Take Care of #1 First – You

Always take care of yourself first.
Some people might think it’s selfish to put themselves first or feel guilty putting themselves first. It’s not a selfish thing. Putting #1 first is a healthy and necessary thing!
Sure, we can do things to help other people, even when things are not going well for us. How long does that last though? It’s usually temporary. Sooner or later, we lose momentum.
Eventually amid doing and being there for others, we think about our own lives. We think about: How we can be better. How to be happy! What we truly want for ourselves. What we can do differently to improve. We think about where the person in the mirror wants to be and the steps to take to make it happen!
At some point in our lives, we end up putting ourselves — #1 — first. Have you ever noticed how good you feel when you take care of #1 first? When you treat yourself to something long overdue or wonderful? When you love and respect yourself first? When you make yourself happy first? When you get yourself right first? (Getting right could be anything from spiritually to financial stability.)
When you always do better and become better for yourself first, you naturally become better for others. The vibe you radiate is seen and/or felt by others. So they feel good and do better too.
How can you truly be good consistently for other people if you don’t take care of yourself first?
