Why you must Make Yourself a Priority

There is a lot of talk about self-care on this blog, but the truth is that self-care begins with prioritizing yourself. There are a lot of benefits to making yourself a priority. On the other hand, if you ignore your needs and put the needs of others first, many problems can arise.The consequence of putting others before yourself is people pleasing.

So Why You Need To Make Yourself A Priority?✨

If you truly want to love yourself and respect yourself, you must put yourself first. We can also influence how others treat us by how we treat ourselves. It is also important to carry yourself in a certain manner for people to treat you the same. Here are 4 ways that have helped me make myself a priority in my own life…

Create a weekly schedule

Make sure you take time for yourself! You can do anything you like, whether it is studying new things, hobbies, relaxation, crafts. Whatever your interests are, make clear time for them unapologetically. This is one of the ways you’ll begin to love yourself better since you’ll get to know yourself better.

If You Need Help, Ask!

In all this, remember to ask for help whenever necessary. Being your own priority doesn’t mean alienating yourself. Build a network of trusted and dependable friends, people you can be yourself around. Our guards are much more heightened when we’re surrounded by the wrong people and nobody needs that

Create Strong Boundaries!

Establishing boundaries will help you avoid situations you do not want to be in. The moment we do not set boundaries, we are inviting everything into our lives, good and bad alike.By knowing what matters to you, you will be able to create some boundaries. When you know yourself, putting boundaries against things that aren’t aligned will be much easier.

Learn How To Say No!

This is a part of going with the flow. Saying no and being firm about it are two important skills. Don’t give in to the temptation to do something you don’t want. Your tendency to change your mind easily is something people will recognize and know they only have to ask several times before you agree. Some ideas illustrate how to say no politely if you think giving a flat no is rude.

“We must challenge the very idea of a radical separation between something that is “true in theory” but “not valid in practice.” If a theory is correct, then it does work in practice; if it does not work in practice, then it is a bad theory. The common separation between theory and practice is an artificial and fallacious one. But this is true in ethics as well as anything else. If an ethical ideal is inherently “impractical,” that is, if it cannot work in practice, then it is a poor ideal and should be discarded forthwith. To put it more precisely, if an ethical goal violates the nature of man and/or the universe and, therefore, cannot work in practice, then it is a bad ideal and should be dismissed as a goal. If the goal itself violates the nature of man, then it is also a poor idea to work in the direction of that goal.”

— Murray Rothbard

Horse feathers. We navigate by the North Star. Might we ever reach the North Star? No. Is the North Star still useful to us? Yes.

To love our enemies and bless those who curse us, to thank God for every blessing and every trial, to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect—these values stand at the zenith of the moral compass by which we navigate. Are these values practical? No. Do these values violate the fallen nature of man? Absolutely. Is it a poor idea to work in the direction of these values? Ask the Holy.

I would ask everyone in the notes making “Just get married” jokes to pay attention to the fact that the person who tweeted this has a wheelchair emoji in their name and remember the fact that people on social security disability payments lose all their benefits the instant they get married.

A rule like this will fully back disabled people on SSI into an ultimatum of stay single and get evicted or marry and become unable to pay the rent anyway.

This is such a great point. We all need to be mindful of how a lot of these laws are used for ableism. There are so many things we do that we don’t know we’re doing that was put in place to actively harm the disabled community. Like the way a lot of jobs require you to be able to lift 50 pounds even though it has nothing to do with the job.

[Image description: Tweet by user @/birkmurkrow that reads: “I’M NOT SORRY BUT HOW THE FUCK ARE Y'ALL GONNA BAN PEOPLE LIVING TOGETHER. PEOPLE. LIVING. TOGETHER. im gonna throw up”

Attached to the tweet there’s a picture of a newspaper page. Its title reads: “Shawnee unanimously passes ordinance banning co-living by Aarón Torres”

The article reads: “On Monday, a Johnson County city unanimously voted to ban a living arrangement aimed at helping tennants decrease the amount of rent they pay.

The Shawnee City Counsil voted 8-0 to ban co-living, becoming among the first Kansas City area municipalities to prevent the practice, which has gained popularity in recent years as rent and home prices have soared.

The new ordinance defines a co-living group as as a group of at least four unrelated adults living together in a dwelling unit. The ordinance stated that if one adult is unrelated to another adult, then the entire group will be classified as unrelated. The practice, which includes things like sharing a kitchen, living room and community areas, started to gain popularity as a rental and housing prices continued to increase across the United States.

“Co-living has become increasingly popular because of its cost effectiveness and greater flexibility in cities where rents are high for young professionals,” The Washington Post wrote in 2019.

The City Council’s vote came despite a presentation from a Johnson County organization where a housing study showed that the average home price in the county rose 37% from 2017-2021, climbing from $324,393 to $443,700. The study showed that wages did not rise at that same rate.

“Shawnee is one of the three largest communities in Johnson County, so what happens in Shawnee is really consequential for what happens to the rest of the county,” said Kristy Baughman, director of education and planning for United Community Services of Johnson County.

Baughman said that the organization received a grant in 2017 from the Kansas Healthcare Foundation, which was part of a healthy communities initiative. The task was to identify a health equity issue, she said.

“Over and over again, what rose to the surface was the cost of housing was the thing that was impacting people’s ability to be healthy,” Baughman said.“

Connecticut Legislature Approves $40 Million New Haven-Style Pizza Awareness Campaign – The Boston Accent

“For too long, people have assumed our pizza was just like New York pizza, but the differences are clear as day– ‘Apizza’ is moderately thinner with a little more char and a slightly chewier texture,” said Lamont. “America needs to know this and that’s why this investment is so important.”

I love how Lan’s reaction to coming across Perrin surrounded by dead Whitecloaks and an empty cage where an Aiel had been is to:

1. Consider killing Faile

2. Be more concerned with whether Perrin can be tied to it than the fact of what he actually did

3. Complain about how much it’s going to cost to get them out of this one

4. Mostly seem disgusted that Perrin couldn’t hold off until they’d had a good night’s sleep
