Are You Trying To Pour From An Empty Cup?💝

🦋 I had the opportunity this year to re-learn the art of navigating the deep yearning of wanting so badly to help all of those around me in my personal life as well as my professional life, & realizing I needed to take better care of myself to show up the way I want to in my life & love & lead & nurture, etc. at the level I would like to. 
You can’t pour from an empty cup. 
🦋 If you want to make an impact, help others, love all those around you… You must first love yourself & take care of yourself first, so you can serve from an overflow.
This can be easier said than done, I know…
🦋 The first six months of this year were extremely challenging for me, & I had the opportunity to see how crucial & tricky, putting those words into practice can be.
🦋 I know first hand from experience that is not always an easy thing: self-care. Filling up your own cup, putting your oxygen mask on first in order to help those around you- that can be easier said than done when lots of challenges arise at once. 
🦋 Going through these past challenging 6 months & navigating all of these things was actually an affirmation that putting all of these tools into practice really is 100% effective, and necessary to not only survive, but thrive in life. No matter what is going on in your life- you must love yourself, care for yourself, be aware of how you talk to yourself. 

🦋 Self care can look different depending on the season of your life or what your needs are. 
🦋 My self-care changes, depending on what is happening in my life and what is required of me. The tools I was using last year weren’t doing the job this year so I needed to change it up, & they will probably change again depending on what’s required. You might want to ask yourself what it is you need right now. 
👉🏼 I invite you to ask yourself: How can you take better care of yourself this weekend? 
What is one thing you can do to nurture your soul, your mental health, your emotional health, your spiritual health? Your nervous system? 
👉🏼 I invite you to take a deep breath & schedule something that fills you up. 
💖 You deserve it
