"The only true security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way." — Tony Robbins
As a Virtual Personal Assistant in Perth and Wellness Events Host, I see it all the time, business owners, professionals, and everyday people running on empty, juggling everything except themselves. Sound familiar?
For years, I worked closely with business owners who put everyone else first, until burnout hit. I know because I’ve been there too! But here’s the truth: If you don’t invest in yourself, everything else suffers, your health, your work, your relationships.
I no longer see self-care as a luxury—it’s a non-negotiable. I make sure to:
✔ Read books and articles that inspire me
✔ Surround myself with people who challenge and uplift me
✔ Take care of my body through movement and good food
✔ Set boundaries around my time and energy
✔ Make space for rest and moments of quiet
✔ Keep learning—whether it’s free online resources or paid training that levels up my skills
✔ Prioritise my health and wellness, because a strong body and a calm mind are the foundation for everything else
Not every investment has to be big or expensive. The best ones are sustainable. Here are a few easy ways to start:
✅ Start your mornings with intention. A deep breath, a stretch, a few minutes of quiet before checking your phone. Small shift, big impact.
✅ Move your body in a way that feels good. Maybe that’s a gym session, yoga class, or a wellness membership—or just a daily walk in fresh air.
✅ Keep learning. Invest in paid courses, workshops, or coaching, or take advantage of free podcasts, YouTube videos, and online articles.
✅ Protect your time like it’s gold. Because it is. Set boundaries, say no when needed, and don’t let your calendar be hijacked by things that drain you.
✅ Fuel yourself properly. Not just with food, but with content, people, and experiences that lift you up instead of depleting you.
✅ Rest without guilt. You are not a machine. Downtime is productive too.
Through my Virtual Personal Assistant services, I help business owners clear the mental clutter, reclaim their time, and create space for what truly matters. Through my Wellness Events, I provide a reminder (and sometimes a gentle push!) to slow down and prioritise yourself.
What’s one small way you can invest in yourself this week? Choose something simple. Something that brings you joy, peace, or a little extra energy.
Because you are the best investment you’ll ever make.
