I have spent all day today, applying for a job, and as I filled out the long , long , long application form I took a break to write my first post here.
In this blog I want to share so thoughts on mental health and how difficult we sometimes find it to take an interest in out own wellbeing, hence the title of my blog 'fit your own oxygen mask first' ! I have found almost without exception that the clients I have worked with have struggled with their own worthiness and so I hope that this blog will reach out to anyone who struggles to put themselves first once in a while!
Most of us will have sat on a plane at sometime in our lives and pretended to be interested as the flight safety demonstration takes place but within that demonstration is a deeper message, fit you own oxygen mask before you try to help others, after all you are no use to anyone suffocating on the floor !
So with that in mind I am going to have a cup of tea and a chocolate moose before I finish the application form from hell!
What will you do today that is just for you ?
Top tip for today - drink plenty of water - whilst we a enjoying the heat our bodies can become rapidly dehydrated, in fact, if you are thirsty , you are already dehydrated. Dehydration can cause tiredness and headaches making it likely you will feel low. So drink water and be happy !
