What an Oxygen Mask can Teach us About Self-Care When we think about overall well-being one of the foundations is caring for ourselves. Self-care seems like a reasonable concept, but in reality, it often can be challenging. We sometimes hear phrases like “take care of yourself”, “give yourself some downtime”, and “relax”, but how do we actually find the time when all areas of life seem to constantly demand our attention? We may find that we prioritize the needs of others over our own personal needs. It seems like there is always something we could be doing for our family, jobs, friends, home, pets, etc., and the to do lists seems to get longer rather than shorter even when we do our best to accomplish each task. Why is it that self-care seems to be the first thing to fall off the list and all of our other needs take priority?
