When Did You Stop Caring About Yourself?

When Did You Stop Caring About Yourself?

Life has a way of wearing us down. The dreams we once had, the goals we set, and the passion that drove us can sometimes fade under the weight of daily struggles. But the truth is, it doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to accept a life that feels unfulfilled or let go of the belief that you are capable of so much more. Let’s take a moment to ask the hard questions, to reflect, and to rekindle the spark within.

When did you give up caring about how you look, feel, and your life?
When did you give up caring?

When did you stop caring about how you look?
When did you stop caring about how you felt?
When did you stop caring about your life?

When did you lose hope?
When did you stop loving yourself?
Why do you have so little faith in yourself?
What happened to your self-esteem?
When did you stop believing in yourself?

What is your story?

Who told you that you couldn’t?
Couldn't what?

What is your story?

Why did you give yourself permission to stop caring about how you looked, felt, or about your life?
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you like the person you see?

Do you drink too much, smoke too much, use illegal drugs, or abuse prescription drugs? Do you work too much? Have you strayed from your relationship? Have you been faithful?

Have you stopped exercising? Told yourself you just don’t matter anymore? Or asked, what’s the use?
What’s the use of exercising, quitting smoking, or stopping the use of alcohol or drugs to medicate your pain?

Are you in a relationship that is dead and unfulfilled?

Why have you quit? Quit believing in yourself? Quit dreaming? Quit setting goals? Quit on life?

What’s your story?

I was recently on a cruise and noticed that there were quite a few people who ate too much, drank too much, and gambled too much. I saw a lot of unhappy faces. People seemed to be moving about, but not living the life they once dreamed of.
I asked myself, why did they quit? Why did you quit? When did they stop caring how they looked? When did they give themselves permission to gain an extra 25, 50, 100, or 150 pounds, to smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, to drink 10, 15, or 20 drinks in a day, or to gamble at the casino with what little money they had left?
What possessed them to keep going—to keep not caring? To inflict upon themselves behaviors that they know in their heart are not healthy?

Why? When? And for what reason?

Who told you that it was OK to keep drinking to excess or to take drugs or to smoke or to overeat? Did you tell yourself, or did someone else tell you it was OK? Who told you that you were not good enough, that you didn’t measure up, that it was OK to abuse and pollute your body and mind with harmful products?

It doesn’t have to be that way!

Isn’t it about time you started caring again? About how you look? Feel? Act?

Isn’t it about time you quit drinking too much, gambling too much, eating too much, and using drugs? We could put a whole host of other behaviors here, such as shopping too much or soliciting sexual gratification, that are unhealthy and harm your relationships with others.

Why?

Why did you stop caring?
When did you stop caring about you?

It is not too late. It is never too late to change. It is never too late to start dreaming again. The world is your oyster.

Have faith in yourself, trust and believe in yourself, know that you are valuable, that you have worth, and begin again to love yourself just the way you are today. Then dream of who you would like to become.
