I am not writing on this subject to give any credit to \"self\" for \"selfie\" reasons. The word \"self\" today connects to a \"selfie\" generation. Selfie pictures and selfie sticks create a thought-process of self-absorption. Being self-centered is essentially not fulfilling and leaves people feeling empty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Conversely, focusing on serving other people, cultivates higher purpose and fulfillment. Helping others offsets the selfish and self-centered proclivities of our human nature. My contention is in the pouring ourselves out for the sake of others. We need to have the means to receive, recalibrate, and be restored. My self-care approach intends to alter these understandings to an \"altar-ed\" space of first caring for the self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Moreover, before you can fully love and be in relationship with others, you must first love you. I liken this to travel on an airplane. Before departure, the airline attendants include this one rule during their oxygen instructions announcements. In the event of a decompression, an oxygen mask will automatically appear in front of you. To start the flow of oxygen, first pull the mask towards yourself. Place it firmly over your nose and mouth, secure the elastic band behind your head, and breathe normally. At this point, after you have secured first your wellbeing, you are then in a position to help anyone who needs assistance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James M.
