Self care is not selfishness. If I don't take proper care of myself, then I can't see anyone doing it for me.
This image belongs to me.
I have seen a lot of people die because no one cared about them. Some died because they feel that the love they received from others is not enough to carry them all the way. All of these are a very big lesson for me. I can't let someone make me feel that way. Not now that I have seen a lot of things with my two eyes.
Scifi multiverse week 44 edition 2 is all about self love/care. Ot is true that we live in a world where everyone is all about trying to make others feel okay. Trying to Impress others and forget about ourselves. Our mental health is involved here and if we don't do the needful it will go bad.
HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MYSELF?
personal love:
There are things I know that I need and no one is seeing it. Sometimes people misunderstand me, but I don't let that get to me. I go straight ahead to give myself all the attention needed. I try to watch movies when stressed and I also go out of the house at times to get what I want to eat and eat out so that the kids won't disturb me or anyone around. Hahaha 😂 I laugh because I enjoy this aspect so much.
Secondly, I try to set boundaries like when I want to sleep no one should disturb me. When I feel like just been alone I don't allow people encroach my privacy. Sometimes people don't get it when I say I want to be alone, but is a way of relaxing and taken some things off my Head.
Managing responsibilities:
Most of the things that I do every day is to make sure to do a post in a day, cook food for everyone and make sure the kids are okay. I don't like the rush hours. I take my time in the morning to do it at my pace, no one should tell me when to do it. I can decide to watch movies in the money and I don't have problem with that because I will still do my work later.
Building resilience:
This is just who I am. I love pushing until I see results. Maybe it came as a result of all the hard times I have faced in life. I try to give myself all the encouragement that I need snd it helps me to keep moving and never give up
