@melrobbins: If you’re taking care of everyone except yourself, this is the truth you need to hear. @Doctor Mike, board-certified family medicine doctor and the most followed medical doctor in the world, shows you why putting everyone else’s needs above yours leads to burn out: Your energy gets poured into everyone else until there’s nothing left for your own health. And without refilling your cup, everything from work, family, stress, even your immune system, starts to break down. But there are simple things you can do to start refilling your cup… Putting yourself first, validating your stress, taking time to recognize the good things that happened to you - no matter how small. Whether you’re trying to get healthier, caring for everyone else while neglecting yourself, or feeling frozen by conflicting medical advice, this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast will feel like a lifeline. 🎧 “The 5 Top Health Lies & The Truth You Need to Feel Better Today” #melrobbins #melrobbinspodcast #doctormike #healthadvice

Denis Rench Psychologist :
This is self-abandonment that comes from the fear of being abandoned by others.
You become the caretaker of others at the expense of yourself.

I’m a caregiver for my wife that’s had ALS for 23yrs. I’m 52 and this is a great analogy. I’ve made it a rule to do something for myself weekly and set vacation goals for me. (Of course I haven’t followed through yet)….. tired.

While I love this.... everyone talks about needing to take care of yourself and that's true! But what no body talks about is how. What does that really look like? How do you find the time? Life doesn't stop just because you run out of energy. Really what these videos make me feel is "great, one more thing I have to do". Like I'm constantly busy, constantly keeping everything afloat for my family, but I'm still failing.

This was me, I’m 53. I cared for everyone else except for me (putting myself last every time) until the last 3-4 years. It TOOK a toll on my body like I couldn’t imagine. Now I’m living with the consequences of not eating right, definitely not sleeping right overworking my body to the limit for so long. Now I understand that it’s ok to not be perfect and it’s not selfish to put yourself first (which is still hard for me to do at times). Please take care of yourself even though your young and energetic you keep going down that route, with time your body will give out, trust me! Love yourself enough to take care of yourself!🥰

Great tangible example of why we need to fill our own cup. You can’t take care of everyone and everything else if you run yourself into the ground. Taking care of ourselves makes us even better at caring for everyone else!
