I am used to walking on eggshells. I cared more about what other people thought of me than what I thought of myself. But I recently realized I am only hurting myself. I stopped caring about being judged and started living for myself. It has honestly been the most freeing experience. I am working on myself, for myself and I am not going to apologize for putting myself first. When you put yourself first you will notice your life change in the most positive ways.

You are happier person.

You are not worried about how to act or what to say. You will simply live without any expectation.

You gain more confidence in yourself.

You do not doubt yourself and you are not be as self conscious because you know who you are. You do not care about being judged because you accept and love yourself.

You take more risks.

You are not afraid to do things you would have never done before. You do it for your own satisfaction.

You know your journey.

The only person you are in competition with is the person you were yesterday. You do not feel pressure to be on the same level as anyone else and you do not compare where you are to where other people are. You understand that everyone goes through life at their own pace.

You appreciate the time you have.

The time you would have wasted worrying about other people, you spend on yourself. You use that time to reflect on yourself and your progress.
