| Attend to YOUR needs! Then, you can help your loved ones! |
I wanted to share this simple rule of thumb that helped me, and many of my coaching students keep all the balls in the air without feeling overwhelmed.
It works exceptionally well for perfectionists and high achievers, who often put others' needs ahead of their own.
The rule of thumb is this -
PUT YOUR OXYGEN MASK FIRST
The back story.
When I was still a workaholic, I used to travel a lot.
Every time before the plane took off, flight attendants would review the safety procedures and turn on a safety video. In the video, they'd show an emergency, with oxygen masks popping out in front of all passengers. One of the passengers, a mother, would put on an oxygen mask on herself, then turn to the left and put another mask on her little boy. A voice in the video advised passengers, "Be sure to adjust your own mask before helping others."
During one of those flights, I went to the bathroom and as I was coming back to my seat… I fainted.
Flight attendants helped me up. They took my blood pressure. It turned out I fainted simply because I was exhausted and haven't had anything to eat that day. My blood sugar was too low. So they gave me a (free) sandwich and some orange juice.
This was my wake up call.
It suddenly hit me that I had three kids at home, 9, 7, and two years old at the time. I better start putting on my oxygen mask! So I can be around to help my kids when they need me…
I'm sharing this story with you to encourage you to take note of your day-to-day priorities and do a quick safety check-in with yourself:
– are you prioritizing what is truly valuable for you?
– is your behaviour in line with your core values?
– is your oxygen mask on?
Take good care of yourself!
