It remains a challenge: taking good care of yourself and trying to keep all the balls up at the same time. But it is super important! Because if you take good care of yourself, you can also take better care of others. Below you will find 10 signals that show that you are unfortunately not taking good enough care of yourself:
1. You haven’t completely accepted yourself yet
This is what many people struggle with: the ability to simply accept who we are. For whatever reason, we still make attempts to appear, think, and behave differently than we actually are. We think that we have to live up to a certain image that we have created in our heads.
Self-acceptance is not easy, but it is certainly achievable. It’s not just a healthy way of life, it should be the way of life. Self-acceptance is accepting who we are without judgment.
2. You’re still too hard on yourself
When we are always hard on ourselves, it is impossible to be kind to yourself at the same time. By continually punishing ourselves and not accepting our mistakes, we become unhappy.
You can become happy when you are kind to yourself. Achieve this by admitting our shortcomings and no longer punishing ourselves. No one is perfect and the willingness to accept this makes life much easier.

3. You are not in touch with your desires
Selfless people are fantastic for our society. But when you are too selfless it becomes unhealthy. It is extremely important for us humans to be able to fulfill our desires. We all need love, acceptance and attention.
Therefore, make sure you are in touch with your emotional, spiritual, physical and mental desires.
4. You are out of touch with your dreams and goals
Do you really remember what your dreams are? What things are extremely important to you? What are your expectations of life and of other people? Sometimes you don’t know this yourself anymore because you are always busy with others.
It is important to occasionally reflect on what you find important. Do you live according to your values and intentions or do you unconsciously ignore them?

5. You Neglect Self-Love
As children, we are taught to always be kind to others. Being kind is a sign of love and important if we want to live in a good world. But being kind to yourself is just as important!
So be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and love yourself.
6. You are not properly aware of yourself
The ability to be aware of your thoughts and actions is something that only we humans can do. It is also something that is often taken for granted. But our ability to understand how our behavior affects us and the world around us is something we need to be very aware of.
So are your thoughts helpful to yourself? Or do they mainly harm you? Be honest with yourself. As humans, we are fortunate that we are able to positively change our behavior!
