MAKING YOURSELF A PRIORITY- My Story On Emotional Overload

MAKING YOURSELF A PRIORITY

Hello #scifimultiverse, how are you doing? Trust fine. It’s yet another exciting time here. I welcome you to my blog. I am happy to participate in this week's prompt and look forward to your feedback in the comment section.

While growing up, I was taught by my late mum to treat others first before myself. I grew up with that mentality and treated others first before myself.

So, everywhere I go, I carry that notion both in the church and at my place of work. For example, when I serve food at occasions, I will serve others and serve myself last. But the annoying thing is that often, by the time I come for my food, it has finished. To pacify me, they will start doing damage control for me to eat. At the end, I will eat just a fragment of the big portion I served others. This sometimes will leave me angry and hungry until I get home.

Secondly, I found out that a woman who always reaches out to me for financial support is living large and chopping life with the funds she sourced while she uses me and others to cruise. The day this thing was exposed. I felt devastated and broken. The reason being that I was denying myself and family some comfort to make another person comfortable, only for me to hear the rumours of her escapades.
That day, I went home feeling cheated, betrayed, and used. I nearly lost it.

Furthermore, I have had several occasions where people used me to achieve their aims and abandoned me. The most recent one was where I helped an employee get approval for a loan that had lingered. To my utmost dismay and shock, when the loan was paid to him, he moved on quickly and never turned in the way he normally visits my office for approval support. I was deeply hurt because I personally got the approval.

My people, I went to my office and ruled off every other person except me. Changed the narrative to others last, myself and family first. They said once bitten, twice shy; mine have passed once, and so, I am over shy here.

Presently, I have found out that there is a lot of lip service, betrayal, and insincerity. So, I’ve made myself the utmost priority to preserve my peace and mental balance. However, this does not mean that I won't help or support people. No, because there are great blessings and rewards in helping people, but not overstretching myself. If it is within my comfort zone, oh, yes, I will, but when it stresses and pressures me, I will politely request the person check elsewhere. Furthermore, I now eat or take out my food before I embark on serving others to avoid stories that touch.

After taking the above steps, I observed that I am no longer overstretching myself, I work within my budget and limits, and I do not look stressed or pressurised. I feel more relaxed, calculated, and spend my funds like an economist.
