There’s nothing selfish about self-care

by Abdou Sani Boukari Consultant

A good life is about making a good decision every day to do something that moves you – caring for yourself  by doing things you care about. Don’t wait around for someone else to give you permission to do what he/she wants. You don’t have to do what everyone else is doing.  And you don’t have to get permission to do it differently either.  

Invest in the activities you deeply care about.  It’s a matter of realizing that there’s nothing selfish about self-care.  Because you can’t give what you don’t have.  You have to experience life on your terms before you can be life-giving to others.

Your time on this planet is precious.  As the saying goes : “What you do today is important, because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.”  

If you want to see changes in your life today, you’ll have to do things that you’ve never done before.  Different input = different output.  Move away from the things that drain you and move toward the thoughts and activities that empower and fulfill you.

I agree and since I no longer have a J.O.B. outside my home... I do my crafts. Some I enjoy more than others, some craft items have been in demand more than others. All in all, I still work - now it is working at what I enjoy most.

You are right, Barbara. You have to experience life on your terms before you can be life-giving to others. Enjoy your crafts and be helpful for those who want to learn with you.
