Advocate for your needs and prioritize selfcare from "summary" of Understanding Myself by Mary C. Lamia
When we are in touch with our needs, we are better equipped to take care of ourselves. This means recognizing what we require to thrive physically, emotionally, and mentally. It involves acknowledging our boundaries and limits, and not being afraid to communicate them to others. By advocating for our needs, we are asserting our right to be treated with respect and consideration. This can involve setting boundaries with others, saying no when necessary, and asking for help when needed. Self-care is a crucial component of advocating for our needs. It involves taking intentional actions to prioritize our well-being and ensure that we are functioning at our best. This can include activities such as exercise, adequate rest, healthy eating, social connection, and engaging in activities that bring us joy and fulfillment. Self-care also involves setting aside time for relaxation and stress management, as well as seeking out professional help when needed. Prioritizing self-care means making ourselves a priority in our own lives. It means recognizing that we cannot pour from an empty cup and that taking care of ourselves is essential for our overall well-being. This does not mean being selfish or neglecting our responsibilities to others. Rather, it means recognizing that we are deserving of care and attention, just like anyone else. By prioritizing self-care, we are better able to show up as our best selves in our relationships, work, and other areas of our lives. Advocating for our needs and prioritizing self-care go hand in hand. When we are attuned to our needs and take proactive steps to meet them, we are better able to care for ourselves and navigate the challenges that come our way. This involves being mindful of our own well-being and taking the necessary steps to ensure that we are functioning at our best. By making ourselves a priority and advocating for our needs, we are setting the foundation for a fulfilling and balanced life.
