Master the art of showing up. Start small and scale up. Some of us are great at showing up for others, but not so good at putting ourselves first. Why not think of a few things you'd like to improve and take them slowly. We don't have to be perfect or awesome right away. Good luck and I hope you are inspired. Choose life. Choose happiness. Take care and best wishes. The art of showing up By Michelle Morris 28/12/2022 The art of showing up Sounds simple as a concept But for many people It is challenging to master If you spent your life Putting the needs of others first It becomes exceptionally difficult To honour your own needs at all So, try something simple Write down a goal or two Commit to giving it five minutes And increasing it over time By showing up for yourself You show that you deserve those goals By showing up for yourself You show respect and honour untold For in those incremental moments You're building confidence and strength Mental, physical, emotional and spiritual It all matters in the end You don't have to be perfect No one is born a master at anything Try to have fun and be open Learn and grow and find inspiration Try to focus on the positive 'Cos what's the worst that could happen? If you fail, you'll have learned something If you succeed, you'll have a new platform For each new skill level Helps us expand our range some more Until we find that we have learned Way more than we thought possible It may seem so silly But trust me, it will count And over the next year You will be amazed at the result © Michelle Morris, 2022
