Fulfilling some of the needs of significant others in our lives brings us joy. Our own needs must be given priority, though. We cannot give away what we don’t have, and we have nothing unless we give sincere attention and love to ourselves. ~ Casey, Karen. Each Day a New Beginning: Daily Meditations for Women. Hazelden Publishing. Kindle Edition.
“Oxygen masks will drop down
from above your seat.
Place the mask over your mouth and nose…
make sure that your own mask
is on first before helping your children.”
Are you co-dependent?
Are you in a relationship
where two people
with dysfunctional personality traits
become worse together.
Enmeshment happens
when clear boundaries
about where you start
and where your partner ends
are not clearly defined.
Like the situation on a plane
you must have your needs met
before helping others.
We cannot give away
what we don’t have,
and we have nothing
unless we give sincere attention
and love to ourselves.
Then you’re capable
of helping another!
