Mini-Episode: Top 10 Reasons To Prioritize Yourself First, From Someone Who Had To Learn The Hard Way

Mini-Episode: Top 10 Reasons To Prioritize Yourself First, From Someone Who Had To Learn The Hard Way

Special Mini-Episode.

As a mother, caregiver, and someone who just likes helping others, I'm used to putting other people's needs before my own. I began to feel burnout and my health suffered as a result. When I was stressed, I would either eat more or sleep in more. I felt my energy being drained because I spent all of my time and energy on other people. I didn't realize that by giving others 100% of my attention, I was doing them a disservice by not taking care of myself.

One day this past summer, as I was lying in bed, I had a life-changing thought: "There has to be more to life than feeling drained and defeated all the time." I was so exhausted, both physically and emotionally. I can't say for sure what led to that thought, but it could be years of unhealed trauma from Ken's deployment, being his caregiver at an early age, the loss of our friends in war, the death of my mother to cancer, my father's untimely and unexpected death, and the realization of other peoples' less-than-good intentions with my heart and time that came to light.

The thought of there being more to life than just pain and suffering has always been what motivated me to get up and start making changes in my life and this time was no different.

In October, I decided to take action and began making changes in my life that I felt would help me feel better. I changed my diet, started exercising more, and drinking more water. I even had weight-loss surgery in November! Additionally, I started doing guided meditations and playing my Oculus again - something that I really enjoy. These changes have helped me immensely and I finally feel like I'm living again instead of just existing to help everyone else.

I've finally come to truly understand that taking care of myself should always be a priority. In the past, I would pour everything I had into others without taking the time to assess my own life and needs. I realized that I spent too much time trying to fix others and not enough time focusing on fixing myself. All my life, I was told that it was selfish to focus on myself and that people should be giving, but I now realize that this way of thinking is wrong.

Top 10 Reasons To Put Yourself First

  • You can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking time for yourself allows you to be more available for others.
  • Investing in yourself develops self-confidence and builds self-esteem.
  • Putting yourself first allows you to set boundaries and practice self-care.
  • When you prioritize your own needs, you’re better able to focus on your goals.
  • By looking after yourself, you’ll be in a better position to support others.
  • You’ll have more energy to do the things you enjoy when you put yourself first.
  • Taking time for yourself gives you the opportunity to reflect and learn from your experiences.
  • Taking care of your own needs will help you to make healthier decisions for yourself.
  • Prioritizing yourself helps you to appreciate and value yourself more.

As the year comes to a close, it's the perfect time for some self-reflection. If you're feeling like your life is in shambles and you're constantly having to spread yourself thin for everyone else, it's time to make a change. It's okay to take a step back and assess what areas of your life are lacking so that you can start working on finding your happiness again. Trust me, I've been there before and I know how hard it can be. But it's so important to work on bettering yourself - even if it means making some tough changes in your life.

Brian Paul: National Guardsmen, Firefighter, EMT With Post Traumatic Stress Battled Alcoholism and Now Helps Others Fight Addiction & Find Purpose

Brian Paul: National Guardsmen, Firefighter, EMT With Post Traumatic Stress Battled Alcoholism and Now Helps Others Fight Addiction & Find Purpose

Brian Paul served in the Oklahoma National Guard 45th Infantry; when the Murrah Building was bombed in an act of domestic terrorism in 1995, he was deployed to the site and worked among other responders in the devastation, receiving the State Activation Medal and Humanitarian Medal. Desiring to continue serving the public, Brian became a career fire fighter and EMT. He had a great life with a beautiful wife, son, and home. The stress of shift work, poor sleep, and encountering death and trauma regularly at his busy station accumulated. This man once seen as a hero began to drink heavily. Brian's clarity of thought diminished, and he had difficulty thinking clearly on his calls--a crucial asset for emergency workers. Failing health due to alcoholism brought Brian close to death: his liver was damaged and his bone marrow was even shutting down. At the lowest point of his life--homeless and barely alive--Brian finally accepted lifesaving help through a 90-day rehabilitation facility, where he chose life. He was successful in this recovery effort because of his faith in a Higher Power, love for his son and mother, and his adherence to a proper treatment program. He founded Veterans 4 Life USA to help reach out to struggling men and women who are serving or have served in military or first responder professions that expose them to intense trauma and long-term stress. Recently Brian fulfilled his dream of playing semi-pro football, demonstrating the full recovery from his previous state: he is in shape, full of energy, and impassioned to help as many brothers and sisters fighting their own battles as possible.

AJ Roberts: 15 Year British Forces Veteran Uses His Experiences To Help War-Torn Sierra Leone, Helping Hundreds of Blood Diamond Amputees

AJ Roberts is a 15 year British forces veteran who’s toured Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a distinguished leader having lead his men through the darkest of times. He also lived in Australia for nearly 3yrs. He worked his butt off and bought his own house within 3 yrs. Unfortunately during this time his best friend killed himself, as did 3 other friends. All serving soldiers. He uses all his bad experiences as strengths in coaching others. In January 2020 AJ traveled to war-torn Sierra Leone to help hundreds of blood diamond amputees, all who were brutally butchered by terrorism and greed. While there are many victims of the war, those whose limbs were brutally cut off by war rebels are of particular interest to me and sadly many of them were just infants and toddlers at the time. There are thousands of children born to war amputees; some of them who are now orphans are unable to go to school or get quality education because their parents are no more or simply can’t afford to educate them.
