I grew up being told to be kind and look after everyone else first before me! Once my children grew up and left home, I've learned to be kind to myself first, and since that happened, it's so much easier to be kinder to others, than there's no resentment built up for other people picking "my bones dry". It's also getting easier to say "no" to people if I need to have time for myself. That was a hard one for me to learn after being a people pleaser most of my life.
