POURING INTO OTHERS SHOULD NOT EMPTY YOU

Beautiful Spirit, caring for others is a beautiful thing. However, pouring into others should not empty you.  You need your cup refilled, too!

Showing up, supporting, giving your time, energy, and heart can be exhausting.  But somewhere along the way, we have been led to believe  pouring out without a refill equals strength.  It doesn’t.  Even the most loving and strongest people need care, too!  You were never meant to run on empty while telling yourself you’re fine.  There is wisdom in taking time out.  Regrouping.  You’ve heard it here before.  Self-care is not selfishness. It’s stewardship.  You can nurture others without abandoning yourself in the process.

Let this be your reminder.  Taking time to rest is not a weakness, and slowing down does not denote failure.  Taking care of yourself is necessary!
