Invest In Yourself!
As we delve into the concept of learning, our money blogger Aurora Medina asks you to consider how much you spend toward the goal of true learning…
If you keep track of your monthly expenses and you separate those expenses into categories, I would love to know how much money
you are allocating investing in
yourself.
I am not talking about make up, hair or fashion. I am talking about investing in things that help you grow as a woman -- retreats, workshops, classes, and conferences that help you open your mind and allow your spirit to shine.
We have the fortune to live in a country where we can enjoy prosperity and freedom. We are not in a third world country where survival issues are the undercurrent every day.
We are fortunate and blessed to be able to go higher in the hierarchy of needs designed by Maslow. Maslow’s is a theory in psychology depicted as a pyramid divided into five levels which depict the map for self-actualization.

Plenty of people out there refuse to pay a fair price for services that would help them to self-actualize, to be the best they can be. I see many women spending thousand of dollars in an outer image that portrays them as self-confident. I don’t think there is a problem with looking good on the outside, but we should put the same effort in looking and feeling good in the inside.
It pays to invest in yourself. What can you do? The journey is different for everybody.
Find a dream you left a long time ago, maybe learning how to paint, or a ceramics class. How about learning more about your unconscious mind or a drumming camp for women this summer? The sky is the limit!
Find something appealing for you and sign up. I guarantee you that you’ll increase your self-esteem and the money you use will be well invested.
Since I need to walk my talk I signed up for a week retreat next month with the Hoffman Institute. I am ready to move energy and make another wonderful transformation in my life. |
