Coaching people with Disabilities ~ Developing Life Skill Awareness : How do you fill your cup?

It is often said, what you fill your cup with usually spills out.

So, I'm just wondering, who fills your emotional cup? how do you keep that cup filled with positivity, encouragement and support? How often do you need a refresh, top up or refill? Do you reach empty and say..."Ah, great that was just what I needed for today?

Taking care of yourself = keeping your cup full.

If you don't do things to keep your cup full, you will have nothing to give or share with others.

As we continue forward, pouring out of our cup to take care of everyone and everything around us, and notice that dry, cracked feeling at the bottom of our cup or seeing It’s bone dry, lets realise empty cups lead to burnout and breakdown. So before we get all angry and frustrated and resentful, we need to be strong enough to say, enough is enough

It’s our responsibility to take the time to do what feeds our soul – first.

When we do this, the world won’t fall apart. People won’t hate us. People won’t think we incompetent losers. People won’t think we selfish.

When we do this, we happier. We have more energy to care for others. We calmer. Our body feels better. Our mind is clearer. People want to be around us because we giving off good, positive energy.

So the more we do for ourselves, the more we can do for others. It’s one of Nature’s laws.

Speaking from my own personal, self interest: Please go out and fill your own cup. I, along with those close to you, will be glad you did.
