How to Prioritise Yourself

June 29, 2022

Dear sister,

My guess is that you clicked on this blogpost with a sigh of relief, or a sigh of overwhelm – or probably a bit of both, as well as with the hopes of these written words taking some of that away.

I see you. 

In our busy world, hustle culture is the norm. We can access (social) media 24/7, are secretly quite afraid to get bored, and are subconsciously (and hell, sometimes consciously!) pressured into always expecting more of ourselves.

Because of all of this, we prioritise the wrong things. 
Yes, I’m getting a bit tough-lovey on you now! 

I invite you here to take a good look at your to do list, or at your calendar for the next week, and see where there’s space. Where is there space to be? To spontaneously see a friend, or have a moon ritual, or a journaling session? 
Where is there space to spend on your own, and/or on what you enjoy? 

It might be quite confrontational to realise there is little of that. 
But that’s okay. Because just even by acknowledging that, you’re already one step closer to feeling more at ease and connected to yourself. 

Go where that confrontation resides. 
Because my bet is that part of the resistance you’re feeling towards prioritising yourself is because you don’t want to let others, and their expectations, down. 

You are so wired to put others before your own needs and desires that prioritising yourself just feels plain selfish. 
Can you relate?

It’s okay. It’s okay. In a world that is hyperfocused on the external, we are conditioned to believe that other people’s expectations, plans and opinions need to come before our own. Especially as women, as we have centuries of submission and inequality to combat at the moment.

It’s okay. It’s okay. And it gets to end here. 

You very well know deep down in your heart and body that you are worthy of prioritising. That you are in need of some ‘me time’. That you deserve to feel energised, empowered and damn good about yourself. 

I truly believe that when we start prioritising ourselves and our own development, healing and empowerment, we create ripples that we cannot even fathom yet. When we feel better about ourselves, more rooted in who we are and more rested, we are better spaceholders for others (as well as for our future selves). When we know our self care is balanced and meeting us where we need to be, a sudden change of plans, conflict at work or spontaneous outing won’t affect your nervous system so much. 

When you start prioritising yourself, everybody benefits. 
It may be the least selfish thing you can do today. 
How’s that for a mindset shift?

If you’re looking for a quick place to start, I’d suggest grabbing your to do list and replace your first ‘have to’ with one ‘I want to/I desire to’. A.k.a. – replace something like doing your laundry or returning a phone call with something that would feel damn good for yourself, your energy and your nervous system. 

I explain it all in my latest reel on Instagram too. 

Truly, try it. Just for fun. And whilst you’re at it, give yourself permission to enjoy the prioritised self care. 
Feels indulgent? 
Amazing. Life is meant to feel fucking good, sister. Not medium, not mediocre. Incredibly good. 
And you’re one step closer to the most expansive version of your reality yet. 

It all starts, and ends, with your to do list. 
Trust the ripple effect. And go move mountains. 
You’re worthy of it. 

With love, 
Leneth x

In a world of social media and 'doing what you love', can things still be sacred? 🧘🏼‍♀️

I recently had to make the difficult decision to quit my weekly Yoga teaching, to make space for other projects and divine rest.
And something I have always struggled with since I became a Yoga teacher (and this trickles into other areas of my work too) is the sacredness of my own practice. 

I am so lucky and grateful that I have been able to create a business based on my personal interests and passions. Something I didn't expect to be a side-effect of that, however, is that most of what I love doing are also things I share about online and with my clients and customers. And as amazing as that is, it's also sometimes hard to relax into these things on a personal level now. 

So now that teaching Yoga isn't part of my workweek anymore, I have returned to the practice as a sacred moment for myself. And there's magic hidden within that. ✨

You may (or not!) notice that I rarely film myself meditating, journaling or doing Yoga for stories. For a while, I doubted whether I could fully claim that I was practicing what I was preaching if I didn't have the content to show for it. But as much as I love to share my life with you, I just don't want to feel distracted in my sacred practices, making sure I'm getting the right angle or that the lighting is okay. 🤷🏼‍♀️

All this to say - there's something to be said about keeping things sacred. There's a magic that can happen within if we keep things close to our heart. In a world focused on sharing, can you resource yourself without showing it to the world? Can that still count? 

It's an interesting topic that I definitely don't have all the answers for - because I also understand the other side of this coin, where it can feel incredibly empowering (and healing!) to share about your more spiritual side (trust me, I've been there too).

But exploring the sacredness of our beliefs and actions is definitely part of our path. It's no coincidence that I'm launching 'Sacralise Yourself', the mini training I've been working on for a while (!), on Wednesday. Keep your eyes peeled if you're keen to dive into your own sacred processes...! 🧡

In a patriarchal world, how do we move from feeling depleted, unseen and unheard to sovereign over our own energy, time and dreams? 🧘🏼‍♀️⁠
⁠
How do we move from being the saviour to the sovereign? 🔥⁠
⁠
This week, @drsarahcoxon and I uploaded a two-part podcast episode in which we talk about setting sacred boundaries and why we're celebrating the fact that we're limited beings with limited capacity.⁠
⁠
Do you truly feel worthy to receive nourishment, to rest, and to be selfish? No? Neither did we before we embarked on our spiritual empowerment path, and in this episode, we share our hot take on how we got to this point where we feel excited to go on retreats, hire coaches, follow online Yoga classes and practice guided meditations. You don't have to do it all on your own - and we're here to hold space for you too. 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
Sounds like your cup of tea? ☕️⁠
You can find the first part on Sarah's podcast (Rise, Priestess) and the second part on mine - check the link in bio! ⁠
⁠
✨ Sarah & I are so excited to create a safe and nourishing space for you this summer, during our July Portugal retreat 'Inner Sovereignty'. We'd love to meet you there and love on you in all ways we can, from amazing food, inspiring practices, the Portuguese sunshine and so much more. Check the link in bio to read all about it - or slide into our DMs to ask any questions!
