Any time at all!! It does take a little courage to stand up and do what you want for yourself, but the opportunity is always there. Of course, sometimes being a little selfless doesn't hurt, but you should always be able to do what will make you happy.

Its good to make others happy but not if it is making you unhappy. I would hope you enjoy making others happy but you must not be destructive to yourself. Sometimes you need to put yourself first.

You stop when you decide to stop. If you feel that you need to focus on yourself, and you need to make yourself happy, you need to decide to make yourself a priority- instead of others.

You can stop anytime, but making others feel happy can make you happy and grateful in general but the choice and decisions yours.

Making others happy is a choice, and a good one too. It gives your purpose I guess you could say. But, sometimes you need to stop and care for yourself as well. You have to love and respect yourself as much as you do for other people, so you don't have to continue making others happy if you want to stop and care for yourself for a little bit.

When you start deciding that you are the most important thing for your life. That does not mean to be selfish. But to make sure that you are well and you are happy and that this comes first.

Once you start trying to make yourself happy. Focusing on yourself does not mean you are being selfish or ignorant. It is important to find the balance. Remember you can only help others if you have already helped yourself. How to find the balance? If you are to make a choice, observe how you feel in the area of your chest. If you feel free and calm, you can make a compromise. If you, however, feel heavier or as if the free space is shrinking, then it is not a good time to compromise with your own wants and wishes. Always respect yourself by first checking how you are feeling and once resourceful enough, you can share the love and care with the others. Love yourself first, so you can collect energy to give others too.

You've probably grown up being told that Everyone Else Comes First, right? Well, it's not true at all. Everyone (including you) has needs and wants, and needs are more important than wants. So if you need something and someone else wants something, take care of you first. That's self-care.
