Jenny was a bright woman who lived in a small village and was well-known for her kindness. She was raised in a busy and challenging environment and is now a grandmother. She was always the first to offer assistance when needed, a sympathetic ear, and unselfish deeds without expecting anything in return. But all she really wanted was a small token of appreciation—just a confirmation of all the things she and others had given up.
Jenny was the one who kept her family together, but she never spoke up for what she wanted. She was convinced that she was valued and respected, but she never said anything more than that. But as the years went by, Jenny began to feel empty and as though her life was lacking something.
One day, Jenny realized that all she really needed was to be appreciated as she sat in her house, which was full of signs of a peaceful life well lived.
being able to locate a person who would value her and express gratitude for everything!
Jenny discovered as she sat thinking back on her life how much she had given to others but had never given to herself. She had discovered that self-love was a true act of self-love. For decades, she had put the needs of others before her own and run around like a headless chicken, working hard to meet what she felt were extensive demands from family.
Jenny decided to be grateful to herself and set a new objective. She began pampering herself, indulging in luxurious spa days, going on strolls through the park, and taking baths. And as she learned to see herself as the strong, tough, and brave woman she had become when she had free time, she started to value her own transformation!
We all are looking for feelings of gratitude, and Jenny found those within her when she started loving herself more. Which means that even without the official seal of approval, she was whole and valid, as I understand it. She could give herself the best possible love and appreciation.
Jenny realized at that moment that she really only needed a small amount of self-validation. It was time for her to focus solely on herself because she had dedicated her entire life to serving others. Jenny became more aware of how content and at ease she was with who she was as she worked through her self-acceptance.
It is acceptable to care for others, particularly family members. But not to the point where you lose your identity. We see this in the majority of the families. Family members should also respect women who give their lives to serve others. Women play various roles in life. Right from being a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. They work nonstop, and no one asks about their well-being. Undoubtedly, some people do. Agree!
However, for some, it is a living hell.
So, what about these women?
Who is going to take care of them?
Some women are fortunate to be able to confide in people who offer assistance and advice. Before expecting someone else to come forward and offer assistance, you should think. You alone have the ability to help yourself. All you have to do is be courageous, resilient, and open-minded. Being self-reliant and focusing on personal development is indeed critical. However, having a strong support system will help. But it is not that simple. Even if you do, it may not satisfy your requirements. So, in order to think independently, you must first identify your own needs. You will be able to identify when you face difficulties. All you need to do is push yourself forward. Things will automatically fall into place. Being open-minded will allow you to see situations from different perspectives and come up with new solutions.
