Are you a priority to yourself?

In this day and age it can be very easy to get caught up in the world and it's events. Alongside of that, is the ease in which we can give our time, love and attention to people and things without a second thought as to how it might be affecting us. So, my question is this: are you a priority to yourself, and if not, are you willing to start putting yourself first? I know this can be scary, but if you stop to really think about it there is no one that can be a true champion for you if you aren't standing up for yourself in the first place.

I find that baby steps are a great way to address issues such as these - especially if you have been putting others before you for most of your life. I'd suggest making a commitment to do a little more each day to make yourself a priority. For example: take time to meditate in the morning before you start your day, or go for a walk at lunch instead of filling the time with the needs of others. Or perhaps you can take yourself out on a date and do whatever makes you happiest during that time. You'd be surprised how powerful these little acts of self love can affect your mood and your outlook, and ultimately your relationship with others. Give it a try today - you have nothing to loose and everything to gain if you do!
