Put your oxygen mask on first!

Listening to  the flight attendant's safety talk right before take off, I was reminded that this advice has practical implications for many areas of living that do not partake of an emergency.  Both for myself and for clients who seek out my Ayurvedic services, placing yourself first is not a selfish action, because our vehicle our body is ours to Stewart.  We can expect things to break, degrade and age so maintanence is of great necessity.  Running around as if every day were an emergency is unnecessary!  Put your oxygen mask on first before attending to others.  Take a tool, deep breathing, yoga, meditation, helpful nutrition and USE IT.  Try it out for a couple of weeks and report back to yourself, what worked?  what didn't?  Refine your sensibilities  develop a discriminating mind, open up to new possibilities, it's like a "breath of fresh air".
