Putting Yourself First: Healthy Self-Care or Harmful Selfishness?

 Loving Yourself Without the Guilt of Selfishness ❣

Being a woman, born and brought up in a traditional orthodox set up, I have seen women giving more than receiving. We seem to have extra energy whenever we decide to feel great, while we are serving others.

Today, while getting ready for work, I noticed my hair thinning. This was me non-prioritizing myself over my enthusiasm while I was doing for others. Mind you! If my mother had requested me to do something about my hair for her sake, I would have done it with utmost enthusiasm and dedication. Here, I am again doing for others. I did not prioritize it as I would have felt guilty. 

The world has changed drastically for women, but they never prioritize their health, their happiness, their joy over others?

 Is it fair? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

As an individual does a women have the right to do something for herself?

Does she have the right to prioritize herself physically, mentally, emotionally?

The words "selfish" and "guilt" pop-up in her mind, the moment she prioritizes herself.!

She may be physically unhealthy, mentally imbalanced , running low on energy yet she never pays attention to it. That's what we all have seen since our childhood, am I right?

Be it a working woman or a home maker or a daughter or a mother, we have seen this all through and are living with it without empathetically revolting against it.. 

It is for us the women of today to realize that if we are mentally, physically, emotionally energetic and spiritually inclined we would have had the divine energy to be serving the society in a more beautiful way without feeling guilty about herself. 

This little change in our thought process would change the entire perspective and the world would be blessed with stronger mothers, sisters……women.
