EP 604: Putting our own Oxygen Mask on First + Life is an Empty Jar
b'
We\\u2019re filing today\\u2019s post under \\u2018Better late than never\\u201d (I have never before recorded and posted an episode this late in the day!
\\nIn the first segment this evening, I illustrate the similarity between Self Compassion and the instructions we get on an airplane to put our own oxygen mask on before trying to help the person next to us.
\\nWhen we practice Self Compassion, we give ourselves the precious and vital energy and strength to show up and be of service to the people and circumstances of our lives.
\\nLike on the airplane, Self Compassion is a self-LESS act; it is not a selfish act.
\\nIn the second segment today, I relay a story I\\u2019d heard a long time ago about a philosophy lesson taught through an empty mayonnaise jar and a bucket full of golf balls.
\\nIt turns out to be one of the most important lessons of them all!
\\nHope you enjoy the episode and I\\u2019ll see you in a few days.
