It's human nature - people cherish rare commodities.

But stay with me, this isn't to encourage playing games or being elusive.

The wisdom here is learning to value your own time and attention.

Prioritize activities and people that nourish you, not just those demanding your availability and taking your energy.

Don't forget that your energy and time are currency.

The most valuable one.

Don't give it away so often if it's not something you truly enjoy doing and fill you up with energy, or otherwise, you will be a barefoot shoemaker.

Ask yourself:

"What areas of over-availability drain rather than fill me up? How can I find a balance between being present for others while honoring my own needs?"

>> Start my 1-minute free exercise and add your thoughts!

You deserve to be valued for exactly who you are.

May we all find healthy boundaries.
