I am my top priority.#178

Hello friends hope your day is going on well.
The topics for the week got me thinking and to reflect on myself.
it's a sensitive topic and looking at it critically,it's like choosing between two good options but my opinion is based on my experiences over time.

Choosing myself takes courage and determination,in the eyes of people it may be seen as selfish because some people still believes that a woman should put her family first over everything including herself, In my opinion it is ignorance and suicidal.
A woman needs to stay alive for her family, that's putting herself first to be able to take good care of her family.
yes I believe so much in family and to me family is everything but not at the expense of your life.

How do you take care of your family when you ain't emotionally, physically and mentally stable?
you won't be able to give in your best that's why as a woman
I would choose myself over my family,because choosing myself is the only way i can stay healthy and alive for my family,it means choosing a healthy lifestyle and setting positive and healthy boundaries for myself and others to operate well.

My family,my kids needs me at my very best, so for their sake I should intentionally choose myself for their sake.
choosing myself first is like taking a break to refill,it's like sourcing for energy for the next task,being emotionally stable to be able to fix others, it's like fighting so hard to stay alive for your family.

As a mum anytime I choose myself first
things go well and end well but days I choose my family first I start well but end up frustrated.frustrating myself and my kids for instance
waking up early and not skipping meals for family sake I tend to have that energy that enables me to attain to my kids well at the end everyone is happy.
I choose self care because it makes me feel good and physically, mentally and emotionally strong to handle pressures from family,it helps me to deal with life’s pressures and stresses.

It is not easy at times because women are naturally sacrificial,the instinct of a woman to care for her own,to provide and support takes the best part of us. but choosing myself first has helped me countless times to live on purpose,it has enhance my strength and makes me a better woman . choosing myself first is a requirement for my health and sanity.

I totally agree with you, choosing oneself over everything in the world isn't selfishness at all. It's a way of making oneself to be in the right state of mind so as to know how to make things right for the family. Thanks for sharing this with us lady!

Hi. I loved your post. We women have always been seen as the ones who give up everything, even ourselves. It's brave to choose yourself first. To have that renewed energy to take care of others.
