Go where you need before you go where you are needed. It is pivotal to take care of your own needs before you are able to meet the needs of others. So often we think that meeting our own needs is a selfish act. Yet, it is actually a self-less act.
If you're able to meet your own needs, you are prioritizing your mental, emotional and physical well-being. You are ensuring that when you show up for others you are operating at your highest level. As a result, you are able to stay present and focused and exhibit a greater capacity for care.
