Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others.
He's so ugly he should have to wear an oxygen mask.
If your oxygen mask drops down, it's time to take a breather!

In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. The same tactic is necessary on terra firma. There's no way of sustaining our children if we don't first rescue ourselves. I don't call that selfish behavior. I call it love.

When it comes to women, get your life together first. Put on your own oxygen mask first. Figure out who you are. Mature. And then go find somebody to share that life with.
Taking care of yourself is being there for your kids, like how on a plane, they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first.

That's about 90 percent of my theological life - radical self-care. Put your own oxygen mask on first. I watch the self-talk that goes through my mind, and if I am being critical with myself, I shake myself out of it.
I used to fall into the trap of thinking that taking care of my husband and kids was more important than taking care of myself. Now I have a new attitude: You know when you're on an airplane and the manual tells you to put on your oxygen mask first and then help the person next to you? I feel the same way about my health.
Putting your well-being first - like putting your oxygen mask on before you help the person next to you - that really benefits all your relationships.
Make sure you have your own mask on, before helping others with theirs.
