Put YOUrself first; Me Time is a must!

I’m the type of person to ALWAYS put others before myself but lately I have been watching other people’s actions and I notice some of them do not benefit me in any way. Recently I was hospitalized and not one of those people checked up on me. I had people (followers on IG, Snap and FB) who never met me checking up on me. Going forward a few days I started thinking, is it selfish to put yourself first? I questioned this because a few weeks back I posted on IG/SNAP/ FB “Put yourself First”. I had likes and a few comments. One comment was “that’s so selfish to do though!” Really is it? Like I said before I have always put others first from family, friendships and even relationships. When is the right time to put yourself first?

If you think about it the majority of people put themselves first. I’m looking at it from my career point and to get where I want to be in life I will have to put myself first. Like I stated above and in my previous post naturally I’m the type who always puts others wants and needs before my own and this is a challenge I have always had to fight. From now on I plan on taking a day out of a week and a weekend a month to just take time to myself and just have fun, relax or travel. Go m.i.a. on everyone except yourself!


Love those who genuinely love you. You are #loved!💞
