I saw investing in myself as something like investing, you only do that when you have 'money left'?! When do you decide to spend money on something that is not tangible? My first major expense was the NASM PT training, which was the most expensive after my house and car. It's strange because I bought my house and car fairly quickly.
I thought it was quite a step, but it has brought me much more than I previously thought. I got to know myself even better and I feel more confident, which cannot be expressed in money. It was an exciting decision, but the feeling it gave me made me realize that this was the right investment.
What is an investment in yourself?
An investment in yourself can really be anything. A great training course, an event for enterprising people, but also support in achieving your commitment. I even think hiring a cleaning lady is an investment, because it gives me so much mental peace. You already know it, when I have doubts about it I tell myself that it is an investment and not a waste of money. That's all the books about various types of diets and the clothes in your closet that were bought too small (I can wear them again once I've lost weight...). I 'studied' economics, so I quickly think are they costs or expenses? If you don't have a financial background, you are undoubtedly thinking 'what are you talking about': So I am talking about an investment, in short, something that will benefit you for a longer term. If you can increase your self-confidence by spending money, then that is priceless!
You are worth investing in yourself!
Investing in yourself is quite difficult for many people, because what do you get in return? I must honestly admit that I would easily spend €150 on a pair of new sports shoes than on something for which I do not know what value I will receive in return. With those new sports shoes, I tell myself that they will last me six months, so €25 per month. A bargain, they will be delivered tomorrow...nice and easy to order from the couch...!
Yet other things may be worth much more, because they make you grow as a person. It contributes to the extent to which you feel fulfilled and builds your self-confidence. If you participate in a program at Enforce, it gives and costs you a lot of energy. Let it shine, sometimes it's not fun but it has to be done because you can live your full potential from a fit and powerful body. Away with mediocrity. What is that worth to you?
Some things cannot be expressed in money.
We quickly think in terms of things or whether something is worth something to us. We also easily spend money on things that are 'inexpensive'. A coffee to go, a sandwich, a magazine. It's a small expense, but the fun doesn't last long either. Will your couch break today and your TV break tomorrow? How long will it take before you're sitting on your new couch watching Netflix on an oversized TV screen?
