It pays off to invest in yourself mentally, emotionally and financially – and MiWayLife can help you with the latter!
There’s a reason the saying “when you empower a woman, you empower a nation” rings so true. Women are at the heart of families, communities and economies, often juggling multiple roles and responsibilities. But too often, in the rush to take care of everything and everyone else, you end up neglecting the person who keeps it all together – you.
This is why investing in yourself – mentally, emotionally and financially – isn’t selfish, it’s smart! It’s also necessary because you can’t pour from an empty cup. But when you’re full and feel strong, you can “overflow” in a way that has a ripple effect that extends far beyond your own life, from your children to your community.
How to Invest in Yourself Emotionally
Empowerment starts with emotional resilience, but what makes you happy? When last did you do something simply because it makes you feel good? As women, we spend so much time taking care of everyone else, it’s time to treat yourself to the same kindness.
Taking time to check in with yourself could mean talking to someone you trust, seeking professional support, or journaling your thoughts. Either way, acknowledging your feelings is the cornerstone of “emotional wellness”. When you invest in your emotional wellbeing, you remind your children, your friends and the rest of the world that their feelings matter too and deserve to be respected.
Invest in Yourself MentallyYour mindset shapes your reality. That’s why prioritising your mental growth is one of the most powerful things you can do. Listen to that inspiring podcast. Watch that YouTube video that teaches you a new skill. Say yes to the opportunities that challenge you.
Our former Deputy President, Dr. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, is still one of the most respected voices on women’s empowerment and a great example of how investing in yourself can strengthen those around you. In her words, “There is no great force for change, for peace, for justice and democracy, for inclusive economic growth than a world of empowered women.”
Invest in Yourself Financially
Financial empowerment is a must for all women and can look different for everyone. For you, it might mean setting up a tax-free savings account for a rainy day, saying no to unnecessary debt and getting the right insurance cover in place. This is where life insurance gets to shine as a powerful act of self-investment that gives you priceless peace of mind while creating a safety net for those you love.
