Self-Honoring Decisions

One perspective definition of honor, is to regard something or someone with a great respect and esteem. Have you cultivated a natural inclination to honor yourself? Are your micro and macro decisions self-honoring? Facing the in-depth truth of your answers to each question will help you make a pivotal shift in how you honor yourself. Honoring yourself does not denote that you are inherently selfish, but instead signifies that you can embody the capability to be selfless while also holding space for yourself. Self-honoring decisions indicate the values, core beliefs, and deepest intentions you hold in your heart. It is a form of executing your boundaries and keeping your needs/wants top of mind.

When you are faced with an option to settle for less than what you desire, do you choose to exercise patience to receive exactly what you want (self-honoring)? Or on the contrary, do you readily surrender your desire to the lesser option because of a limited belief? Making self-honoring decisions over unwholesome decisions will always provoke a favorable impact on your physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental wellbeing. Self-honoring decisions may include having a hard conversation about getting your needs met in a relationship, choosing to stay grounded in peace during arduous experiences, walking away from disrespect, suddenly changing your diet for more optimal health, and putting your full effort into making a dream come true. I hope that you pause, reflect, and weigh your options before moving forward with each decision you make throughout the year. Chiefly, may you feel empowered to make more self-honoring decisions that rewire your mind, so that it becomes second nature.
