Great affirmation! Like partette I’m guilty of putting others needs before my own.

I’ve been working on this for a while. So far the following things have helped:
I’m sure there’s more that I’m forgetting. It’s a work in progress, an ongoing challenge, I am getting better though!

I spend too much time caring for others and put my own needs last. I do not think this sets a good example to my children as i see them putting too much importance on the feelings and needs of others at the expense of their own. This is not what i intended. I need to be a better role model. One that displays compassion but also values themselves.
