The past couple of days have, understandably, been a bit stressful and I could be forgiven for not having followed my daily meditation practice or written anything by hand. But it's, quite possibly, at times like these that the most benefit is to be gained from such things.

@colinwalker There is deep truth in that. All too often, the things we need most are the hardest to do.

@patrickrhone @colinwalker I heard someone describe it as "adjust your own mask first." If you aren't doing the minimum for yourself, you won't be at your best for others, so if you're taking care of everyone else you need to try harder for yourself.

@Verso @patrickrhone Hmm, I like the sound of that. It has a definite ring of truth to it.

@colinwalker I try to remember it for that reason. If I'm a disaster I'm certainly not doing YOU any good either.

@colinwalker @Verso Yep. Much agreement. I call it the life mask rule.
