60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday: Put On Your Own Oxygen Mask First.

Episode Summary

Self care is your oxygen mask; put it on first before helping others.

Episode Notes

Hello to you in Almaty, Kazakhstan

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.

Whether or not you’ve flown in an airplane you’ve likely heard this instruction: “In the event of a sudden drop in pressure, an oxygen mask will drop from above. Secure your own mask first before assisting others." It’s not selfish; because to do it this way enables you to take care of yourself as well as helping others if need be.

Your own well-being is at the very center of being able to live a self-caring life; not a selfish life but one that meets your needs and well as helping out where you are needed.

Self care is your oxygen mask. Today, remember to give some kind attention to your emotional energy: fill your world with people, places, experiences, and work that supports you, believes in you, and lights you up.
