Self-Compassion

​

Remember what the airline attendant says:

"Before assisting others, put your oxygen mask on first."

​

Taking care of oneself is the first step in caring for others.

"Learn to love yourself, be gentle with yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others."

--- Wilferd Peterson
