It’s an admirable quality to think about the wants and needs of others, but soon enough you’ll find yourself sliding down the slippery slope of burning yourself out and feeling depleted if you never consider your own needs.
It may seem like a foreign concept to you, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with putting yourself first, in fact, it’s an essential form of self-care that everyone should practice on a regular basis. Not sure if it’s time for you to engage in some “me” time? Well, check out these signs and find out if the time has come to put yourself back on your own to-do list.

You Always Put The Needs Of Others Before Yourself
No matter what the circumstances and despite you having things of your own you need to do, you always manage to put the needs of others before your own. It’s great to be selfless at times and think of others, but it should never be to your own detriment.
Try taking a few days a week for just yourself. Do something you’ve been wanting to do and constantly put off or better yet, do nothing at all and just relax. Making yourself a priority may be hard to do at first, but once you make it a regular habit you’ll definitely enjoy the benefits.
