This topic is personal. Not only for me, but for some of you as well. If you like to mind your business and protect what’s yours, then this blog is for you!
Before we dive into saving ourselves, we first need to address the difference between “babying” and “saving”.
If any of the characteristics below define you, then, baby, you are babying yourself:
- Letting yourself off the hook – getting yourself into something then depending on someone else to help you get out of it
- Prevent yourself from elevating to a more mature place – becoming stagnant and not wanting to grow/flourish to become a better person
- Allowing yourself to remain where you are – settling and being content
Saving yourself looks a bit more like this:
- Being responsible for yourself – being independent
- Holding yourself accountable – taking accountability for your actions
- Applying the tools you have or actively seeking new tools – to successfully handle your own in any aspect
- Removing yourself from toxic situations – knowing your triggers and how to effectively deal with toxicity
It is time to start saving yourself! Get a little selfish! It is okay to put yourself first when it comes to your peace, your sanity, and your drive to be a better you! Stop putting your energy and your time into things/people who does not deserve it. If something is draining you, then it is not for you! If something is causing you frustration, let it go! If anything is causing you to be tired, let it go! If there is something causing you anything but peace and happiness, then LET IT GO! And while you are letting things go, apply the tools you have to become a better you. This is personal! Save Yourself!
