Choosing Yourself Is Not Selfish
Why putting yourself first is the most loving thing you can do
For most of my life, I believed that putting myself first was selfish. I was taught — by circumstance, by the people around me — that my needs came last. That love meant giving until there was nothing left.
Healing taught me otherwise. Choosing yourself is not an act of selfishness. It is an act of survival. It is the foundation from which everything else — your relationships, your purpose, your peace — is built.
If you have been waiting for permission to put yourself first, consider this it. You are allowed to heal. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to choose you.
