If you’ve ever sacrificed not just your own wants, but also your own needs, because you’ve been told that putting yourself first is selfish, you’re in good company.
But it’s important to realize that being concerned excessively or exclusively with yourself, without regard for others, is 100% different from asserting your own desires.
In this podcast episode, we look at how constantly prioritizing others' needs leads to feeling unappreciated and undervalued, and serves up experiences of burnout, and mental exhaustion. We note that it's our generation who often struggles with this idea of “not being selfish” the most.
And because of this, we really encourage you to start with small steps in areas around:
- saying no
- setting boundaries
- honoring your physical needs
Feeling like you might be letting people down is a tough one for us midlife women. However taking care of your own wellbeing ultimately benefits both you and people around you. It enables you to show up as who and how you want to be - and that's a win all round.
