A promise to yourself.

 It's the end of 2024.

We all are making our 2025 goals, it’s even okay if you are not, I know I am not doing it for the time being.

But I am just here to remind you once again that one thing you need to take with yourself in 2025 is self care, self awareness and your well being, or start doing it in 2025 if you have not prioritised it in 2024.

As a certified coach, who specialises in emotional well being and personal development, I cannot help but emphasize the importance of it specially in the women.

As I see women all around me, not giving themselves the care they need, not prioritising their own self, not keeping a check on their own well being and then wondering how and when it all went wrong.

As South Asian women, we have always been told and taught to compromise, and it is true. I think it’s second nature to us women to do that. But not when it’s absolutely necessary to fill our own cups first.

At any given opportunity we are always ready to jump in and just neglect our own self, our own values and what’s important to us.

But what if we don’t ?

So what if we say, not this time. What if we say, I cannot.

Seems daunting I know.

But let’s promise this to ourselves that with this new year, we will think about prioritising ourselves more if not always, we will fill our own cups first before pouring for others and we will not fall into a guilt trip for keeping yourself on the top of your priority list every now and then.
