The purpose of this book is to help you focus on self-care practices for wholeness in mind, body, and spirit. I am not writing on this subject to give any credit to self for selfie reasons. The word self today connects to a selfie generation. Selfie pictures and selfie sticks create a thought-process of self-absorption. Being self-centered is essentially not fulfilling and leaves people feeling empty.
Conversely, focusing on serving other people, cultivates higher purpose and fulfillment. Helping others offsets the selfish and self-centered proclivities of our human nature. My contention is in the pouring ourselves out for the sake of others. We need to have the means to receive, recalibrate, and be restored. My self-care approach intends to alter these understandings to an altar-ed space of first caring for the self.
Moreover, before you can fully love and be in relationship with others, you must first love you. I liken this to travel on an airplane. Before departure, the airline attendants include this one rule during their oxygen instructions announcements. In the event of a decompression, an oxygen mask will automatically appear in front of you. To start the flow of oxygen, first pull the mask towards yourself. Place it firmly over your nose and mouth, secure the elastic band behind your head, and breathe normally. At this point, after you have secured first your wellbeing, you are then in a position to help anyone who needs assistance
