There’s a reason they tell you to put your oxygen mask on first.
Not because others don’t matter…But because you can’t guide, hold, love, or lead from a place where you can’t breathe.
Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s sustaining.
It’s the water you drink before you’re thirsty.The boundary you hold before resentment builds.The walk you take when your mind feels loud.The prayer, the breath, the quiet moment that brings you back home to yourself.
Like a trail…You don’t sprint the whole thing.You pace. You rest. You recalibrate. You stay the path.
Supporting your physical, emotional, and spiritual self isn’t a detour —It is the path.
Put your oxygen mask on.Then keep walking.
