Is your glass overflowing or in need of a top up?

Life is busy, we run around trying to manage career, our family, seeing friends, keeping fit, the list goes on. Sometimes we run around so much that we forget to stop and think about ourselves, where am I going? How do I feel? What do I want?

Think of your life as a glass and your energy levels as the water (or wine, whichever you prefer). If you are continuously giving all your energy to others and forgetting to top it up, it will eventually run out. This is typically when you burn out, or just have that burning desire to hibernate and not see anyone or do anything for a few hours or days, so that you can recharge.

If you are constantly filling your glass up, so that it is always overflowing you will never run out, and you will always have some to share with others. If you want to give to others and be the best friend, parent or family member you can be, you need to invest in yourself first.

Set aside time for you! It may be doing some exercise taking a bath or even reading a book. Whatever it is that makes you feel revived and energised again.

How will you fill you glass up?
