Self care and self love is so important for your mental health.

It's not being selfish if you prioritize your own self. Somehow we are brought up and conditioned in a way that prioritizing our own self is seen as a selfish thing. This has a lot to do with the gender we have , the society and culture we are brought up in..In most cultures, women suffer more as they are judged more.
Sacrifices are always glorified. And under the societal and cultural pressure, one tends to ignore the inner call and the emotional needs. This is not healthy and can leas to various mental and emotional issues in long run. Remember that you are as important as any other person and other obligations of life.
Take good care of yourself.

I have had to tell myself many times that it is not selfish to prioritise myself and that I should take time to do the things I enjoy.

For the longest time, I used to feel guilty for wanting time to myself or for wanting to spend time doing something I enjoyed, and the more I felt guilty and did not do it, the more depressed I would feel.

It is important to put yourself first sometimes, and you should never feel guilty for doing so.

I always make sure I take care of myself physically and mentally. Anyone that sees it as being selfish should think whatever they like I don’t care. But anything that will pose a threat to myself I won’t allow it.

From my own point of view, it is men that are primed by culture to lay everything down regardless of how it would affect them. Men work long hours just to provide for their families. I have seen men that can't afford to wear good clothes or even look good, and they are working very hard and earning well. Everything goes to take care of the family. I think at a point too, men need to learn how to prioritize themselves too.

Yes, it is very important. No one is going to take care of you, so you need to take care of yourself. I always take care of my eating habits; I don't eat fried things even if my cooks them. I eat fruits of my own even if nobody asks me to eat at home. When I am tired, I go to another room and spend some time alone. Yes, the family is a priority, but I don't ignore myself.

For a while now i have been so focus on ensuring that others around me are okay and are doing fine, was even willing to sacrifice my own happiness for them, but at the end of the day no one cared about how i feel, so am most focused on my self happiness right now.

Facts! I used to ignore that part before, just grinding nonstop like a robot. But last year taught me better. Sometimes you just need to rest, cook something nice, take yourself out, or even switch off your phone for a day. I’ve noticed small self-love moments go a long way. Mental health is not a plaything at all.

You will find yourself better when you spend sometime for yourself. Just working like a machine will always stress you. I always take sometime for me to relax and get energised.

Welcome!
