8 years ago

8 years ago I had no idea that taking care of everyone else wouldn’t automatically take care of me. I thought being dependable meant I was doing life the right way. I believed that if I stayed kind, flexible, and strong, everything would eventually work itself out. I didn’t realize how often I pushed through exhaustion instead of listening to it. How saying “yes” became automatic before I even checked in with myself. How rest felt like something I had to deserve. That’s when I realized that self-care isn’t a reward—it’s a responsibility. A responsibility to my peace. To my energy. To the life I’m still building. That’s when I realized that slowing down wasn’t falling behind— it was me finally paying attention. I started making small but meaningful changes. Pausing before overcommitting. Letting go of guilt when I chose rest. Speaking to myself with more patience and less pressure. And the more I listened to myself, the clearer things became. Not louder. Not perfect. Just lighter. Now I understand that taking care of myself doesn’t take away from anyone else. It actually allows me to show up more present, more grounded, and more whole. I’m still learning. But I’m learning with intention. And that has made all the difference. 🔔 Subscribe for more videos on self-talk, affirmations, and building a healthier relationship with yourself: https://www.youtube.com/@selftalkdiar... 🚨Disclaimer: The content shared on Self Talk Diaries is for informational and personal growth purposes only.

These thoughts are a natural part of how we process life, make decisions, and reflect on our emotions. However, it’s important to note the difference between everyday self-talk and hearing voices that feel separate from your own inner dialogue. 🧠 Self-talk sounds like your own thoughts — even when they’re critical, encouraging, doubtful, or emotional. ❗Hearing voices that feel like they’re coming from outside your head, or from a separate identity or source, especially if they are commanding, distressing, or persistent, may be a sign of a mental health condition that requires professional support. If you ever experience voices that feel intrusive, overwhelming, or disconnected from your sense of self, please don’t ignore them. These may be symptoms of conditions like psychosis, schizophrenia, or trauma-related disorders, and they deserve compassionate, qualified care. 🆘 If you’re experiencing this, please seek help immediately: Talk to a mental health professional. Call or text a mental health crisis line in your area. In the U.S., dial or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — available 24/7. You are not alone, and there is absolutely no shame in asking for help. Healing starts with understanding — and reaching out.
