On this episode Brian Berneman talks about the importance of self-prioritization and its impact on personal growth and relationships.

Key Takeaways:

  • Self-prioritization is crucial for personal well-being and showing up authentically for others.
  • Choosing oneself over belonging can lead to more genuine relationships and better self-understanding.
  • Implementing boundaries and self-care practices are essential steps in making oneself a priority.
  • Gradual, small changes in daily life can help shift towards self-prioritization without drastic disruptions.

The Importance of Self-Prioritization:

  • Recognizing oneself as the most important person in one's life is crucial for personal growth
  • Self-prioritization doesn't diminish others' importance but enhances one's ability to support them
  • Airplane oxygen mask instructions - "Put your mask on first before helping others"
  • Challenge: Unlearning societal conditioning that prioritizes others' needs over one's own

Redefining Selfishness:

  • Encourages being "selfish" but not self-centered
  • Selfishness redefined as prioritizing oneself, especially after self-abandonment

Establishing Boundaries:

  • Boundaries are positive tools for understanding and honoring personal needs and energy

  • Gradual implementation allows others to adjust to the changes
  • Boundaries contribute to showing up better for oneself and others

Practical Steps for Self-Prioritization:

Shifting Mindset:

  • Gradual expansion of comfort zones to accommodate new self-prioritizing behaviors
