Self-Care or Selfish? Keeping yourself at number 1 is not a crime, this is the real secret of mental peace.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Since childhood, we are taught to “think about others,” “live by sharing,” and “sacrifice is greatness.” These values ​​are good, but have you ever thought how much we ignore ourselves in order to make others happy? We often strangle our happiness so that no one else gets angry. But in today’s times, when stress and depression have increased so much, experts say that we need to be a little selfish. Being selfish here does not mean doing bad to anyone, but thinking about your own good (Self-Care). If you want to remain mentally and physically fit, then leave the cares of the world and adopt these habits today itself. Believe me, it is called “self-love”, not “selfish”.1. Learn to Say NO: Are you also one of those people who say “yes” to something even when you don’t feel like it? Be it extra work in the office or going somewhere with friends, if your body and mind are not testifying, then start saying ‘NO’ clearly and politely. Being there for everyone all the time will drain you from within. Respect your boundaries.2. Steal your ‘Me-Time’: Out of 24 hours a day, do you even give even 20 minutes to yourself? If not, correct this mistake. This 20 minutes should be “selfish time”. There should be no phone, no children, no tension at home. Read a book. Listen to a song. Or just sit quietly. This time is very important to recharge your mind. 3. Don’t compromise on your sleep. “Hey, he called so I had to talk,” or “I had to finish work,” these excuses are ruining your health. Be a little selfish about your 8 hours of sleep. If you are tired, leave all the work in the world and go to sleep. Remember, only if you remain healthy you will be able to help the world.4. Cut ‘toxic’ people from your life. There are some people around us who always talk negatively, humiliate us or just cry. Staying away from such people is not about being mean, but about saving your mental health. It is wise to close your doors to those who disturb your peace of mind.5. Learn to Ask for Help Too often, in our quest to become “Superman” or “Superwoman,” we take on all the burden ourselves. Don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it. It is not wise to burn yourself and give light to others.
