Putting Yourself First: Needs Before Wants
Putting Yourself First: Needs Before Wants Putting yourself first doesn't mean putting everyone else last. But in recovery, learning the difference between self-centeredness and self-care can be surprisingly complicated. Today I'm exploring what it really means to prioritize our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and why taking care of ourselves is essential if we want to show up for others. Sobriety taught me to put my recovery first. Life after stroke has challenged me to respect my limitations, and setting boundaries without guilt is an ongoing practice. From learning that "no" is a complete sentence to understanding the difference between self-will and God's will, I'm discovering that putting myself first is really putting my needs before my wants. I am worth taking care of, even when my needs inconvenience someone else. And the better I care for myself, the more I have to give to the people I love.
