  • You cannot give and pour from an empty vessel.
    When we continuously serve from a cup that is not being filled, we find ourselves withered and dry.
    In this episode of Honest Tea Talk, we unpack the mistaken belief that we learn and subconsciously teach as women, that selflessness is a quality to be celebrated and something we inherit by nature. We discuss the damage that comes with taking care of others without taking care of yourself, and how leaving only crumbs for ourselves leaves us feeling crumbled and empty.
    This episode reclaims the narrative and embraces self-care for what it is: an act of worship to Our Creator, Who entrusted us with caring for ourselves - mentally, physically and spiritually.
    Watch the episode now to discover the steps we regularly take to fill our cups, and let's talk about prioritising you.

    When a woman puts herself first,she can help people without even speaking - all you gotta do is take a look at her.Also when a woman has a lovely powerful or confident aura, she will attract these people into her life and later on it will carry with her thru out her ”wife-hood” and subconsiesly she will teach it to her kids which leads to a healthy household. I wish women understood their worth and start to see their power without having to get married - we are already complete we just have to find ourselves,no male can make a woman complete,a real man can bring the feminine powerful energy out of her naturally with him being naturally a healthy masculine man. Our nature is being neglected and played with thru out these cultures because people get threatened by our power - society,babies and even animals can sense feminine energy.Its powerful,wonderful and needed in earth , thats why we call it mother nature. Feminine is plays a big role on earths well being, we have to embrace that instead of waiting for someone making us a wife or a mother.Inshallah all my sister can get in touch with their powerful peaceful self if they are struggling right now,putting yourself first will help yourself and everybody around you without you doing anything🌸

    I was just talking about this with my soon to be 9 year old, that why do I sometimes not pay attention to them. Then I told her I just need "me time" and I reminded her how we had fun earlier together. I think it is a great idea to explain to your children especially the girls so they can understand and learn it for themselves as well. I love what Ummu Ayman said about Allah prioritizing each and everyone of us and so taking care of ones self is an act of Ibadah and we all know that taking care of ourselves and staying away from what harms us is defeinetly Ibadah. Reminds me of 2 hadiths, the first one just paraphrasing: a believer doesn't hurt others and they also should not allow others to harm them. So for me the harm will be physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. The second hadith was talking about sitting alone in contemplation is better than praying tahajjud all night. So relaxing, alone time, listening to your inner thoughts, knowing yourself, realizing your purpose, praising your Rabb, it's all an act of worship and a person would have to put everyone aside to do this. May Allah guide us.

    I’m a student and work part-time. But since I don’t have the ‘mother’ or ‘wife’ title currently, I’m perceived as not doing anything or have it easy, so i try to be out there for people. But even so, it’s not enough. This makes me even more exhausted and doubtful of my efforts. When I got burned out and tried to put my needs first, I felt guilty so I went back out there again without properly healing. And that eventually caused big argument, but I’m still feeling guilty for fighting, like “was it worth fighting for?” 😔😔

      @@mmmmmmm2971 thats so nice for answering to my comment and to help me. I am not really sure if thats the right approach in my case. People with narcissistic disorder can't stand it to be critisized. My mother would fight back with words and blame me. She would pull my father in her position and they both say the same. She doesn't see it as a need from her daughter to talk or wish to be seen, she is concentrated on what I say, take events from the past and push them in front of my face without thinking about anything. I always had the illusion, if I tell how I feel, how unfair this is, it would at least give her a bit of sense that I am suffering. That's in my head. What actually will happen is that she denies my reality and says that I don't have any respect, and addition how could I have not respect, she fed me and made me sleep in bed. Thats everything she sees. I didn't want to accept the reality. I was doing everything to be enough but I was never. For her. I guess after that there is more tension and I can't stand this now. I understand your point, earlier I thought about to do it but simply always I am shut down when I have a different opinion. The point of speaking the pain out is right and you remebered me about.

    Alhumdulillah for this effort.
    The cultural taboo is something that has had a generational impact.
    And it definitely is from example that you learn how to register yourself.
    Jazakillaahu Khairan.
    Self care is not a voluntary and a show neglect to serving others rather it should be recognised a a mandatory exercise.

    I think it's so important to check in with yourself everyday. Make that time to sit with your own thoughts and ground yourself in your intentions.
    It's so easy to get stuck in the monotony and repetition of daily life. Day after day, month after month, it's easier and a lot less painful if you can avoid thinking about who you are and what you want. Inevitably those who fail to make time for themselves will find the consequences catch up with them sometime in the future. When you're finally alone, in that moment of solitude you'll be in crisis, so out of touch with yourself you'll no longer know who you really are.

This is a message from my heart to you. No heat No judgement. May allah swt grant u ease Xx

    Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
    A strong believer is better and is more lovable to Allah than a weak believer, and there is good in everyone, (but) cherish that which gives you benefit (in the Hereafter) and seek help from Allah and do not lose heart, and if anything (in the form of trouble) comes to you, don't say: If I had not done that,or If only I had done something else. Rather say: Allah has decreed what he wills. Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of Satan.”

    I really liked this episode, and I feel inspired by how you speak about committing to yourself, and "what do you have if you're not committed to yourself" like S. Aliyah said. Also I feel like there's a limit to how deeply you can be there for others when you don't prioritise yourself. The "help" is shallow or inauthentic. Maybe even it's the only way you feel self worth so then maybe you're not even doing it for others but to fulfill your own needs to feel a sense of worth. I would also love to hear more about Self care from you guys from an islamic perspective, you touched upon that a bit at the end. Like how do you know/how can you feel like you're important to Allah and like Aliyah said and how does Allah prioritise us?

    There are many women who can’t find good husband. All the good men settle with one wife while these men can support multiple wives because they fear the back lash due to current social political norms. Why don’t you encourage your husbands and other men take up their responsibilities of supporting move wives.

    It’s a real struggle for women like me acting without prioritising myself from very long time and finding out I’m off now... without describing the details of my personale situation. However I’ve had a very self-loving mum who didn’t forget to prioritise herself even having four children. It didn’t sadly help to pass it to me because I struggle doing it but I definitely recommend to find time for ourselves taking back energy and positivity offering a better part of ourselves. Thank you for your contribute sisters 😘😘😘

    Yikes I over indulge in "me time". All the time :P. How else are you meant to function? Perhaps my ignorance i thought this was a thing of the past.... with all the women empowerment movements. The circle of women I am part of all have "me time". Its normal and accepted by all family members. In fact its seen as abnormal to not want time for yourself and not go out socialise, pamper or spend on yourself.

  • @abubakariddriss3519

    i think with mothers or women prioritising herself before others is something women have naturally. And it cuts across, to her husband, siblings, even friends and one that can't beat is her children. I think its something wonderful in a positive way. And I really respect that,

    Honestly ladies, I think it's very good that you guys talk about this serious topic. But I have a question for you that is about my best friend. How can you prioritize yourself if your ex husband is a narcissist (so he's not going to do anything for you and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the kids)? And 1 of her children is also severely handicapped and she has no family for the rest and the other children are also still small. I am very curious if you can help me with this. Really I need some advice from someone, otherwise she will end up in a serious burnout.I personally also try to help but I also have 4 children myself so it is difficult, but when I look at her situation my heart breaks to pieces because of how difficult it is for her.

    Men need to priorities themselves also since you will be blame everything bad things that happens in the marriage.

Also Islam gives you choices in life.
