Show them how it's done. 💫
What happens when you think of yourself as an Exemplar?
As someone who is showing how it's done?
A Black woman in a yellow long-sleeve shirt with long wavy black hair talking to another person slight off camera. Her face is serious. Her head is tilted and she’s saying “I need you to be setting an example for the newer dancers.”
Because really:
Our kids follow our example so much more than they follow our advice.
Our clients are watching us - are FEELING us - even more than they're listening to us.
It's that whole Actions Louder than Words thing.
When you take a break, you show us we can take a break.
When you change and grow, you show your beloveds that they can, too.
When you set and hold a boundary, you're showing how it's done.
So
Whatever it is you're wanting people to do, you gotta go first.
You want your audience to invest in themselves, and in you?
→ YOU invest in you.
You want your kids to be kinder to themselves?
→ YOU be kinder to YOURself.
You want your client to value your time?
→ YOU value your time.
You want your partner to spice things up, and take you out on dates?
→ YOU spice things up, and take yourSELF out on dates.
It works. Like magic.
Not always right away, and not always quite like we expected.
Integrity is a magnet that attracts what you value and repels what you don't.
Walk your talk and see for yourself.
love,
Natalie
