#beselfish

Be selfish because if you're not looking after yourself FIRST, there's no way you can take care of anyone after. It's logical.

"you have to fill your own cup first before you fill anyone else's"

If you don't happen to "meet people's expectations" because you just refused them in order to protect yourself. It's not selfish. Stop giving in to the manipulators and narcissists.

Being selfish does not mean not putting yourself out there, not helping people, not being kind to people etc. being selfish means you're protective of your boundaries and not letting ANYONE and I mean NO ONE, step inside of it. Being selfish means taking care of yourself first so you can be emotionally and mentally capable enough to take care of someone who needs you. Because if you do not protect your boundaries and energy first how do you expect to help anyone else? You cannot ever just give and give and give your whole life away to people. You need to be there for yourself. Be there for yourself like no one else is there for you. Be kind to yourself before you are kind to you. You can't love someone until you live yourself first.

Your Energy is Soul Precious.

Do not hesitate to be very selfish when it comes to your time and your energy. We are only here for an X amount of time, so it is best that you use that time wisely and put it towards things that actually matter to you. Things that will fulfill your highest good.

Being selfish with your time and energy does not mean:

Disregarding responsibility

Stepping on other peoples toes essentially

Disrespecting boundaries

Having to have things go your way all the time 24/7

To be selfish with your energy means to pull back your energy towards you instead of putting it into things that aren't serving you in the best way possible. It's recognizing that everything in your life is a choice and you can choose not to do things. You can choose to stay home or say no to something.

You don't always have to be the main attraction in people's lives. You can be a home body and choose not to talk to people every once in a while because you need a self care day.
