Usually we are taught not to think only about ourselves, but also to take care of the people around them and their interests. But with all this fuss, a person can forget about himself, about his "I", about his dreams. How to learn to think about yourself, but at the same time not to harm the world around you?
Instruction manual

A person who loves himself and takes care of himself daily is in a state of harmony, he is most happy and effective in his activities. But can you only love yourself, and the rest - no? The joke is that you can’t. He who turns only to himself, but is turned away from others, does not know true love and will not be happy. Therefore, it is important to understand that thinking only about yourself will not work, but it is important to think about yourself first.

To get started, stand in front of the mirror and carefully examine your reflection. Establish a connection with your personality, run your hands over your body, turn around in different directions. Look into your eyes, trace the facial expressions. It is important that you periodically get to know yourself in such a way, because a person stops thinking about himself when he loses touch with himself, when he forgets what he looks like, what his eyes are, how he shows himself and feels. He looks at himself only through the eyes of other people, and this is wrong.

You will always think about yourself and your goals if you make a habit of keeping a diary daily, writing down your thoughts and feelings, as well as what you managed to do and what you still want to accomplish. In addition, once a week, summarize, put a plus opposite to what you were able to do and write a new task plan for the week. It is these tasks that will become your main engine in life.

Take care of yourself, watch your body, exercise, choose the right food. If you make this your habit, which benefits both you and your health, then no feast, no friends and relatives can lead you to your side, because first of all you will think about yourself and be guided only by personal choice.

Sign up for solo dances. This is a terrific method to find and strengthen communication with your body, spirit and soul. It is in dance that the main task is to think only about yourself and the music. It can be strip plastic or improvisation, but only that dance, where everything depends on you, where you can fully feel yourself and your body. It is such a valuable state that is important to maintain in ordinary life.

When you are asked for something, look at it not only as one-way help, where you are only used as a tool. Find the pros in any situation, ask for something in return, or develop some skill thanks to the completed work. In this case, you will not be turned away from the whole world and be known as a terrible egoist, and at the same time you will be able to fully comply with all your interests.
