I am a person that is always taking care of everyone else, my question is how do I literally learn how to take better care of myself without worrying about everyone else that I care about. I don't want to learn to be selfish, but I believe it would be nice sometimes. I just don't want to hurt other people.

Taking care of self is not being selfish...it is your job and your responsibility! View yourself as one of your best friends, instead of a discarded, neglected friend. Stop thinking about pleasing everyone else...it cannot be done...you can't please everyone! You will make those who care about you happier if they see you being nicer to yourself. They will support that.

It hurts other people when you dont take care of yourself. The better you take care of yourself the better you can take care of everyone else!!! Eat well, exercise, take some time for you, get out without the kids some times and relax.

Do one thing just for you. It could even be small like getting your nails done, or get a massage every other week. But treat yourself once in a while. You'll actually become better at taking care of others as a result (but yeah, don't take it too far - you don't want to become the center of your universe. Then no one would want to be around you.).

You have to teach the people around you to act the same way as you... sometimes when you do everything for everyone else, it is a sign of weakness.. therefore when you stop acting this way your family or friends near you will take it as a sign that you are trying to prove something to them, they might assume it is signs of anger towards them.. Just put yourself first and everything will work itself out.
