Dear Alexandra:

My comment regarding your last share: not only is it not hurting others to put yourself first, that is to put your well being as your first priority (“putting myself first is unselfish and does not mean that I am hurting others”), it is helping others, or most likely to help others. I can’t even think of the why of it, at this particular moment, but this is my experience, at one point and on during my healing process.

We only think, believe that placing our well being as our number one priority is a … bad thing. That is so because as children we were punished for doing so. But it was not a bad thing then and it is not a bad thing now. It is a good thing.
