Put Yourself First for a Change

Living your life for others is a very worthy sentiment. Research even tells us that helping others sometimes is good for our health.

But it is easy to forget that you can't look after other people's needs effectively until your own needs are at least minimally taken care of.

Always putting others first can make you a doormat to be trodden on. Putting yourself and your need to rest, relax, have fun sometimes, and so on, will make you a better carer, provider or parent because you'll be healthier and have more energy.

Putting yourself first is not selfishness

Think of Putting Yourself First for a Change as stopping for fuel. A car isn't being selfish when it stops for fuel. It needs to do this so it can serve the situation as well as possible.

It can start to feel really liberating when you prioritize looking after your own needs sometimes. It will give you a new lease of life.
