Three treasures you should never take for granted…!
Three most important treasures in life that we should never take for granted or ignore:
1. Mother
Whether she lives under the same roof (if you are so lucky) or 10,000 miles away, she knows how to provide you the best care from anywhere, in any moment and through any obstacle of life.
Mother may have a different ‘label’ in your life, even a different gender but it is the person who has nurtured you to adulthood, has always been there for you even if you hit rock bottom. She knows when you need her care, support, wisdom, and strength. If you are luckier than I am, and can meet, take photos, tag, be with your mother fearlessly, I ask you to celebrate her/them every chance you get. Don’t wait for a commercial gimmick day, make her your celebration every day.
I can tell you this, even when I know for my own family’s safety, I cannot be with them, hang with them like a normal family, I make sure I am in touch with them every single day. If you are too busy to tell your mother just once a day that you love her, there is no one poorer than you.
See/Call your mother every day, even if just for 2 minutes and only to say, ‘Hi mum, just wanted to see if you need anything and I love you!’
2. Water
Good day, dreadful day, rough day, tough day, drunken day, lazy day, sick day, fit day … no matter what the weather is like … drink 6–8 glasses of water every day.
Water keeps your immune clean, cleanses your body of any yuckies and keeps your blood and oxygen levels healthy which helps your immune system more than you realize.
Also, save water. Every single time you are about to waste water, ask yourself, ‘Did I take for granted, what some people struggle really hard to just enough of to be able to survive each day?’
3. Self-Care
9/10 people, including those who talk a lot about self-care, often ignore taking care of themselves. Self-care isn’t just a massage booking. Nor is it a run at the beach or swim in the pool. It is looking after your heart, mind, body, and sustenance responsibly, including finances and relationships.
Remember, if you are not treating yourself as your number 1 priority, there is absolutely NO ONE coming to save you, protect you, look after you and even if they did, their efforts will be a waste if you ignored yourself. Yes, even mother’s love will not be able to protect you if you ignored yourself. Mother, your superpower can do so much for you, but she cannot eat, sleep, relax for you. She can only constantly nag you to be good to yourself. But the ultimate responsibility is yours. If not for yourself, do it for her because she is only happy when she sees you genuinely happy, safe, healthy. (See … it is all connected!)
Let go of what is making you rob yourself of peace, care, joy, and abundance. It is not worth fighting for. Letting go is also an act of self-care. Don’t be the sand in the jar, be the rock and pebbles that are more important to focus on. The sand must be the last priority and last permissible item to take space in the jar of your priorities.
Just focus on these 3 aspects INTENTIONALLY and see how your life changes.
You will thank yourself for this.
I know I do.
