always concerned with others’ wellbeing

Dear User, thank you for sharing your concern about always being focused on others' wellbeing. It's admirable that you care so much about the people around you, but it's also important to make sure that you take care of yourself. From a Buddhist perspective, the concept of "metta" or loving-kindness involves extending compassion and concern to oneself as well as others. It's essential to cultivate self-compassion and self-care to avoid burnout and exhaustion. From a psychological perspective, it's crucial to understand the concept of boundaries. Boundaries are essential for healthy relationships, and they involve knowing your limits and expressing them to others. It's okay to say no to requests or to take time for yourself. It's also important to recognize that you can't control others' wellbeing, and it's not your responsibility to fix everything. Coaching advice: To cultivate self-compassion, try to treat yourself as you would a good friend. Take care of your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Practice mindfulness and self-reflection to become more aware of your thoughts and feelings. To establish boundaries, start by identifying your limits and communicating them to others. Practice saying no to requests that don't align with your values or priorities. Remember that it's okay to prioritize your own wellbeing.
