❗️ DAILY REMINDER ❗️

✖️Serve others from the overflow✖️

You may have this innate feeling to give yourself. Whether this be at work, at home, or with friends.

🔸You just know how it feels to need help and receive it (or not), so you want to be there for others when you can.

Completely understandable.
Completely relatable.

🔸However, when our cups are low and we are feeling stressed out, self-care is the first thing that goes out the window. It becomes hard to bring our full selves to the table.

🌱Self-care isn't self indulgence, its self preservation.

♦️How full is your cup right now? Have you been telling yourself that you’re just fine, because you’re used to saying that, when really you've been feeling low? Have you been putting up a front for others, so that they don't worry about you? ♦️

♦️Take care of yourself first.

Others may have cups that are bigger or small than yours. It may take less or more to fill their cups. But, they owe it to themselves to fill their own cups.

♦️Remember to give of you, only what is overflowing.

✨To fill your cup, do something that you love, something that makes you better:

🔸Reconnect with your senses
🔸Reconnect with childhood loves (drawing, playing music, sports, nature, etc.)
🔸Listen to your body. (Is your body or mind trying to get your attention? Do you need to slow down? Do you need to speed up?)
🔸Find pause in your day from work, school, the to-do lists, and expectations. 
Let those fall away, leaving space for clear thinking, inner awareness and inner calm.
🔸Create a daily self-care/replenishing routine

🕊Cultivate the habit of checking how full your cup really is. You might be surprised by how low your reserves have gotten.

❗️ DAILY REMINDER ❗️

🔹Courageously choose everyday to do something uncomfortable, that will make you better. Growth hides behind discomfort.

♦️Start with the voice in your head♦️

🔹Personally, I find it hard to do things that I want to do/try, because the voice in my head tries to convince me that I'm not good enough, outside opinions matter, or reminds me of the shame I've felt from making previous mistakes.

🔹In times like these, its helpful to think back to your past and remember all the things you've accomplished when you thought you couldn't do it.

♦️I'll be honest, it's not easy♦️

🔹It takes a lot of courage to leap without being certain that you will land safely.
However, over time, it becomes clear that fear and worry have a bigger bark than it does have bite.

✨We have everything we need to succeed, we just have to search for the courage to face fear head on. It starts within. ✨

Courage brings change.
Comfort brings stagnation.
The difference between change and stagnation is courageous effort.

So, choose courage over comfort always! 🕊

- Express yourself unabashedly.
- Let go of things that you've been holding on to, for far too long.
- Start that new business venture.
- Ask that person out.
- Give your all in workout regardless of who's watching.
- Seek out your limits, and surpass them.

The you that you are today, isn't your final version. It takes courage to see what you truly are capable of. It takes courage to grow. 🌱

❗️ DAILY REMINDER ❗️

Be Kind To Your Mind 🕊

🔸Typically, we might say we are fine when the truth is that we're fed up, exhausted, or even freaking out.

🔸When we go through the motions or don't express how we feel, we miss out on a change to connect for real.

🔸Remember there is nothing wrong with who you are and what you are feeling.

✨Ways to Boost Awareness about Mental Health and Improve Your Own:

- Frequently check in with yourself and ask yourself how you are doing and what you need (Be honest)
- Use and in your posts to be part of the online conversation
- Volunteer your time/Do random acts of kindness
- Practice active listening with others
- Stay active
- Make social connection a priority, especially face-to-face
- Get some rest, you deserve it

Never forget, you matter!
