people what they need to do as a way of reminding ourselves of what we need to do. For example, I often hear myself reminding people in my audiences about the importance of taking time off to care for themselves – advice I could definitely benefit from taking!

This week, pay close attention to the advice you’re giving others. Look for the ways in which this advice could serve you.

Your Self-Love Assignment

For the next week, observe the advice you give to other people. What do you suggest that those around you do to better their lives? Do you encourage them to speak out? To set stronger boundaries? To be less concerned with what others think? This week, as you give advice to others, notice if you could benefit from a little dose of your own medicine, and take whatever steps or actions you’ve recommended for them.

If you don’t normally give advice to others, think about someone you’d like to give advice to. What would you like to say? Now see if this advice applies to you.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 50 points every time you take your own advice.
