Ever felt like your cup is not only empty but you have given your cup away to someone else and have nothing more to give?
(I see you nodding your head).
That was me recently.
We can all agree the past 18 months have been a little on the crazy side.
For me, I’ve been raising a toddler and starting a new business which is like raising a toddler too.
There’s lots of energy and time that’s required. It doesn’t do exactly what you want. You hear lots of no’s and your zonked at the end of the day and crash.
So I found myself last week realising how much of my life was revolving around work. Other values weren’t getting fulfilled.
I was perceiving that I had a life but I wasn’t living my life.
It doesn’t have to be this way. (Breathe a sigh of relief).
We don’t have one value in our life. We have a small handful of values which are important. And in order to feel fulfilled, all the cups require filling.
For me, my values are facilitating, family, finances, fitness and flying.
If I’m not training and exercising, I feel flat. If I’m not travelling, I feel life is a little dull. If I’m not investing time with my family, especially my little one, my heart doesn’t feel as full.
So, on reflection of my empty and non-existent cups, I decided that if I want my life to be different, I can change my actions to change my life.
I invested in a night away, nourishing the things that are important outside of work. I ate beautiful food with my daughter, strolled through the city with her, I even walked the streets of the city late at night just people watching while listening to music (I’m into country musics – no judgment, it fills my cup).
It didn’t take much to feel full to the brim with more to give to others as we come to the end of the year.
You don’t have to finish the year empty.
So tell me {first_name}, what can you do today to fill your cup up?
