What about you this Christmas?

Christmas is the spirit of giving without the thought of getting - Thomas S. Monson

It is the season of giving and we keep on thinking about what to give to all our loved ones and I'm sure most of us have something all ready to give out this Christmas and maybe some have already sent their gifts to their loved ones but have you ever thought about what you will give to yourself?

What yourself need this Christmas? What yourself wants this Christmas?

We are so busy thinking about the people that we loved, that we cared about but what about you this Christmas?

I'm sure not all of us here thought about ourselves this Christmas. Most of the parents out there are busy preparing something for their kids, buying new clothes for them, and making themselves the least priority. Even I made myself the least in my priority even if I don't have my own family yet.

Those who have partners thought of what to give their loved one, and I'm sure he/she is all excited to give them their present not even thinking how much would it cost as long as they can make their partner happy but what about you?

Preparing something for yourself and making yourself happy this Christmas is important too and it doesn't have to be a material thing.

Think of something that you have or need to improve at yourself and work for it. That is one of the best things that you can give yourself.

Love yourself more. Respect yourself more. Know your importance and know your value.

That's the best gift that you can give yourself.

Don't neglect yourself just for the sake of loving the people around you, just for the sake of making them happy. Know that your own happiness is much important because you can never make anyone happy if you yourself are not happy. If you yourself don't love yourself enough. If you yourself are empty.

I've been always like that before, giving too much of myself to my loved ones. Making them happier even if I'm almost empty, no, even if I'm empty, forgetting that having something left for myself is important too. I thought that making them happy, giving them all that I have is the right thing to do. Not knowing that I'm just hurting myself doing that.

Sacrificing your own happiness for the sake of your loved one is ok but there is a limit and never ever go beyond that limit or you'll end up miserable.

Another thing that we keep on forgetting is this.

Stop looking for someone who doesn't look for you. Stop giving someone so much of your time when they don't appreciate your presence in their life.

We often neglect to see this, we often just give and give to those people we like without even realizing that they really don't care about us. We thought by giving too much we will be able to get their attention, they'll get fond of us too, but did you ever realize that you have to do it to yourself first? Yes, give yourself the time that you are giving away to someone who doesn't appreciate it and you will realize that you don't have to chase anyone just to be loved.

And I'll say it again...

Love yourself more. Respect yourself more. Know your importance and know your value. Know that you are enough.

Isn't it the best gift you can give yourself? Isn't it the right thing to give yourself?

Yep, noting it for myself too :)
