Are you committed to yourself and your needs. This can be a loaded question that folks often answer back- ‘I’m not selfish’. Being committed to your needs and you as a person is not being selfish- it is trusting in yourself. This makes us happier healthier people. Here are a few areas to assess and set goals towards:

• Be mindful of your experience. How much are you in your body? How much of the time are you experiencing your environmental experience?
• Have good self care & boundaries. Value you yourself and the things you need to stay balanced. Also value your time and boundaries- when you respect you, so will others.
• Know your needs and your wants. Move away from instant gratification and impulse. Lean in on your needs and the elements that have long term positive effects on your life.
• Know your purpose. Know your goals and the steps. We all need a guiding star and purpose gives us this. Purpose gets us excited to wake up in the morning and goals keep us in the right direction.
• Forgive yourself and others. You can not live to your fullest healthiest self if you are holding resentment toward yourself or others. Everyone processes this differently, so be mindful of how you feel you could let this go.

My insights: I like to review these every so often so I feel like I am still on course. For the most part if you keep tabs on these elements- you can feel true to yourself.

In the world: Boundaries are always a big one for people to keep. See how your boundaries and sense of self hold up in the real world. Set goals and rules if that is helpful to keep yourself in check.
