Do You
Kindness, empathy, compassion, and nurturing are all commendable traits.
Many of us aspire to be people of values and integrity. As Individuals that
care about others, we sometimes find ourselves in situations where
someone is sucking up all our energy. We are out there trying to help and
be supportive of family and friends. Somehow while providing
help we get “played.” We must always use our sense of discernment and
know when to hold it and when to fold it. After so many times when help is
provided, we finally figure out that we should only help those who help
themselves. Additionally, we come to the conclusion that while we are out
there helping others we have no one there to take care of us. I say, “do
you.” Take care of yourself, do some of the things that you want in life. It is
not being selfish it is called self-care. Once you start taking care of yourself
first you will realize that this is the key to peace and happiness. You are no
good to others if you are not okay. “Do you” and if you can help
others without burdening yourself then do so. If it is pressure and a burden
say “no.” You cannot be everything to everybody. Take care of yourself and
see how peaceful and content your life will become. Thumbs up, like, and
share.
