PRACTICING SELF-LOVE AMIDST SEVERAL RESPONSIBILITIES

Many of us are always in the race of making ends meet. Working hard, toiling day and night to ensure that bills are paid. Some don't even have a good sleep at night just to meet up with financial Responsibilities; how bad it may affect their health. All the hustles and bustles of life are a bunch of sacrifices people undergo, but most times, we forget ourselves, we fail to understand the need to show ourselves little love and pampering for good.

I understand that it can be quite difficult sometimes considering our world today where things keep rising without coming down. Some people have the burden of the whole family members on their heads, so telling such a person to self-care might sound odd to such a person but it's not far from the truth if I should be sincere here. I read a post from @vickoly and I am just impressed with how he had a self-reflection and decided to be showing himself more love this year. He has been the type that sees a lot of the financial needs of others, imagine being a shoemaker without having different shoes for himself...lolz. Glad he saw the need now and the result is just wow, you can visit his post to feed your eyes.

One of my self-treat at the beach last year ⛱️

Responsibilities will remain unending as far as we exist in this world. I know of a young guy who wears something that looks like house cloth to church every Sunday, but this guy is always working hard and making money. One of my physical chat with him made me realize how much financial loads he has for his siblings, so apparently, all the money he makes are being sent to them. He even skips meals most times and eating a decent meal is far from it...I really understand all of this but showing yourself little love once in a while will even motivate the body to keep working hard.

As for me, I also have lots of financial Responsibilities but I try as much as I can to pamper myself a little once in a while. If I work hard, I should feel better as well. When my other phone was having little issues, coincidentally, I had some money through my hustle. I had already mapped out some family expenses to support but on second thought, I decided to gift myself a good phone first and be happy to blog with ease, then attend to other home needs with the rest of the money..yea, it's part of self-love and I felt fulfilled 👌

There are some days I will just feel like having a special meal for myself, enjoying more sleep, and overlooking some chores and distractions from family. Just anything to make me feel refreshed from the inside is cool.

Sometime in October last year, I decided to step out, leaving my children and my husband at home and just have a me-time. Honestly, I had an amazing day. just only me, no one to bother my life even as a mother. I didn't do much out there but I felt so loved by myself.

My visit to Kilimanjaro Lagos State

I spent hours, relaxing, eating some yummy food without going to my kitchen...

These were the few things I got to show myself some love. Aside from the meal and whatever, what I enjoyed most is my me-time.

The year just started, and bills have started flying up and down. We are all working hard daily but in everything, we shouldn't forget to take some time off to self-treat no matter little and be happy and positive always.

Quality Sleep as well

Very important
Thanks for your contribution 👍

It's nice and I guess many people like it as well 👍

This is very nice and fantastic, it's not an easy task to spoil yourself. Especially when you have a lot of responsibilities on ground.

This is the major reason, why most people refused to treat themselves specially.

I was wondering how you will explain to your hubby, where you head to when you went out alone.

Great content here, I got value.

0E-8 BEE

Yea... people are carried away with responsibilities and forget to self care including myself most times but it's needed

As for my husband, I was just so straightforward..I needed it 😂

0E-8 BEE

Wow, you have done the best. I love your courage

My dear...that's just life.
Little care wouldn't hurt 😍

0E-8 BEE

You definitely gave the proper meaning of self love because you practiced it thanks for sharing.

0E-8 BEE

Thank you so much ❤️

0E-8 BEE

Everyone has difficulties in life and everyone is trying to do what they can. Thank you for writing about this. and foods are nice:)

0E-8 BEE

You got it... difficulties are many everywhere but we got to take care of ourselves 👍

0E-8 BEE

Sometimes in order to give ourselves the love we deserve, we just have to act like we cannot see all the responsibilities waiting for our attention. If you always out responsibilities first then one will never enjoy self love.
.thanks for sharing.

0E-8 BEE

Of course...I just close my eyes sometimes and have a good self treat..it wouldn't hurt
Thank you for reading 👍

0E-8 BEE

I know you to he an enjoyment woman 😂. As a married woman it's not easy taking care of yourself,your child and hubby but am sure you really need that self care just to look better for them. The stress of taking care of two babies - big and small 😂😂😂😂

0E-8 BEE

My dear, thank you so much oo 😂
You really understand my case but I thank God shaa..I jump and pass their stress...self love all the way

0E-8 BEE

😂😂😂😂 exactly

0E-8 BEE

imagine being a shoemaker without having different shoes for himself...lolz

Same here too 😅😅 I read his post and I was like “a shoe cobbler who hasn't made his own shoe?” so funny.

We need to create time for ourselves too even if we have loads of people we are taking care of. Remember the body will stop working if we don't treat ourselves to the best and if we stop working, how do we make money for those we are helping?

I have been hearing about that Kilimanjaro everywhere. I think I need to visit that side too.

0E-8 BEE

I knew you don't joke with food lols 🤣 i realized we foodie always have good skin lols i can spend my last card on food LoLs 😂

You have done well thanks for sharing with us

0E-8 BEE

It is always good for us to get sometime for ourselves, especially when there is so much responsibilities. Just take a little break from your life/day, have a special treat for yourself and enjoy that moment. This also helps to relax, while you carry on your normal day to day activities.
