@devoncnp: Millionaire advice: 5 reasons you don’t prioritize yourself 1. Seeking approval as a conditioned behavior: Growing up, being "good" was equated with being agreeable, which makes saying "no" as an adult feel wrong even when it is necessary. 2. Prioritizing others' comfort over personal peace: You may often commit to things you do not want to do to avoid causing others temporary disappointment, but managing that disappointment is not your responsibility. 3. Viewing self-care as selfish: Putting yourself first is necessary because you cannot pour from an empty cup; prioritizing oneself is essential for growth. 4. Addiction to being needed: Overcommitting and saying yes to everything stems from a fear that people will stop wanting you around if you are not constantly providing value through exhaustion. 5. Fear of disappointing others: Worrying about disappointing parents, friends, partners, or bosses keeps you small; the people who truly matter will respect boundaries, while those who do not were never truly respecting you.
