1. Put Yourself First
Choosing yourself isn’t selfish.
Instead, it allows you to build yourself and be whole and grounded to have enough energy — physically & psychologically — to navigate fulfilling expectations from yourself and others. But if you don’t, you’ll forget about yourself, and one day when you lift your head from the sand, you’ll feel lost, you’ll realize you’ve been living for others and have no idea who you are, and you’ll have to start from square 1 to find yourself.
But only when you’re full can you have the capacity and abundance to help yourself and others.
As Oprah rightly puts it, “You need something that gives back and nourishes you; your №1 job is to fill your cup and make yourself whole. You’ll be full, so your cup runneth over, and have enough to give yourself and to other people. If you don’t fill your cup, you’ll end up empty, dried up, tired & exhausted, without enough to give, and resentful every time someone asks you because your cup is empty and now they want some of yours.”
