Criminal Justice Evolution Podcast: Microcast Monday: Save Yourself First

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show. Thank you for listening. Please share with family and friends and give us that 5-Star Rating and Review on Apple Podcasts. A special thanks to all the first responders. Thank you for what you do everyday. It doesn't go unnoticed. Remember you are honored, cherished and loved. Keep up the great work. I struggled. I was in a dark place for a long time. I was in pain, and I masked it with alcohol.  I was contemplating hurting myself.  I finally decided to reach out and ask for help, and I am grateful I did. FHE Health and The Shatterproof Program saved my life. If you are struggling, you don’t have to stay there. We can and will help you. Reach out today at 303.960.9819. https://fherehab.com/ https://www.cjevolution.com/shatterproof/   Today I want to you to Save Yourself First. Now before you start yelling at me about your duty to protect and serve just listen to me for a minute. If you don't save yourself first how will you begin to save others? I am not talking about not doing your job as a first responder - Far from it. Saving and helping others with their others is your primary role. But I posit this:  Say you are operating at 75% mentally and physically (And you and only you know the operating level you are currently at, how do you serve and protect others to your full potential? - YOU CAN'T! I talk about this a lot because it's so important, and so many of you don't - TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST. Mentally and Physically you Must Come First You can and you will - Repeat that everyday. Please be safe and go out and conquer your day and week. www.cjevolution.com   Patrick
