“Is it selfish to prioritize yourself? I don’t want other people to view me as being selfish or inconsiderate…” These are the things I hear from so many of my clients and students with high-functioning anxiety because they have been taught that it’s selfish to take care of your needs first and they’re afraid of being viewed in a negative light by others. This perception further perpetuates the belief that your needs don’t matter, that they aren’t important. Let’s dive into this topic so you can learn how to prioritize yourself WITHOUT being selfish.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Is prioritizing yourself selfish?
- The importance of nuance in discussing self-care and mental health
- Tangible tips and thought exercises to help you prioritize yourself… without being selfish

Do you think it’s selfish to prioritize yourself? Why or why not?

[@celestegalloway6840]

I don’t think it’s selfish when someone else prioritizes themselves, but I struggle to allow myself to prioritize me

@@celestegalloway6840 You're definitely not alone, Celeste. We often tend to be the hardest on ourselves. You deserve to prioritize yourself. ❤

I just don’t see how it can fail to be selfish. I only have so much to give. My needs and the needs of others are mutually exclusive. If I want to pay my bills then work has to come first. If that means burning myself out then I just have to do it. If I want people to like me then I need to maintain friendships and attend to the needs and wants of the people I care about.
