This Is Important

Fill Your Own Glass

'Fill it up!'

“Remember

to take care of yourself.

You can’t pour

from an empty cup”

SELF-CARE

is just as important

as caring for ourselves physically.

We need to

rest and refresh and ‘refill’ mentally,

as well as physically.

This is not selfish

but a very real necessity!

We cannot look after others

if we are not looking after ourselves.

This is where balance

is vital and needed.

When we ‘fill our own cup’ through self-care,

we will have more energy and compassion,

and we will be able to give

more of ourselves

to those we love and care for.

For our ‘cup’ to overflow

with positivity and abundance,

we need to set self-care as a priority

every single day.

This is important for us to remember

because by doing this,

we are also respecting ourselves.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
