Selfishness...And Other Surprising Mindful Service Skills | Ep. 86

Serve Conscious

What's your favorite style of self-sacrifice?
The martyr?
The fixer?
The soloist?
The co-dependent?
All of these archetypes promise us problems. And though they have honorable aspects to them (which we will talk about connecting to), they ultimately compromise our service game. This episode hopes to disrupt the myth that good service somehow needs to involve a constant outward flow of our energy into "helping" others.
Draw boundaries around when you need to serve others and when you need to serve yourself. Service is not about quantity, it's about quality (and quality happens when you serve YOURSELF with the same gusto that you seek to wow your customers).
Bring care to yourself that truly fills your service tank - starting from the moment you open your eyes. To get started on this path I share a key daily routine for service professionals.
Use mindfulness to notice crucial streams of information that we normally ignore during the service exchange. Notice what truly requires attention and meet the needs of the moment.
Learn simple but shockingly effective ways to convert negative thinking into positive support for yourself.
Master yourself one small action at a time with another simple mindfulness practice that will do wonders for rebuilding that most important service relationship: the one you have with yourself.
