Fill Your Cup Friday

You may ask, what does it mean to fill your cup? To fill your cup means to replenish the mental, emotional, and physical energy that has been drained. It means that you need to stop and recharge those batteries of yours. Having a full cup means that we have made our physical, spiritual, and emotional needs a priority. When our cup is overflowing, we are well-rested, well-nourished, and full of energy. We have taken the time to fulfill our emotional and spiritual needs. When you make time for self-care, your cup is full and you have the energy to do the things that you love. If your self-care cup is empty, you won't have the energy for the everyday demands of life. You are more productive when self-care is applied. Here are a few tips to fill your cup:
