We live in such a fast paced world these days that everything is a rush and we are so busy making sure that those we love have got everything and we are so busy taking care of them that we forget about ourselves. So today is a reminder to show yourself as much love as you show to everyone else around you because your needs are just as important if not more so.
I learnt this the hard way but luckily I managed to get started about taking proper care of myself from a fairly early age. I was one of those people who always wanted to impress everybody else and when I kept on getting rebuffed or taken advantage of I just decided that I would just focus on my own needs. The best thing I ever did was to show myself that I do love myself and that made people stop and take notice of the fact that I do exist in this world.
I have gained so much more from just loving myself and being myself and taking the necessary care of my needs. It has allowed for so much growth and as a result everything around has grown too. My life is so much healthier and stronger just from making that decision.
There is a very old but very good saying in this day and age that goes, self-care is not selfish, it is a must, it is essential for our well-being, even more so now that at any other point in time. If someone turns around to you and says that you are being selfish then the problem is with them and not you. They are the ones that are afraid to make themselves a priority.
So stop worrying about them, their needs are not for you to concern yourself with. Just focus on your needs and everything else will work itself out. It is exactly how I get through all the nonsense that gets thrown my way. It works like an absolute charm.
