Putting yourself first, especially as a woman, is always a highly recommended pro tip for navigating the world as seamlessly as possible. Prioritizing your needs, feelings, and wants is a sure way to be happier and gain clarity on your purpose. It can also improve your mental health and well-being, positively affecting your interpersonal relationships and work life.
However, putting yourself first doesn’t mean you should withhold from pouring back into the people who pour (love, kindness and support) into you. It doesn’t mean getting so caught up in being the main character that you treat everyone else as an afterthought.
If you get 10/15 on this quiz, it’s time to reevaluate if you’re really putting yourself first in a way that makes for a fuller life or if you’re just selfish, self-centred and out of touch with reality.
