Why Learning To Love Yourself First Can Be Critical To Your Mental And Physical Health With Iselyn Hamilton Austin

For many women “putting yourself first” does not come naturally. In fact, many women have been socialized to believe that putting themselves first is a selfish act, so they put everyone’s needs before they own, always talking about their dreams and desires in the future saying thighs like, “When the kids get older:” “When I get that promotion that ‘ve been working so hard for.” “When I have the time.” “That’s when I will travel, or follow my passion, or start that nonprofit organization.” The irony is that oftentimes, a life-altering medical diagnosis, like cancer, is often the catalyst that can throw them headlong into living the lives they had been planning for, as they face their own mortality.

In this episode Iselyn Hamilton Austin shares how her breast cancer diagnosis taught her to make herself not just “a” priority, but “the” priority! Iselyn describes her cancer diagnosis as “...like joining a sorority you never asked to be in.” You’ll want to hear how breast cancer became the catalyst for her work not only in the nonprofit space, but her work with other women who received similar diagnoses. Thanks, in advance, for listening and sharing.

Did you know that your internal dialogue frames the narrative messages that you tell yourselves over and over. This narrative has the ability to change your mood and more significantly, can lead to depression and anxiety; the more you do it, the more it becomes embedded in your subconscious until it becomes a habit.

For anyone who is not aware, affirmations are a tool for shifting your thoughts from focusing on the negative to focusing on the positive. Since we all have positive and negative internal dialogues running through our thoughts each day, those thoughts are shaping our reality with their scripts. When the script is positive,we feel upbeat, confident and sure of ourselves. However, when those scripts are negative, they can feed our self-doubt and can discourage us from trying to reach our goals.
