Last year, I suffered severe burn-out from saying too many “yes” to others and “No” to myself. Taking up too many engagements to please others and giving bits of myself to too many people. Trying to solve too many problems and showing up for others. 
In the process, I lost too much of myself. Time. resources. Emotions. I gave myself to the service of others till I had nothing more to give, even to self. I didn’t have time to pursue my own aspirations because I was focused on helping others achieve theirs.
I am passionate about people.I don’t mind being source of hope/help to others. But when you begin to sabotage yourself, deny yourself growth and peace of mind because of others, it becomes toxic. In the end, you become insufficient even to your beneficiaries.
As the popular saying goes, you can’t give what you don’t have. You can’t pour from an empty cup. On the journey of selfless giving, never forget to take care of yourself first! If you don’t, people around you suffer too.
This year, I am saying “yes” to putting myself first. Yes to investing in my personal growth. To making more income and turning it over till it overflows. #MondayMotivation
This year, I am saying “yes” to spending more quality time and creating memories with my loved ones. A big Yes to pampering myself and exploring the world. Yes to being a better version of myself so I can serve the people better. #mondaythoughts
