What about me?

I get wrapped up in taking care of other people. Sometimes I get the “save the world” mindset, while “I” and “me” lag in the background. I’ll spend my last dime to make sure someone else is content or comfortable, while I leave something important to me on the back burner. I don’t know how to ask for help but I’m readily available when others need assistance. I’ll put others first while I’m internally dissatisfied and frustrated. This is not a self bash paragraph, it’s just the truth. I’ve stopped seeing myself.


Anywho, I’ve said before, I’m important to me and I have to put myself before others. NOT in a selfish sense, but I have to make sure I am taken care of and happy. That way, when others call upon stacI, she’ll be (mentally, emotionally and physically) strong enough to deliver.

I can come up with a million reasons for why I’ve neglected myself. This pattern of self neglect is swiftly approaching the stop sign. Hence, comes, NUMBER ONE, the workout schedule.

I had pretty good weekend for myself. Friday, I got a deep tissue massage, that left my back SHOCKED and SORE (just like my legs (from cycling), which are, BY THE WAY, in severe pain right now). I know in the long run, I’ll feel a lot better and a lot more relaxed. NUMBER TWO, regular massage appointments.

I’m one of the most important things on this earth (just like you are.) So, I’ll have my regular massage appointments and I’ll paint my fingernails and I’ll take trips to visit fascinating people and I’ll work out like a maniac and I’ll schedule appointments when things hurt and I’ll say no and I’ll take care of myself first and vow to never stop seeing myself again!!!

Love ya lots
