When You Are Challenged by Choosing Yourself
We hear it all the time: “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
Yet, when it comes to actually prioritising ourselves, it’s easier said than done.
Why is it so hard to choose you? Why does guilt creep in when you take time for yourself?
If you’ve ever struggled with putting yourself first, you’re not alone. Here are some common reasons we find it challenging to choose ourselves:
1. The “Good Person” Syndrome
We’re taught that being a good partner, parent, or friend means putting others first—always. But self-care isn’t selfish. It’s the foundation for being the best version of yourself for those you love.
2. Guilt & Obligation
There’s a voice in your head that whispers, “There’s so much to do. How can I take time for myself?” But the truth is, when you prioritise yourself, you have more energy, patience, and focus for everything else.
3. The Never-Ending To-Do List
Life is busy. Work, family, responsibilities—it’s easy to believe that there’s “no time” for yourself. But even 1% of your day (just 14 minutes) can make a huge difference in your mental and emotional wellbeing.
4. Fear of Discomfort
Sometimes, slowing down and tuning in means facing emotions we’ve been avoiding. But growth and healing come from acknowledging what we need—not ignoring it.
5. Not Knowing Where to Start
Self-care isn’t just bubble baths and meditation. It’s about understanding your mind, building resilience, and making small shifts that add up to big changes. If you’re unsure where to start, Workbench for the Mind is here to guide you.
