We cannot control the vast majority of what happens out in the world and outside of ourselves. 
We cannot control other people’s emotions or reactions, and trying to do so is crazy-making! But we do have autonomy and choice over our own internal processes and external reactions. The law of Inter-being means that our thoughts, emotions, and actions ripple out and affect all others in the world whether we like it or not.
So instead of me taking care of you (before myself) and you taking care of me (before yourself), I can stay in my “hula hoop”! I take care of me for you and you take care of you for me – an inter-dependence that is much more sustainable.
