Put You First Others Second

“I’m totally exhausted.”

 

This statement is easily dismissed given its constant airing.

 

It’s not a whinge or a complaint – it’s almost an audible pause.

 

Too often this expression isn’t delved into … to discover its anchor.

 

I often encourage a conversation about what’s causing the most exhaustion.4=-

 

We start to uncover the list of relationships which you’re there for:

·       Colleagues/Co-workers

·       Crew/Team

·       Clients/Customers/Patients/constituents

·       Community

·       C-Suite/Boss/Manager

·       Children/Family/Partner

·       Cause/Charity

·       Church

 

Where do you contribute most?

Or what consumes your attention most?

 

Each is a priority.

And each relationship requires your thoughts, emotions, and physical contribution.

 

Yet, where do YOU fit in?

 

You’ve got to care for yourself.

It’s a priority.

Whilst we’re not on many aircraft at the moment, we still know the drill of placing the Oxygen Mask on ourselves first and others second.

 

Put yourself first others second.

Boost your energy to boost your confidence and courage to enable you to continue to contribute.

 

I still have a couple of places available on my February Group Mentoring Program.

Will you join us to remove the exhaustion?
