I haven't written a post in a while, mostly because I have been working my booty off and just haven't really felt motivated to. Today I want to talk about how important it is to make time for yourself through all the chaos and hustle and bustle in the world. Sometimes you just have to be a little selfish, shut the world out and put your needs first.
At times we find ourselves lost on a path that maybe at one point we identified with but now we just can't seem to find our way. It's hard to pinpoint the exact moment we started to feel this way or exactly why we do. I think everybody goes through this moment at some point in their lives, where you just don't know where you are or who you are anymore, it's the never ending journey of trying to find yourself. you might feel it at 20 or 55, life doesn't discriminate, it happens to the young and not so young. It is important for you to spend time figuring out what makes you, you.
Sometimes we get caught up in taking care of everybody else while we fail to realize we are neglecting ourselves. We become people pleasers, trying to make everybody happy, feeling bad if we say no, so instead we take on too much not realizing that we are drowning in our own inability to express what we really feel. Sometimes it's ok to say no and leave it at that, no explanation no feeling bad. The next time someone asks you for something or to do something that will compromise your well being, I want you to say no.
Being in a relationship, working, taking care of kids sometimes causes you to put yourself on the back burner, you're working to please your boss, to please your boyfriend, to please your family. You need to make time to do things outside of the norm, get involved in a new hobby that you have never tried before and have always wanted to do. Nothing is more satisfying than finding a new you, the fun you, the excited to be alive you, the you that wakes up and is grateful for life and everything in it. Set aside a few hrs a week where you dedicate time to do something you love, where you can unleash your inhibitions and grow within. Sometimes the world can cause us to get lost in it's identity, it's up to you to separate yourself from the world.
Dedicated to you♥
