You will feel good and be a better person to all intents once you learn to prioritize yourself first. Ssssshhhhhh🤫 please put an end to that wierd feeling of being at fault or culpable. Prioritizing yourself will reap you satisfaction and joy at the end of the day, as you are your longest commitment.

You won’t always be a priority for others,

And thats why you have to be a priority to yourself.

Love yourself, Respect yourself,

Care for yourself, Be your own support system,

Your needs matter. Start meeting your needs.

Don’t wait for others to choose you. Choose yourself. Do it today. Do it now.

Put yourself first

So start doing these 7 things-

1. Stop doing things which cost your tranquillity of mind, composure or happiness-

Stop being hard and choose kindness for yourself. This might sound inconvenient or inappropriate at times but yes, learn to say NO! If it does not feel right, refuse to do it. Take charge of your own descision and you’ll get the difference of doing something under mere pressure and doing by your will.

2. Listen to your body-

Definitely the most principal point in prioritizing yourself is listening to your own body. It always gives signal. That is first baby step towards self-care. Pushing yourself above limits is not a great idea.

3. Foster positivity-

Observe in which direction your thoughts are flowing? Are they positive? Or negative? Nuture, feed and train them in a positive way and that will exceptionally help you enter a healthy state.

4. Don’t overlook your needs for the needs of others-

Being selfish or self-centered is not a crime. People around you willsurely make you feel substandard about it. But always choose yourself. People will never do it for you, even if given a chance. Don’t be afraid of meeting up your own needs or working harder to attain them in yout life. Thats the most easiest and truest way of prioritizing yourself.

5. Don’t give a damn about how people react about you-

You will never realize how much you have neglected yourself while pleasing others until you start prioritizing yourself. That will bring you true happiness and ultimate satisfaction. You cannot control how people will react and respond inspite of you being good always, better be good to yourself. Remember, No matter what you do people aren’t going to be happy.

6. Don’t overdo-

Be honest and loyal to yourself. Never push yourself harder. It’s always okay have limits set for you. Boundaries will make it easier for you to be yourself. Don’t over do, don’t over exhaust your resources, don’t over care, don’t over love, don’t over share yourself, don’t over work. Thats simply fine… people will get hang of it slowly.

7. Ask for what you need and want-

Its never too late to ask and take a stand for yourself and sometimes you never know you might get what you’d been looking for. Be straight, direct and open about your needs, likes and choices.

Remember, loving yourself is the greatest revolution. Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Don’t just do it for others, do it for yourself. And lastly, there is no shortcut, it takes time to build a better and stronger version of yourself for yourself.
