*She would bend over backwards to help everyone but herself.* -Old Self #fridayflashback

.

Does that sound like you?

Do you *do do do* for everyone else but put yourself last?!

.

Now…this concept of protecting yourself and doing for YOUrself. This was something very hard for me for a long time. I am a recovering people pleaser lol. Well I still try to make everyone happy and content. But I’ve also learned that sometimes that causes self-harm. Soooo it still isn’t easy BUT I can understand the necessity of it better now.

It’s ok to take care of YOU! You have to *DO you* and *take care of you*.

Some wise words and advice from a great book, “You are not being selfish enough if constantly giving and not getting equal energy in return.”

{T is for Transformation ~ Shaun T}

Remember to LOVE yourself and give to yourself! You deserve it!

AND here’s a tip. Listen to some books/podcasts etc. TOSS THAT Label “self-help books” out the door and see it at personal development and growth. Truthfully —> This is something I am so grateful for —> podcast/streamable apps etc. Which have enlightened me and given me HOURS of productive time in the car AND hours of education and brain stimulation 🤓. I’ve “read” more *my choice* books this way in the last 4 years then I have ever before.
