Question of the Day:

I spent much of my life focusing on others.

Very little time was spent on me.

Okay, very little is an exaggeration to make myself feel better.

I cannot really think of a word for the miniscule amount of time spent focusing on myself from 1980 to 2019.

Since June 26, 2019, I have had no choice but to focus on myself.

It was uncomfortable, annoying, hard,

boring (well maybe delving into my own head wasn’t so boring),

and sometimes painful.

I have no difficulty thinking up those adjectives – or are they verbs? Sentence structure was never my forte.

Back on topic:

Focusing on myself was foreign. I am sure it’s foreign for many of us who have spent the majority of our lives caring for others over ourselves.

In an online article on the website Psychreg, Why Self-Care is Vital to Our Mental Health, Nicole Carman explains that self-care has many benefits:

The article gives tips for self-care that aren’t time-consuming (linked in title, above).

If self-care, e.g., focusing on oneself has so many benefits, why do I do it so reluctantly?

I will work on changing my habits today!

Question of the Day:

What have you done lately to focus on yourself?
