No one can do this better than you. Quite honestly, no one will invest in you better than you can do it yourself. This applies to every single aspect one can think of; but what it all boils down to at the end of the day is that SelfLove is important and necessary.
You owe it to yourself to invest in yourself. Health wise, you need to get checked for both your physical and mental health. When you know how your body is going and what you need to do to ensure that it’s well taken care of, your body and mind being at their best will in turn make you feel better. Don’t forget also that food is medicine, so try your best to eat right.
Financially, if you don’t learn how to save, protect your projects and invest in them, even if it’s the bare minimum, or the least you can afford to, no one else will go into your affairs and straighten them out for you. With your affairs in order, you will be able to create more opportunities for yourself and those will lead to balance, stability and contentment in your life; I can guarantee with that you will feel good about yourself.
In your personal life, now I feel this is the most important angle/aspect/category, and for so many reasons. Furthermore, all the others intertwine with that one aspect. It also goes further into investing in your wellbeing, your psyche; fully loving yourself to the point where you do not need to rely on anyone for your happiness. Invest in yourself even when others around you are investing in you. Family is supposed to be loving on us (sometimes things happen), but that definitely does not mean that we neglect ourselves. Learn to say “no” at times, put yourself first.
It’s ok to be selfish and take “me time”, go to a spa, check into rehab (it’s not always for drugs and alcoholism), go to a wellness center, go to the Sickle Cell clinic/the ER in my case; but take care of your body, your temple, your machine; because when things go wrong, when you’re down, even if friends and family show emotions and empathize, the only one directly affected is the one and only YOU… Invest in yourself!!!
Smile, it could be worse!!!
