Never Forgetting Self In This Journey!

Never Forgetting Self In This Journey!

Looking and feeling great is a part of life. Sometimes we put ourselves on the back burner, and take care of everyone else but ourselves. That's me in living color. I focus on everyone else in the family but myself. Recently, I have discovered me! I took a look into the mirror and realized that I have be neglecting me. I never thought of myself for a long time. Somewhere down life journey, I lost myself. After all these years, I rediscovered me! Before, I use to make sure that everyone in my circle was alright and had everything that they needed. I have always been the caring type of person who considered everyone every ones needs before myself. And their is nothing wrong with helping others and making sure that family is well taken care of. But, there is one thing that we forget to do while completing that task. Include ourselves in the circle. We lose ourselves sometimes in the process of it. I am a living witness for losing myself. I learned that you can be all that you can be, and still remember that you matter.


By looking into the mirror one day and asking myself, what happened! A light went off in my head! I finally realized that all these years, I forgot about me. Wow, can you believe that this could actually happen? Becoming drowned in fixing every ones issues, taking care of family, and friends until you are totally lost in the wilderness concerning self.

Now, I am back on track with my life. After raising my three children without my husband because he passed on when the children were very young. Somehow I became the mom for everyone who needed me. That meant anyone who needed me, I was there. I remember even as a child, I was always the helper. I wanted to help everyone in the world if I could. I inherited that from my mom. She was indeed a wonderful mom and loved to help a stranger if she could.

I don't regret anything in life that I have done because I believe everything has its reasons and place in our journey. However over the years, I have discovered that we have to consider taking good care of ourselves as well. This is essential in allowing us to grow productively and healthy. As we get older, I prefer the word wiser, we need to make sure to take care of #1. I have learned and discovered that I have been neglecting myself for years now. So, its time for me to regroup, shape up and rediscover this unique person. Be sure to never lose yourself and if you realize that you have, regroup and get yourself back on track.
