“Sometimes you just need to be selfish and take care of you. If they love you, they’ll understand.” – Robert Tew
I was raised to put everyone else’s needs before my own. After decades of living this way, I finally started to burn out. I am only now learning to take care of myself, which has been extremely difficult. When you have always put everyone’s needs before your own, putting yourself first feels very foreign. However, I realized that if I didn’t start prioritizing myself I would burn out so quickly and those who depend on me every day may lose me. So I started working on taking care of myself.
I share this because if you don’t take care of yourself you won’t be around for those you love. So always take care of yourself first!
Happy Thursday Everyone!
