When Was the Last Time You Chose Yourself?

Published on 25 November 2024 at 11:30

In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to forget about yourself. There’s always someone to help, a deadline to meet, or a responsibility pulling you in a thousand directions. But let me ask you this: when was the last time you paused and asked yourself, How am I really doing?

At SafeSpace Kenya, we often meet people who feel like they’re running on empty. They’re juggling work, relationships, and personal goals, yet somehow, they feel disconnected from themselves. Sound familiar?

The Art of Checking In
Life moves fast, and it’s easy to bury how you feel under the weight of daily demands. But ignoring your inner voice doesn’t make it go away—it just gets louder, often in the form of stress, burnout, or even illness.

Taking a moment to check in with yourself is not selfish; it’s necessary. Here are a few simple ways to start:

  • Ask Yourself Questions: What’s been weighing on me lately? What’s been bringing me joy?
  • Listen to Your Body: Are you constantly tired? Do you feel tension in your shoulders or stomach?
  • Make Time for Joy: When was the last time you laughed, danced, or did something just for fun?

The Power of Choosing You
Choosing yourself doesn’t mean abandoning your responsibilities. It means prioritizing your mental and emotional health so you can show up as your best self. When you’re well, you’re better equipped to handle life’s challenges and support the people you care about.

At SafeSpace Kenya, we believe that choosing yourself is the first step to creating a life of balance and fulfillment. Whether it’s through therapy, financial coaching, or a simple conversation, we’re here to remind you that you matter.

A Small Challenge for Today
Take 10 minutes—just 10—and dedicate them to yourself. Meditate, journal, sit in silence, or call someone who makes you smile. Start small, but start now.

Because when you choose yourself, you’re not just surviving—you’re thriving.

Choose wellness. Choose peace. Choose you.
