Self-Love: Taking care of number one

Many people think that putting themselves first is selfish. On the contrary, putting yourself first puts you in a position to be selfless. The truth is that we are not very useful to others if we are not in good mental, physical and emotional state ourselves. Moreover, the only thing we really have full control of is ourselves. So why not treat ourselves the best way we can?

Here are a few reasons why you should always put yourself first;

• Teach people how to treat you – The best way to teach people is with examples. If you are always putting yourself last, people will not have a problem putting you last either. You will find yourself always doing everything for everybody and getting no appreciation for it. Start treating yourself as you would want others to treat you and notice how things begin to change.
• Be your own hero – When one has emotional stress or is in misery, everything they feel is deep within them and only they know how they feel. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone else about it and maybe that even makes them feel better. But it never solves the problem. Being your own hero means that you can lift yourself up when you are down. It means helping others but not sacrificing your mental state while at it.
• Cultivate a better relationship with yourself – When you begin to put yourself first, you will discover yourself in ways you never thought possible. You will genuinely discover your real likes and dislikes because you will finally have the opportunity to do so. You will learn how to value yourself and the people you care about more. And you will know where to draw the line when necessary and not let people cross it.

It’s time to turn the page on yourself and become your number one priority. Remember that the key to happiness and healthy relationships with others is in loving and taking care of yourself first.
