Acts of Showing up for Yourself

Courtney J. Burg
August 24, 2020

“Showing up for yourself” is a term you may hear a lot, but then you may ask 🤔 wait what does that even mean?

I was really accustomed to abandoning myself. If I had a goal to go to bed early so I could wake early to workout but my boyfriend wanted to go party instead, I’d do that. I ran from bill collectors + felt the shame of being in debt because I spent money irresponsibly. I never could say “no” because I feared I’d lose people I loved, even though each time I was actually losing myself. Resting was unheard of, as I had spent years performing, achieving, and doing. A moment on the beach, reading a book, or sitting on the couch meant I was “lazy, unproductive, falling behind.”

Showing up for yourself doesn’t have to be in obnoxious, loud, billboard style ways. It’s actual most often the subtle moments that no one sees. It’s daily commitments you make + keep, regardless of who is watching. It’s little love notes that you give yourself that remind you of your worth. It’s a system you build that in moments of insecurity or doubt, you can fall back on with confidence.
