I've been thinking a lot about filling up our cups lately, especially after writing my latest newsletter.
So I thought I'd share a few of the little things that help me fill mine up.
A proper cuppa (preferably while it's still hot 😂), getting outside for some fresh air, having a good laugh, a little quiet time and making space for the things I enjoy.
But there's one thing I always come back to when I really need to refill my cup… self-healing. It probably won't surprise you that this is my absolute go-to. One of the reasons I began my Reiki journey was to be able to heal myself.
Sometimes I need to stop, take a breath, bring my attention back to myself and give myself the same care and energy that I so often give to everyone else. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Self-healing is my reminder to pause, reconnect and check in with what I need. Not what everyone else needs from me, or what still needs ticking off my to-do list. Just me. And no, I don't always get it right. I'm human too! 😂
But I've learnt that filling up my cup doesn't have to mean booking a day off, escaping for a weekend or doing something extravagant. Sometimes it's about the little things, and sometimes it's about making that intentional time to care for myself.
Because we can't pour from an empty cup forever, can we?
So, I'd love to know…
What helps you fill up your cup? And do you have something you always come back to when you need a little reset?
