Save Yourself First!


Airline stewardesses remind us when communicating safety procedures to place the air mask on ourselves first before helping ANYONE else.  Without ensuring your safety the risk of dying and not being able to assist others becomes magnified.  Saving yourself first is not a selfish act – it is a strategic approach to better ensure that everyone will make it through the crisis safely.
As women, we tend to take on the “saving the world syndrome” while dying within.  Initially, there are feelings of great momentum and strength that comes with wearing an “S” on your chest.  However, if you do not save yourself first you run the risk of burning out and becoming ineffective to all parties.

So adhere to this warning!  Get “you” right; make sure “you” are secure; ensure “your” health FIRST.  And the chances of withstanding while saving others will increase tremendously.
