6 ways to fill your cup when you’re feeling depleted…
I hope you’re having a fantastic weekend and overflowing that cup of yours, because remember — self care is not selfish! Filling up your own cup is not only an investment in your well-being but also a foundation for a balanced and fulfilling life.
Imagine your energy as a cup. To pour into others and navigate life, your cup must be replenished regularly! Here are some simple yet powerful ways to ensure your cup stays full this week:
Prioritize Sleep: Quality sleep is the ultimate recharge. Aim for 7-9 hours of restful sleep each night to enhance mood, cognitive function, and overall health. Refer to last weeks email on tips for better sleep.
Nourish Your Body: Fuel yourself with nutrient-packed foods (greens, fruits, veg, nuts & seeds, beans & legumes, eggs, etc.) that support your physical and mental well-being. Balanced nutrition is important to sustaining energy and vitality.
Move Your Body: Exercise is an instant mood booster. Whether it's a walk, stretching, dancing, or joining GloGirl Feel-Good Fitness classes, make it a consistent part of your routine.
Practice Mindfulness: Incorporate moments of mindfulness into your day. Examples are meditation, deep breathing, or simply being present in the moment (reducing screen time), these practices can help reduce stress and enhance mental clarity.
Set Boundaries: Learn to say 'no' when needed and establish healthy boundaries that support YOU. Prioritize your time and energy for activities/people that align with your well-being and values.
Engage in Hobbies: Make time for activities you love and enjoy. Whether it's reading, cooking/baking, nature walks, or sports engaging in hobbies provides a sense of joy and fulfillment.
Remember, self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity.
By consistently filling up your own cup, you not only elevate your personal wellness but also empower yourself to give more to others and thrive in all aspects of life.
Prioritize your well-being - it's the foundation for a life well-lived.
