ID: The circle web with self care in the middle of circle along with 12 different ideas. The ideas are: physical condition, acceptance, pleasure, support, slow down, community, curiosity and exploration, priorities, attention, choices, kindness, and awareness.
A lot of people doesn't have time to explore themselves or have a chance to do self care. YOU is the important key of YOURSELF in your own life because sweetie, without YOU, you will not able to running well or will not able to be successful, or the important part of all, you will not able to be there for people you loved the most.
The definition in my perspective means that you are running on yourself within your mind, physical, emotions, and the whole you. The way you grew up is based on your environment, experiences, life lessons, relationships, friendships, and even social media, they do impact on you but how? Here is the how: people. The people do influence you and your thinking right? Without people being around you, where will you be at right now? How will you manage to survive on your own? With people, we will able to function correctly but why do we need people for? Why can't we have ourselves? Well, here's the answer: YOU can!
From my experiences of self-exploring, I have learned so much about myself that I couldn't even imagined back then and now I can imagine myself. All my life, I have always willing to help people out and always do things for them especially the ones that I love the most. I used to say YES to everything to the point where I would exhausted myself and end up hurt and betrayed. I always telling myself, why do I always say yes so many times? Why do I always getting hurt? Why was I being sensitive? What did I do wrong? All of the questions are based on your experiences and you learned from it. I almost never have time for myself---not at all. Until now. I finally have a chance to exploring, learn what's self care means, and everything else three years ago. I keep telling myself that why didn't i do it long time ago? But again, it varies on people around me and it varies on how we respond to them and how we reacted to ourselves. For example, I am sensitive person and I normally reacted quickly when someone and I ended up arguing or fighting. I would cry right away and I normally keep everything to myself. Presently, I am doing SO MUCH BETTER than before.
How? Why? What? When?
Before you ask me these questions, ask yourself the same thing. Why did you do it? When? How? What make you do it? For how, usually money....i always willing to loan some money for small amounts but I never get any favors back and that's how I knew people are impatient and less generous. Why did I do it? Because I love them and even tho I don't know them well. What's the cause that makes me do it, honestly, I am still figuring that part out and I have no idea what. When do i do that? It varies and it depends on where and which day. Now, NO is my favorite word, honestly. It DOES feel great to say no to everyone and to every single thing that they ask for. Because i learned that it's OK to say no sometimes but it's NOT OK to say yes all of times. When it comes to money, I have to be careful and I always pay/return the favor back. At the price that I can afford that is. Sometimes people are generous and mention that I don't have to pay them back but I do want to. However, I knew that they wouldn't accept the favor back.
ID: A gray background with word description on the top of sign said: 10 essential self-care tips. The first ten tips: Keep things small, build momentum, add physical movement, deep breathing, change the dialogue, celebrate every win, set appointments, cultivate relationships, have fun, and surround yourself with beauty.
Change your habits and you will feel great! Believe me, I do feel amazing when I manage my limitations and learn from my mistakes. You can do it too. Remember you are important to yourself because you are only ONE. There's no one else that's exactly like YOU. You're on your own mind, on your own physically and on your own emotionally. There are no one else that's like you. There's no one else that thinks like you. Self-Care is really important and you know you can do it and you can do better at taking care of yourself.
If you don't take care of yourself...what do you reckon will happen? Emotionally breakdown often and that will happen and you will be mentally exhausted.
TIME TO STOP and SAYS YES to YOURSELF!

Until next time....
