I am not one for clichés - BUT - there is this line I often use with my clients...

"Put on YOUR oxygen mask first..."

The cliché "put on your own oxygen mask first" is a metaphor for self-care, advising you to prioritize your own well-being so you are able to help others effectively. Just as an airplane passenger must secure their own oxygen mask before assisting others to avoid becoming incapacitated, you must take care of your physical, mental, and emotional health to have the energy and capacity to support loved ones, family, or colleagues.

Meaning and application

You can't pour from an empty cup: If you neglect your own needs, you will eventually run out of energy and become depleted, making you unable to help anyone.

Prevents burnout:

By taking time for yourself, you can prevent stress, fatigue, and other health problems that can arise from constantly putting others first.
More effective help: When you are well-rested and supported, you are better equipped to offer effective assistance to others.

Applies to everyone:

This advice is particularly important for caregivers, parents, teachers, and anyone who spends a lot of time taking care of others.

Practice self-care:

Activities like eating well, exercising, setting boundaries, and seeking help are all ways of putting on your own oxygen mask. Self-care is increasingly vital in a world that can often feel insensitive and self-centered. But once you’ve nurtured yourself and replenished your kindness, don’t forget to share it outward. One thing is clear: the world could use a lot more tenderness.

10 Fascinating Facts About the Human Body
1. Your brain makes enough electricity to power a small light bulb.
2. Your heart beats over 100,000 times a day — that’s about 3 billion times in a lifetime.
3. Smells can trigger memories instantly.
Your brain connects scent, emotion, and memory in powerful ways.
4. You’re born with 270 bones but end up with 206 — some fuse as you grow.
5. Your body holds about 100,000 km (62,000 miles) of blood vessels — enough to wrap around the Earth twice.
6. You actually glow in the dark, but it’s too faint for the human eye to see.
7. You’re more microbe than human.
Bacteria in and on you outnumber your human cells.
8. Your eyes see the world upside down, and your brain flips it right-side up.
9. Your tongue has eight interwoven muscles — just like an elephant’s trunk.
10. You shed and replace your entire outer layer of skin about once a month.
That’s roughly 1.5 pounds of dead skin every year.

The human body is wild, weird, and wonderful.
Which fact surprised you most?

7 Quick Facts About Stress
1. It’s natural. Stress is your body’s way of responding to challenges — in small doses, it can actually sharpen your focus.
2. Chronic stress harms the body. Long-term stress can lead to high blood pressure, low immunity, and fatigue.
3. Hormones are involved. Your body releases cortisol and adrenaline during stress — the classic “fight or flight” reaction.
4. It changes your brain. Ongoing stress can shrink the hippocampus (memory) and overactivate the amygdala (fear).
5. You can feel it physically. Tense muscles, headaches, and poor sleep are all common signs of stress.
6. The mind and body are connected. Stress affects your breath, heartbeat, and digestion.
7. You can release it. Breathing, movement, mindfulness can help restore calm and balance.
