I started four weeks ago with twenty kilometers each evening,
the daily tour build up to forty k’s and now I’ve started my commuting twenty-five
kilometers to work and a longer round back. That’s my Pay Yourself First. Keep
on cyclingJ

Hi Megan, yeah that can often be the tricky part. Good luck with setting your plan to Pay Yourself First and making sure the rest of the crew is looked after as well.

I pay myself first most of the time, but there are some people in my life that beg that I pay them first. As long as that doesn’t happen ALL the time, than it’s okay. I definitely wake up early so that I can get in my workouts, without any complaints from family/friends. Good post, thank you!

Hey Eric, thanks for you comments. From what I know about you, I think you’re doing a great job at making sure your priorities are paid first.

Perfect topic for a Make it Happen Monday, so easy to just let it slide, so important to force yourself back to center and take care of yourself. I fight this demon a lot. I feel selfish when I do things for myself first. I try to force myself to think that take care of my health will hopefully allow me to be around longer to take care of others so in a way it is not just for me.

Hahaha…I know! I’ve ben thinking about it a lot lately, but didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want to disappoint you if I didn’t get out there.
I’m thankful you posted this today.

I pay myself first by helping others live their life to the fullest. The bicycle is the tool I choose to help deliver my message, it gave me my life back and it would be selfish not to share how wonderful it really is….
