Episode summary introduction:

Joining us during this journey as we showcase another song, “Everything to Everyone”.  This song appears on “Everclear’s”  October 1997 album “ So Much for the Afterglow” The song sends the message how important it is to look after ourselves first before we can be of any value to anyone else.  

 Topics discussed in this episode:

• Why do we say yes, so readily, to people in need?
• Why is it so hard to get to “no” when people are asking for help?
• Do you always feel appreciated when you help people?
• What is the balance between helping yourself and helping others?
• What are some strategies or perspectives that we can look at to keep us centered?

Walkabout takeaways:

In order to help anyone else we first have to learn to help ourselves first.  When we spread ourselves too thin we are only causing harm to ourselves. It is ok to reach out and help people but when you do think about yourself first by:

• Find your own balance to be able to help anyone;
• It is Ok to say No, look after yourself first; 
• You really can’t be everything to everyone.
