Hello Lovely Read friends!

Hope you are all doing fine.

I was browsing my Facebook photos looking for a picture that I can use for the Shadow hunters challenge when I suddenly thoughts of some things that I have never done. It started with I should have taken more photos without me and my friends in the photo but of course, capturing and documenting the fun that we had while on that tour is also special so I think that one thought is a bit absurd.

Think its because I can use more photos and make more stories with it if I did take picture of the places without us in it but seeing those lovely smiles on our faces takes me back to the realization of the memories that I had there with my friends is more important than the photos that I can use for my stories.

I've been thinking a lot of things lately.

Things that I wanted to do and things that I should do for myself, things that I should also do for my business. Things that I've been forgetting to do and a lot more.

I was watching Encounter yesterday when one of the scenes hit me. This is what exactly one of the actors says "I thought I worked harder than anybody else, but no one was happy. Not you, not your mother, and not even me. I know you always think of the people around you first. But at the end of the day, you need to look after yourself first. Can you really tell me you can go on living like this your whole life?"

This scene really happens in the real life. We worked harder to the point that we spend more time at work than the time that we are spending with our loved ones. We spend more time working than we spend more time taking care of ourselves. We look after the people around us and prioritize their needs before our needs. Forgetting that we should also think of ourselves. Forgetting that we should also make ourselves happy.

We keep on sacrificing for the things that our loved ones need. We keep on sacrificing our health just to finish the loads of work that were given to us because that is our responsibility. But is it really worth it to sacrifice our own happiness and our own health? Is it really okay to forget our well-being just to deliver what is expected from us?

Why can't we just live looking after ourselves? Why can't we prioritize our health over our work? Yes, we need to earn for our daily expenses, for our family but this shouldn't be the reason why we forget to look after ourselves. This shouldn't be the reason why we let our health suffer just to deliver what is expected of us. We don't have to sacrifice our own health for the growth of the company that we are working for. We don't have to sacrifice our own happiness to make the people around us happy or will end up empty too.

Let us not wait for the time that we will regret that we didn't take care of ourselves, let's not wait for the time that we will say if only I listen to my body. It is not selfish to think about yourself there are times that I, Myself or Me, is more important than anybody else.

This is also a reminder for me. #notetoself

It is very sad to realize that throughout our lives we have spent more time at our job than with our family and our health.

I have always said that to help someone you must first be well enough to be able to help them. How are you going to provide a service if you are not healthy, the big problem is that everything around us is based on money, you need money for many things.

Sometimes we keep ourselves busy by taking care of others and forget our own self. The more we try to please others, the less we are noticed.

Self love and prioritizing ourselves first isn't selfish. Kasi we can't give love and make someone happy if we ourselves aren't even happy.

Relate na relate ako dito pero wala talaga akong ibang choices. Pero nagttry akong alaagaan ang sarili ko kahit man lang sa pag iwas sa puyat. Dahil wala anamn talagang ibang gagawa ng lahat kundi kaming mag asawa. Sapat na tulog, tinatry ko yan ngayon. Minsan lang ako magkasakit pero isa yan sa kinatakutan ko. Mas maganda kong habang maaga pa mag iingat na.

When I am burnout, I pause for a minute. I look for something that makes me happy. I alot a one day rest here in read.cash, for example. Yeah, there should be a work-life balance or else we will lose ourselves.

This is really what I am passing through now. I always think everyone in the family is my responsibility since I am the eldest child. I could do anything for the rest even out my life on hold for them. Sometimes I wonder whether if the table was turned, would they do the same for me ? Although, I only seek the grace of God as he continue to give me strength. I am totally indifferent to their praise or disappointment

that question would they do the same for me is the hardest to answer... and hopefully when the times comes that the answer to that question comes... i hope we like it and I hope we deserve it :)

Your post reminded me of one of my friends, who was thinking of working a full month without any day off to see how much he could earn. I thought he is a bit crazy about it. It just not worth it. It is illegal anyway and health is more important, than how much we can make.

some people are blinded by how much they can earn if they work for more hours, some are blinded by their needs but I think no matter what it is that we need, our health is more important than anything else

I agree sis. We shouldn't wait that we felt regrets. I relate this, sometimes we didn't mind ourselves because of the others. We work hard for the others. We lend a time for the others. We did our best and efforts to the others but we didn't know we forget ourselves.

We must prioritize ourselves first because without it, everything will be vanish too. Everything will be affected. Our self is our main strength to all the parts in our life. We are the one who run it. Don't abuse it. Care yourself and it should be balance.
