Have you ever felt as though you were living two lives?
One that everyone sees… And one happening in your mind…
So did Megan Weisheipl. She seemingly had it a successful career, a happy marriage, and two wonderful children. Yet, she felt unfulfilled, unhappy—and she couldn’t figure out why. Until her husband asked during an argument, “Why do you act like that?”
This pivotal moment created a wave of changes. Megan stopped looking outside herself and carved out time to understand herself and why she reacted the way she did. From this came The Selfish Hour and a determination to redefine the word selfish .
Using humor, grace, and vulnerability, Megan shares how her childhood created a lens through which she viewed a life fueled by anxiety, expectations, family dysfunction, and alcohol. By shifting her thoughts, she completely transformed her entire life...and it all began with one hour a day… The Selfish Hour .
I read this book a little at a time so I could try to absorb the truths and incorporate them into my daily thoughts and practice. I still have a long way to go but am learning how selfishness can be healing and help me fully embrace who I am meant to be.
Some powerful thoughts to grow on: - I operate from a place of fear, worry and scarcity because it feels normal and comfortable. I am learning to love and embrace my flaws and shortcomings. - Change your thoughts, it changes your feelings, which changes your actions and ultimately your results. Change your thoughts to change your life!
