Perhaps with the New Year upon us it is time to reinvent your cup. What gave you fuel last year may not do the trick this year. Maybe last year you were a runner and this year your body is crying out for Pilates and swimming or yoga and walking. Perhaps last year you were all about a particular TV show that you no longer care about and are instead hungering for a good book. We grow, we change, we evolve…so make this month about listening to the quiet whisper deep inside of you that knows just what you need.
Sit down today for 3 minutes, yes just 3 minutes and ask yourself, What would fill my cup today? Baking a new recipe or writing in your journal? Reading a trashy magazine or meditating? Listening to your needs is the first step of knowing how to refill your cup.
Keep a note pad handy throughout the day and jot down ideas that come to you. Perhaps this is the year you volunteer at that place around the corner or this may be just the time for you to start those music lessons. Whatever the yearnings of your heart, start getting in the habit of paying attention to them instead of ignoring or dismissing them. You are worth too much to be dismissed. And remember what I always say…Empty cup = Bitchy mama.
Happy New Year and Cheers to the new ways you will refill your cup this year!
