A couple weeks ago I found a journaling app, Jour. It’s essentially a daily journal, guiding you towards self-care. When I first started I didn’t know what to say. My mind would just go blank.
As the days went by, the process got easier mainly because journaling really helps you understand yourself. Now I feel comfortable with the process and even if I don’t have anything to say I still am able to say something.
This morning I woke up with this feeling I couldn’t understand. I didn’t know why I felt this way. After journaling however, I found that reason.
In life it is important to be a bit selfish as in taking care of yourself and putting yourself first. Everyone on this earth has a purpose. In order to discover that purpose, sometimes we have to put our needs and wants before others. We also need to learn to love ourselves because you are the only person that’s going to be there for you. We need to learn how to be happy with ourselves and find that happiness from within, not from materials or people.
These are some things I have to do for myself. I recognized these issues about a year or more ago and I started that journey of loving myself. It was the best time of my life. I did what I wanted when I wanted and no one could’ve encouraged me otherwise.
Right now, I’m not doing that for myself. I’m putting a lot of things above me and now I’m “suffering”. Without journaling I wouldn’t have been able to recognize what I was doing “wrong”. I’m happy I realized it. Getting back to that stage of putting yourself first requires some sacrifices which may hurt but it’s all worth it in the end.
