Sheena Johnson: Welcome back to the Prioritize You podcast. I'm your host, Sheena Johnson. Thank you so much for joining me in this space, for taking your time out to pause, to breathe, to reconnect with yourself. If you're joining me here for the first time, welcome. It's nice to have you here. I want you to get really comfortable wherever you are. If you're standing, if you're sitting, if you're lying down, get real comfortable. Give your body a little shake. Just be present, take a nice deep breath in. Today we're making this simple. choosing yourself daily. this episode, we're going to guide you to choose yourself daily, not in big overwhelming ways, but in small, small, consistent decisions. You don't lose yourself all at once. You lose yourself in the small moments. See, I've been nursing for 20 years and it's taken me over these periods of years by doing and not doing the things that makes me healthier, but by choosing to do things outside of my control and depleting my energy. And over time, I just forgot about myself. So want you to. bring yourself to know deciding that it's okay. to start to put yourself first now because you've left yourself for a long time. So take a deep breath in and repeat, I choose myself in small ways every day. From this day going forward, I choose myself in small ways every day. I choose myself in small ways every day. And want you to picture yourself making one small choice today. And that could be... anything. could be deciding to rest for a few minutes, for an hour, for the whole day. Just being with yourself. Or it could be saying no to one thing today. I won't respond to that email today. I'll leave it till tomorrow. be pausing just to look at the trees how they're swaying in the the wind outside. just looking. Picture yourself. One small choice today. And you can try this affirmation, I choose myself daily. I choose myself daily. and let that wash all over you. Let that run through your veins. all the organs that need to feel it because that's where the real change happens within. That's where the memories live. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much for your time. It's been a pleasure having you here with me. And remember, prioritizing you is your best medicine. Thank you.
