Listen "E06: Oxygen Mask: help! who's first?"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a text I'm Alvat Garewal, and today, we’re diving into a powerful lesson in self-care and resilience—one that’s often overlooked yet crucial for living a balanced life.If you’ve ever been on an aeroplane, you’ve heard the safety briefing: “Secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others.” At first, it may seem counterintuitive. After all, shouldn’t we help those in need first? But the truth is, if you can’t breathe, you won’t be able to help anyone at all.This simple yet profound principle extends far beyond the confines of an aircraft—it applies to our everyday lives. Whether it’s our physical health, emotional well-being, or financial stability, we must ensure we are in a strong position before we can truly support others.In this episode, we’ll explore why self-care is not selfish but essential, how neglecting ourselves can lead to burnout, and why prioritising our well-being allows us to show up fully for those who depend on us.So, take a deep breath, settle in, and let’s talk about why putting on your own oxygen mask first is one of the most important things you can do—for yourself and for the people around you.
