This means self-care is mandatory, not
optional. The airlines truly do have it right.
You must “put your own oxygen mask on
first” before helping those in need around
you. What the flight attendant doesn’t say
is that if you fail to care for yourself first,
unconsciousness or even death may result.
Yet many of us have been taught to ignore
our own needs as we focus on caring
for those around us. This is a sure recipe
for disaster. Now is the time to turn this
paradigm around and treat our own heart as
a primary resource that is to be treasured
and deeply valued.
The heart is the home of our deepest
inspiration and the well of our love for life.
Having respect for the wisdom of the heart
and living from its rich depths is essential.
