Selfcare is not selfish

Myira Khan • 18 April 2020

Give yourself the permission to feed yourself soulfood!


Taking time out for myself used to feel selfish.


That's because I thought it meant I was thinking only of myself, being greedy or self-centered in a way that dismissed other's needs.


Over the years of working with clients I've come to see that many people struggle to put #selfcare into practice because they were taught not to out their needs first, to prioritize others and to always be 'giving' to others. 🌻


Now I see #selfcare as being aware, recognizing, acknowledging and honouring your own needs!


And by meeting your needs first, you are giving to yourself all that you need for a healthy, happy and abundant soul.


Who you then are and how you show up in your life and in your relationships (with yourself and others) means that you and others get the best version of you! 🌻


What #selfcare do you practice? Or what do you need to start doing for yourself, which meets your own needs? 🌻
