We actually take a lot of things for granted and that includes ourselves too, it looks like it's a lie, but obviously this is a sad reality...
you see we live in a world and in a generation were every body's trying to hard to make it by all means, doesn't matter how you do it, just make money, why all this, just to impress?, just to measure up, we do all these even at the detriment of our own self.
I watched a short clip of one of Nigeria's skit maker and in that video he advised People should try and take good care of themselves, the reason being that there are so many untimely death that could have been avoided if only we pay attention to ourselves.....
This week @scifimultiverse community invites us to really look a bit into what's going on with us, how do you prioritize your own self....
I think I'm actually guilty about this, when it comes to prioritizing self I would be at the end of the line, due to how things turned out to be, I am always looking out for others, their wellbeing their happiness, I do this even at my own detriment, I hate seeing someone or making sad, i don't know how to say NO because i feel the person will feel bad, no matter the countenance of that person i would try to put a smile on that face, do whatever it takes to change the mood.
but then I realise that people don't reciprocate this to me, I can be sad or struggling or in a mess and it seems no one cares, I expected people to show me love as much as I do to them but no, that's when I realise I need to start prioritizing myself.
you understand that life is in phases, and we also learn along as we grow, I have learnt how to readjust and adapt, have you heard that saying Experience is the best teacher? yeah, that's because that's what it is. some how others will influence your character and behavior, such that we act and behave in some ways due to what others have done to us and our passed life.
prioritizing yourself means putting your self first, doesn't mean you're selfish, it means you should be more concerned about your own well-being because if anything happens to you the world will not stop or stand still, it will just be a matter of minutes and every body is back to their normal life, so handle your self with care, prioritize your health, your wellbeing, your peace of mind, your joy and Happiness, all that patterns to good life, eat well, sleep well, take very good care of yourself cause that's all that matters.
so next time ensure you look out for yourself more, care for others but not at the detriment of your own self, place yourself on top of the chain, cause you re all you've got.

Many of us don't even take care of ourselves, no check ups, don't even know what is going on in there, as long as we wake up and we can move then we are off.
like seriously... even i am guilty
You are absolutely right, because we decide to choose ourselve first doesn't mean we are self. It is simply the right and the best thing do do.
I use to also once put others above myself and while I use to enjoy it, the first time I prioritised myself, it was a different kind of fulfilment that makes me want to do more for myself.
