Happy Life newsletter talking choosing yourself and more

Are you being selfish when you make your own mental and physical health, and thus your happiness a priority? And then have the energy, love and positivity to contribute to the happiness of others? Or are you selfish when you are running yourself ragged for everyone and are too overstimulated and stressed and fatigued to really be there for others? Because that’s the problem with not being able to choose yourself. It’s always putting the needs of others above your own. Choosing yourself is not just thinking about yourself, but thinking about yourself in such a way that you can also be there for others in a better way. It’s true that choosing yourself will not help some people around you, because they are the ones who benefit from trampling all over your boundaries. But the people who are important to you and who really want you to feel good and be happy, will only encourage it. You can be a happier, more attentive parent when you take good care of yourself. Friends have a happier, more present and supportive friend when you take good care of yourself. A boss has a happier, more productive employee when you take good care of yourself. And you feel so much more energetic, balanced, confident, and happy when you take good care of yourself.
