in the event of oxygen masks drops during a flight one is instructed to put their mask on before assisting others. the point being you're no good to anyone if you're belly up not breathing. i've often tried to subscribe to this thinking in my own personal life. as a full time mom, full time employee, girl scout leader blah de blah....i know that i have to take care of myself physically AND mentally in order to play the game of life at my peak.
my dear friend andrew sent me an article and cited me as being brilliant for thinking of something far in advance of cnn's report :) i can't claim the credit for the theory, i think i read it ages ago, but it's a great article and in today's world, we can all use the reminder to slip that oxygen mask on and maintain balance for ourselves so we can be effective for those we love. kids deffo pick up on the energy we produce, be it negative but hopefully more positive.
