Dont Abandon Yourself. Self Care is Important.
Updated: Sep 3, 2020
Each one of us today is going through some kind of debilitating circumstances, whether it's financial constraints, career volatility, emotional disruptions each of these issues come into our lives to perforce us to grow.
Even in these tumultous times you need to take it upon yourself to look after yourself. When you do that you are consciously allowing yourself to look beyond the challenges you are facing. You are in essence taking your life back and your power back and not allow these issues to overwhelm you. Yes challenges do happen to each one of us but they must never define us.
Be kind to yourself amidst of these challenges, be compassionate to yourself and never feel bad for taking a step back to recharge and face the world again. These things that you think have power over you may cause depression, anxiety or panic attacks and only because you have allowed them to define you and think that they can end you. YOU ARE NOT YOUR PROBLEMS.
How do you then take control of your own peace again?

• Be Selfish.
Be selfish about your feelings, take into consideration how others make you feel, if there's someone who constantly doesn't consider how they make you feel, constantly abuse your emotions and your peace, cut ties with them completley. Remove them for your own peace and sanity. We have allowed people to drain and tax us emotionally because we just want to keep them in our lives. Be selfish about your feelings, put your emotional stability first before anyone else.
• Create Boundaries.
Alot of the time we are not being fully respected because we just have turned a blind eye to disrespect and degradation. Make sure you make it known when someone is crossing the line. Lack of boundaries is an open invitation to bully and dictatorship.
• Take care of your Spirit.
Feed your spirit and devote your time to spirtual growth, as much as it maybe difficult to be positive, optimistic and have a zest for life in difficult times, make sure your protect your Spirit at all cost, create a sanctuary that you know you can always run to when you need to bare you soul and spirit. Pray unceasingly and by Faith you will overcome your challenges.
• Spoil yourself.
This is very important for self care, and I know we fail to take care of ourselves enough because we worry so much about tomorrow and we feel guilty about taking care of ourselves. If you need to buy something nice or something you have been longing for buy it if you can. But dont splurge! Spoiling yourself also may come in a form of cooking a nice meal for yourself, running a hot bath with some Epsom salt to relax,sometimes you dont need to cripple your bank account for self care, just make sure you do not waste money for the sake of making yourself feel better.
Self care is very important for us we must invest our time in our peace, sanity and wellness. No one honestly is responsible for your emotional instability if you don't take it upon yourself to feel better and be better no one will. Be well with yourself though it may be hard, but make sure you take care of yourself more and you protect your peace at all cost.
My wish is that everyone may know their worth and not tolerate any form of belittlement.
