Happy Friday, TGIF!
In our team meeting earlier this week, a question came up that stayed on my mind all week:
👉 "Are you truly taking care of yourself?"
That question kept hanging in my mind ever since...
Then today, during a casual meetup with a client and friend that I've known for years, I got a real wake up call. We were just chatting, and out of nowhere, she looked at me and said:
"Wei, you really need to love yourself more. Stop trying to reply to everyone the exact second a message comes in."
I was taken aback. I honestly thought she was about to scold me because I was trying to reply message when talking to her. 😅 But then she shared something so raw and honest:
"Over the years, I noticed you're always replying at top speed, either when you're out with your kids or on the road, or even during your admission for delivering baby. But honestly? No one values that extra speed because people just assume 'it's your job.' But if you rush and make a mistake, people notice immediately, including myself. We won appreciate you ! So slow down, protect your peace, and take care of yourself first."
That hit me hard. I am blessed. She was sent to me as a reminder. Thank you sis, you know who you are 🙂
It made me step back and reflect: How many of those "urgent" messages actually needed an immediate response? And how much quality time with my family or peace of mind was I trading away for them?
I don't have it all figured out yet, but I'm learning. I am so grateful for the people in my life who care enough to remind me to slow down.
So... if you notice me being a little slower to reply to your messages in the future, pardon me a bit! I'm practicing loving myself. 🙂
Let me pass this question to you today: What is one small thing you did for yourself this week to protect your peace?
Have a wonderful, restful weekend!
Love you all ❤️
