You can't pour from an empty cup. So I ask you today, what are you doing to refill your cup? How exactly are you pouring into yourself? What are you doing to make yourself a priority?
We all find ourselves busy. Life never seems to really slow down. And let's face it, most of us wouldn't know what to do with ourselves if we weren't going all the time. The trick is to not let the busy wear you down.
What brings you joy and when is the last time you did just that? If you're not pouring into yourself daily or at the very least weekly, then I'm fathom a guess you are inching closer and closer towards burnout. Pouring into yourself doesn't have to cost a lot or take up a lot of time. Consider listening to your favorite podcast or turning on your favorite music on your way to work. Call a good friend to check in and catch up on your way home. Treat yourself to your favorite beverage. Give yourself permission to take a longer than normal shower. Head to bed an extra 15 mins early to catch up on a good book or write in your gratitude journal. Do things that are good for your soul.
In addition to pouring into yourself on the daily, be sure you go the extra step to do things that spark a light in you. What do you wish you'd have more time to do? Make the time! If you don't make yourself a priority, who will?
I challenge you moving forward to continue to fan the flame that lights the spark inside of you. Continue to pour into yourself in both little ways daily and in bigger ways that feed your soul. You deserve it. You are worth it.
