Why You Should Always Be Your Priority ♡
Why you should always be your priority ♡
Hi all... Apologies for being so M.I.A ... I am just over a month in to my new job so have been focusing all my energy in to that!
But as I am now a month in ... I have been thinking a lot about how much my life and my perspective on it has changed in this time .. Driving home I rang my mum and even she can hear it in my voice how 'lifted' I am even in the way I talk and the things I am saying. It is crazy how one thing can change EVERY thing.
& it got me thinking about why you should ALWAYS be your own number one. You should always be your own hero. Because ultimately, we come in to this world alone and we go out alone... Every thing we learn, every one we meet are part of our journey.. But really, we spend the most time of each day with just ourselves... So this is why we should always prioritise our own happiness above all else.
I lived by this phrase for the first 6 months of this year.. When I was ultimately deciding what I wanted to do with my life... I have always been open about having anxiety but I can honestly say Chrsitmas to Easter time was a real struggle in even wanting to get up in the morning as I just saw no point ... And this quote really spoke to me that I would never give up, I would always keep going and better days would come along.
One of my best friends (Luce- I love u!) during this time said to me 'just keep putting one foot in front of the other' ... and this was the best piece of advice I was given at that time. When you are in a state of anxiety or even depression, it does not matter what advice people give or what they say as you are already in the state of mind where you just see the negative ... But this particular phrase was just neutral. She was not telling me which way to turn, or what to do... She simply told me to keep going and the rest would fall in to place... And guess what... she was a million percent right! So if you are ever feeling slightly lost ... try to remember this phrase... and to never give up!

We as humans are often people pleasers... but we have to learn to put our own happiness first, even if it can mean hurting others to do so... I have learned that my happiness is more important to me than keeping others 'happy'. I removed myself from situations that were slowly dragging me further and further down... and I am now feeling the benefits and the fresh air away from this energy. I have learned to eliminate toxicity from my life.. be it people, environments, vibes... No one deserves to be around negativity or to be made to feel like they are useless.. You ALWAYS deserve more than this.
Try by starting small... Telling yourself one thing you like about yourself every day... Three things you are grateful for... Then build up each week and each month... And see how your world changes. I am my own worst critic and at the start of this year my confidence was at an all time low.. But slowly I am learning each day more than before that this is me... and I am okay with that and I deserve every bit as everyone else to be happy.
It is important to learn to be your own best friend, your own superhero and your own biggest fan.
Sending love always, EP x
