The term selfish sounds bad when society uses it, and sometimes it's horrible to be selfish. However, there are certain times in your life when you need to be selfish with your emotions and your health. In general, society likes to worry a lot about what others will perceive of us if we take action on something, or if we verbalize our emotions.
We do a lot of unnecessary things that are small that on the days we don't want to do. Having a routine is good, and having discipline is good, however, if you don't want to hang out with your friends you don't have to. If you don't want to go out to a party or go to lunch or an extra event just to be there we don't have to. We need to listen to our body and our intuition more than we think sometimes, our bodies tell us yes and no to certain things and we need to listen more.
Your body tells your mind when you grow out of relationships, out of hobbies, and sometimes even out of the family. Sometimes staying in a friendship or a relationship that is no longer fulfilling us can hold us back and we find ourselves settling, not growing, and staying still. Not everyone in your life is meant to be there forever.
We are all responsible for our own happiness and our own success. Sometimes we are caring so heavily for someone else and we don't realize that we need attention. Our bodies and our minds and our souls need attention and fuel. A lot of the time those we are pouring all of our energy into isn't giving us the same even if its our closest friends. We need to take charge and realize that we do not have to do things that we don't want to do, we can change our minds at any point in our life and we can take action to listen to our bodies and minds.
Being selfish with your time will also show you what your priorities are. You will be able to blossom into better relationships and goals because of how focused you are and supported by your circle.
