🌟 Importance of Self-care: Put on Your Mask First 🌟
Remember the first instruction we receive from a flight attendant: 'Put on your masks before assisting your neighbor.' 🛩️ This isn't just about airplane safety; it's a powerful metaphor for self-care. Let's unpack it! 🧐
Imagine finding yourself in a situation where oxygen becomes scarce. If you choose to help your neighbor without securing your own mask, there's no guarantee you will have enough oxygen to assist anyone, including yourself. 😔 That's the irony of prioritizing others before ourselves.
Our founder, Angela Cox, recently shared a personal story that beautifully illustrates this point. 😇 In this month's blog post, Angela recounts a powerful experience that reminded her of the vital importance of caring for oneself first. 💪
We invite you to read Angela's story and discover the transformative power of self-care. 📖✨ It's not selfish; it's self-preservation and a commitment to making a difference. After all, by taking care of ourselves, we empower ourselves to serve others even better. ❤️ The blog link is found in the comments below.
