Remember to take care of yourself

Making yourself secure from all sides, I simply disconnect calls that I feel not worth-attending. I receive countless messages since the day I started expressing my thoughts on social media. I don't respond to all. I am ready to help but not to entertain anyone. I don't have a second thought while blocking people on any platform. I learn to say 'No' if I am unable to do something. I believe taking unnecessary burden will take/direct me nowhere.

I want to give my phone number to you, I reject to reply to your hi, hello and good morning - this is totally up to me. Am I being rude? No. I am just setting up my boundaries and taking care of myself. I don't want anyone to cross the line I have drawn around me. Because it hampers my mental peace. I can’t allow people to play pranks with me. I simply distance myself from them who seem to hurt. If I don’t hurt you, I won’t let you hurt me.

Keeping oneself first in the priority list is a part of self-love. The one who works on oneself is the one who can work on others too. Hope, you got my message. Take care yourself simply means when you become non-being. When you become non-being life takes care yourself, you don't need to worry. Currently you claim, you take care yourself, but do you really think you are happy? Not happy. Let life take care yourself, let life take you in it's embrace.

I personally get Take Care messages when someone says goodnight. But do we even think twice after reading them! Majority of us don't. So what is taking care of yourself (ourselves) actually is? Frankly no one can define this! Each of us lot of differences. Like I don't know the things I do for myself gonna help you anyway round! Still the general advice from a 25 yr old guy might make some sense! You may or may not agree on the listed points. Prioritize your mental health. Toughness from inside is 1000 times better then outside! Don't feed poison to your body. Stress/Financial problems/gf-bf will come and go! Feeding fast food/ciggerates/alcohal ( at insane level) will only lead you for permanent regret!

Take Risk! Be it starting something for the first time to asking someone! Years later, you will thank yourself that at least I tried! Have a real friend and be a good friend too. Lastly, treat life little less seriously! You don't even know whether you will wake next morning or not! Life is that uncertain for all. Taking care of ourself is least discussed topic! Though we don't need someone to discuss this still we all need answers from someone on how to take care!

Remove toxic and abusive people from your life. God wants you to be kind and love others, but He doesn't want you to be abused or bullied. If you have abusive family members, partners, or friends, I would seriously consider removing them from your life for your own benefit. Not everyone deserves to be part of your life. If they are not kind, if they are not loving, if they are not uplifting and trustworthy-then why keep these people in your life? Part of the process of growing up, is learning how to let go of people who are not good for you. If you have someone that is an abusive presence in your life, this is your sign: let go.

God wants you to forgive. But God does not want you to be abused even more. Forgive your abuser, but do not let them back in your life. World's best therapists are your real friends! Talking to them is also a part of caring of ourselves! Not attending the calls from unknown numbers. Being attentive when speaking with anyone to avoid any misunderstandingWhen anyone starts gossiping with me staying calm and thinking deeply without reacting much and not encouraging the conversation to go further because next they might do the same about you with any other

Not hurting anyone and if someone hurts me which effects my mental peace happy to separate and stay apart. Setting goals and achieving them.Learning and Upskilling. Being cautious of my body and health. Eating Right filled with fruits and Veggies. Physical activity at least 4 times a week. Staying hydrated and getting exposed to Sun at least 15min a day. Being social, building network and staying connected with family, friends etc. Cheers!
