I Choose Me

As a parent, a caretaker, or simply an exceptionally caring individual, it’s not uncommon to find yourself fully immersed in the well-being of others, while unintentionally neglecting your own needs. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with nurturing others, what happens when your resources are depleted? At such moments, remember these three crucial words – I Choose Me.

By consciously prioritizing yourself, you are bestowing the love you deserve upon yourself and replenishing your reserves to function effectively. Embracing the notion of “I choose me” means declining requests from others and affirming your own needs.

“I Choose Me” signifies refusing to settle for anything less than you deserve – in relationships, career, and self-perception.

Here are some strategies to adopt the “I Choose Me” mindset:

1. Develop the habit of saying no, as it becomes more manageable with practice.
2. Prioritize yourself, recognizing that others typically put themselves first, and you should do the same.
3. Understand that choosing yourself is a reflection of your worth and the fact that you deserve it.
4. Release any guilt associated with embracing the “I Choose Me” mindset, as it is merely an expression of self-love.
