Ep. 78: Adjust Your Own Oxygen Mask First

How do you put the oxygen mask on yourself?

First, you give yourself permission to do so. The care and feeding of you is up to you and no one else.

Take back the remote control of your life. Own it. Your time is your time. Don’t give yourself away so there’s nothing left of you for you. Before you give any of your time away, ask what you’re trading in for it. Is it worth the trade?

Every week, set aside one hour just for you. Make it your own personal pleasure cruise. Take an hour of beauty and go to the art museum. Take an hour of calm and listen to your favorite music. Take an hour of nature to soak up the sun, the rain, the stars.

Put the oxygen mask on yourself first, and everyone around you will breathe a little easier, too.
