The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | Are You Making Yourself a Priority?

Ep #52: Are You Making Yourself a Priority?

August 31, 2022

I’m always amazed at how many of us, myself included, habitually put ourselves on the back burner. We’re so good at prioritizing work, our spouse, kids, extended family, and friends, but seem to run out of time and energy when it comes to meeting our own needs. 

Like anything, the truth is putting ourselves last becomes a pattern. Often, the thought sounds like, “Well, if I have time, maybe I’ll feed myself, get some rest, or practice self-care,” but too often, by the time you’ve done everything for everyone else, you’re too exhausted to bother caring for yourself. However, we still find it hard to give ourselves permission to make ourselves a priority. 

If you feel overly reliant on pleasing other people, or guilty for taking time for yourself and doing things that bring you joy and pleasure, listen in. I’m showing you how making yourself a priority isn’t about becoming self-centered, the dangers of not putting yourself at the top of your list of priorities, and the benefits of starting to do so.
