Fill Your Own Cup

Embrace Forgiveness-Restore Balance in Life

It is essential to tend to your basic needs and avoid burnout. You can build a strong reservoir of energy by "filling your own cup" with enough sleep, good nutrition, and medical care. We moms need to learn to care for ourselves as well as nurture and tend to our children.

I know that sometimes after I've orchestrated my family's breakfast and ushered them out the door in the morning, I truly forget that I have not actually eaten breakfast myself. It is essential to wake up to our lives and make our basic needs as a conscious and well-tended priority.

Taking good care of yourself will also make you a better mother, but it's also important to acknowledge that you deserve to be well-cared for, for your own sake.
