How are you supposed to be a blessing to yourself and others if you aren’t loving and nurturing yourself .
Don’t ever neglect yourself to help others . Self-love is the best love .
I know some of you who do things for others before taking care of your priorities first .
Loving yourself is good for your mental and physical health .
No one is going to check on the state of your mental health .
The people that don’t respect you will call you selfish and narcissistic, which means to be in love with one’s self .
I put my child first, but at the same time my mental and physical health is a priority .
If you aren’t feeling 100 % mentally and emotionally, how are you supposed to be a blessing to any 1 else ?
If anything, you would be more of a hinderance .
Once you are taken care of, you would be in a much better space mentally and spiritually to help others .
When a person is trying to help others while they can barely help themselves, they are being a burden .
The purpose of helping people is to be a blessing and not a curse .
Take some time out for self love and self care .
If you don’t take care of yourself, no one else will.
- Don’t tell them show them
You have to show people how to treat you
.When you love yourself, you respect yourself.
The way you conduct yourself is going to set the tone for what it is going to be .
If you don’t take care of your hygiene, people are going to treat you like a bum .
When you exercise ,bathe every day people are going to know that you love yourself .
This doesn’t mean that people won’t test you out .
Nurturing yourself is another way of naturally setting boundaries .
- Settle down
Get yourself in order so first so that you can be a blessing to others and not a curse .
I’ve seen people dedicate a few minutes of their time for all of the wrong reasons .
Instead of them being a blessing, they are being a curse .
- Are you an asset or a liability
Is you helping a benefit or a curse .
I’d rather see you not help than to be getting in the way.
The purpose of helping others is to be of value .
If you can not help yourself what makes you think that you can help others .
I’ve seen people who are not of value act as if they are helping only to disrupt growth and progress .
- Not every 1 is genuine
Don’t believe for 1 minute that many hands make light work .
Under special circumstances, they do but most of the times they don’t .
Not everyone on your team has the same goal.
The purpose of working as a team is to work to achieve a common goal .
When you have persons on a team that aren’t into team building, they disrupt progress .
- Don’t over extend yourself
The worst thing you can do is stretch yourself thin
I believe in giving, but I don’t believe in giving to the point where I am exhausted .
When giving, you want it to be fun and enjoyable not stressful .
Volunteering should be done out of love
I don’t like when I see people volunteering knowing full well they need the help just as much as everyone else
What ends up happening is that they start doing under handed things and they make the experience unpleasant for the people they are supposed to be serving .
Volunteerism is about serving and loving .
