I often ask myself whether I'm taking any selfish move while prioritizing myself. There's a fine life, you know. And maintaining this line is really necessary to maintain a healthy life balance.
I'm saying this because if you pay a little notice around, you will see how this generation is going for selfishness in the name of self-priority. Self-priority never mean we can't help others, we can't give any information about anything, we can't make space for others. But unfortunately, most of us are doing this wrong.
So, let's see how to maintain the fine line between self-priority and selfishness!
When you make time for yourself, choose something for yourself, make a decision to benefit it; notice whether it is affecting badly to others. Finding it is nothing hard. But the thing is we don't put much intention into it. Also, our decisions, self-care, and choices should be for our own good. We should not use these to block others' paths, to hide our inner feelings and all.
Let me give you a simple example!
You may have to cancel a friend's hangout to give yourself time because you spend a very busy weekend. You can do that but try to see from the other end. Try to make your friends understand you, keep alternatives if possible like a video call or another date to meet them.
This is just a simple example of how we can avoid being selfish. You can relate this to some of your life events too to practice it better.
Prioritize yourself like you really mean it. This should be a way to make us relaxed, find happiness, and meaning in life so that we can benefit others as well. If you prioritize yourself at the same time think about others, you will hopefully maintain a fine life.
