Pouring From an Empty Cup?

We’ve all heard the saying “you can’t pour from an empty cup”
But are you making intentional efforts to “fill your cup”?

As a busy adult and parent you are probably filling many cups to help others.
*meeting your kids’ physical and emotional needs
*caring for your adult relationships with friends or a spouse / partner
*meeting the needs of your job
*taking care of your home

You can probably handle a lot! But don’t forget to take care of yourself.

If you have a car, you know you have to take care of it; add gas and oil, get regular maintenance...
or it won’t work for you.

It’s even more true when it comes to caring for ourselves. Self-care is not selfish .

Being intentional about incorporating things that “fill your cup” everyday means you can be at your best:
C.U.P 
Calm
Unhurried
Present
​
And be able to help fill your children’s cups.

What brings you joy?
*a warm cup of coffee or tea
*prayer or meditation time
*a walk
*a phone call to a friend
*time with your pet
*a song you love
*playing an instrument
*a warm bath
*a chapter of your book

Of course we want our kids to be kind to themselves. As caregivers, when we make time for ourselves we are modeling to our kids that self-care is important.
So, what will you do for your self-care plan?
