Neglecting Myself

Recently I've notice that I have really neglected myself since I started college and working full time either in voluntary work or jobs/internships. Since the beginning of starting to get healthy I've also neglected myself in some ways. I was worried about everyone or everything else more than my health or me. In fact, it got to the point where even though I really help others, I was being used to much for way to many things that I shouldn't let happen. I'm really starting to learn that I may like to put everyone or everything else in front of me but I also need to really think about myself. I have my own goals to reach, not only for the present but for the future too. I know that this is going to be one of the hardest things for me just because I always valued others than myself especially all those people who have or will have everything they wanted. But now I know it's not easy for everyone. Everyone has their own problems may it be health, family or themselves.

I now know that I NEED time for ME. I NEED to tell people ever now and than NO instead of always saying YES. I need to be there for family but in a way that I WON'T get hurt or used, as the same with friends. I need to be able to be STRONG not only for me but for my future self. I need to have FAITH in myself with my studies and more. I need to SUPPORT my husband and me in a way that only I can. I need to be POSITIVE about what to come and DEAL with my trials in a way that doesn't stress me to the fullest. I need to learn to be able to TALK to people and tell them what I really feel about something or someone. In a way, I have to make a LOT of change but I have come a long way. I need to ACCEPT myself. I am hoping with all these goals that I may be able happy with myself and not always belittle myself.
