¡Hola queridas Damas de Hive! Espero que se encuentren todas muy bien. Nuevamente estoy acá para participar del concurso comunitario semanal de la mano de @priyanarc con preguntas que nos invitan a la reflexión. Esta vez me enfocaré en la última. Bueno, empecemos.
¿Cómo se crea un equilibrio entre dar a los demás y priorizar tus propias necesidades?
Tras lidiar muchos años con esta parte de mí que le daba mucho a los demás porque quería complacerlos o que me tuvieran en cuenta para todo y luego terminaba agotada tanto física como emocionalmente, aprendí que primero debía priorizar mis necesidades.
Esto de tener amor propio y autocuidados es un viaje que no se logra de un día para el otro, hay que ir cultivándolo, por lo que al principio cuesta bastante. Sobre todo, para las personas como yo que nos sentimos con culpa si alguien acude por ayuda y no podemos o no queremos proporcionarla en ese momento. Hay que entender que no es un acto egoísta, si nuestra mente y cuerpo se sienten mal no podemos hacer mucho para ayudar al otro tampoco, es por esto que debemos priorizarnos y estar bien para poder acudir al llamado de ayuda.

También es cierto que muchas personas se aprovechan de nuestra buena predisposición en ayudar y cuando le plantas cara de que no podes hacerlo en ese momento se ofenden y te tratan como la peor persona cuando siempre estuviste ahí para ellos. Esas personas deberán aprender que el tiempo de uno también es valioso y si decidimos ocuparlo en ellos nos merecemos respeto, sino mejor sacarlos de nuestra vida.
Creo que en este momento de la vida me encuentra en un equilibrio entre estas dos vertientes, me estoy priorizando bastante y esto también me da más energía para poder darle a los demás aquello que necesiten de mí, pero solo cuando me sienta bien con ello y no suponga ir en contra de lo me dice mi cuerpo y mi mente. La clave también está en poner límites sanos con los demás, saber que pueden contar conmigo, pero no abusar de esto tampoco.

Así que estoy en buen puerto sobre esta consigna, recuerden que es súper importante que se prioricen y se mimen cada tanto, está bueno dar y nos hace bien también, pero si no pueden ayudarse a sí mismos, tampoco podrán con otra persona.

Hello dear ladies of Hive! I hope you are all doing well. I'm here again to participate in @priyanarc weekly community quiz with thought-provoking questions. This time I will focus on the last one. Well, let's get started.
How do you create balance between giving to others and prioritizing your own needs?
After dealing for many years with this part of me that gave too much to others because I wanted to please them or be taken into account for everything and then ended up exhausted both physically and emotionally, I learned that I had to prioritize my needs first.
Having self-love and self-care is a journey that is not achieved from one day to the next, you have to cultivate it, so at the beginning it is quite difficult. Especially for people like me who feel guilty if someone comes to us for help and we cannot or do not want to provide it at that moment. We must understand that it is not a selfish act, if our mind and body feel bad we can not do much to help the other either, this is why we must prioritize ourselves and be well to be able to go to the call for help.

It is also true that many people take advantage of our willingness to help and when you tell them that you can't do it at that moment they get offended and treat you as the worst person when you have always been there for them. Those people should learn that one's time is also valuable and if we decide to spend it with them we deserve respect, otherwise it is better to get them out of our lives.
I think that at this moment of my life I am in a balance between these two aspects, I am prioritizing myself a lot and this also gives me more energy to be able to give others what they need from me, but only when I feel good about it and it does not mean going against what my body and mind tell me. The key is also to set healthy limits with others, to know that they can count on me, but not to abuse this either.

So I am in good port on this slogan, remember that it is super important to prioritize and pamper yourselves every now and then, it is good to give and it is good for us too, but if you can't help yourself, you won't be able to help someone else either.
Well friends, this is my opinion about this topic. I hope that some of what I have expressed here has been useful to you and I invite all those who read me to participate and leave their thoughts.
Thank you for coming here and supporting my content.

I agree self-love and self-care and is an ongoing journey and you should always prioritize yourself so you better help others in the future.
I'm glad you agree, the truth is that sometimes it's hard to prioritize yourself, so it's good to always keep it in mind. 🤗
Unfortunately, I have met such kind of people in life and later they completely stopped communicating with me... :(
Thanks for sharing...
I'm sorry to hear that, but if that was the case, they weren't people who deserved to be in your life.
Thanks to you! Have a good weekend.
