You Are Worthy: Treat Yourself Like A Big Deal

Let’s stop pretending that your time is disposable.

Because it’s not.

Your time is one of the most valuable things you have—and it deserves to be treated that way. YOU deserve to be treated that way.

This is your reminder: you are worthy. You are a big deal. And it’s time to start acting like it. 

I Didn’t Always Know This…

It took me decades to figure it out. I used to say yes to every invite, every favor, every long phone call that left me depleted. I gave away my time like it was no big deal.

Spoiler: It’s a huge deal. Your time is your energy, your power, your presence—and once it’s gone, it’s gone. No one’s handing out bonus hours. There’s no time fairy granting extensions.

The real shift came when I finally started to treat my time—and my downtime—like it was sacred.

And I want that for you too.

You Are Not “Available” for Just Anything Anymore

Here’s the thing: you are not a public park. People don’t just get to drop by, take up space, and leave trash behind.

You’re a luxury experience. 💎 The kind of person who brings something real and powerful to the table. And that means you don’t owe your time to anyone or anything that doesn’t align with your values, your joy, or your growth.

Let’s make that your new standard. ✨

The Framework to Treat Yourself Like a Big Deal

1. Know What You Value
You can’t protect your time if you don’t know what actually matters to you.

So ask yourself:
What do I care deeply about?
Where do I want my energy to go?
What lights me up?

When something comes along that doesn’t align with that—whether it’s a conversation, a commitment, or a request—you have full permission to say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” 👋

2. Spot the Energy Drains

Not everything that asks for your time deserves it.

You already know the people who show up just to unload their baggage. The events that leave you more tired than inspired. The endless scroll or binge-watch that steals hours without giving anything back.

It’s not about judging yourself—it’s about getting honest.

Where is your time going... and is it worth it? 🤷‍♀️

3. Reframe How You See Your Time

For the longest time, I’d look at my calendar and say, “Well, I guess I have time…”

Now? I flip that mindset completely.

I ask: “Is this the best possible use of my time?”
“Will this energize me or drain me?”

And if it’s not a full-body YES, then it’s a kind but firm no.

That shift changed everything. ☝️

4. Be Okay With Saying No
Let’s normalize saying no without guilt or over-explaining.

Try these phrases:
“I’m really focused on some big projects right now, so I can’t make this work.”
“I’m prioritizing rest and recharge time this week.”
“That’s not aligned with where I’m putting my energy at the moment, but I appreciate the invite.”

Simple. Respectful. Powerful.

You don’t need to apologize for protecting your peace.

5. Ask: Does It Energize or Drain Me?

Let this question guide your schedule.

If an activity, meeting, or conversation fills you up—awesome.

If it leaves you feeling empty, resentful, or exhausted? That's your sign.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for preserving your energy. Remember, you’re not a free refill station.
When You Treat Yourself Like a Luxury… Others Will Too 💁‍♀️

Think of yourself like a high-end Chanel purse. Do you wear it to the gym? Do you toss it in the backseat of a car?

Nope.

You save it for the right moment. You care for it. You protect it.
That’s how you need to start treating yourself.
Because when you value yourself like that, the world follows suit.

You Are a Big Deal. Act Like It

From today forward, stop giving your time away like it’s no big deal.

Start filtering your schedule through the lens of your worth. Because you are worthy. Of meaningful connections. Of aligned opportunities. Of space to breathe, rest, create, and grow. 🌱

So protect your time like gold.
Because you're not just worthy… you're priceless. 🩷
