Being aware
of who you really are is the very start of inner peace, health and happiness.
You are not your job, your success or failure, your status, your wealth, or
your emotions. Please always remember you are born with the love energy from
Creator Source. To discover your true self and live it out is the best thing
you could ever do for yourself and for the world. Here I am to inspire you to
cleanse your own cup and fill it with pure love energy from Creator Source. I assure you that you would be perfectly peaceful, healthy and happy if every cell in your body is awakened to love energy. All
depends on when you are genuinely sincere about this.
The below is
a good article about the importance of filling your cup first. I hope that you
benefit from it.
Are you one of life's born givers? I suspect you are. And, much
as you get joy from lifting up and loving the people around you, I also bet
that sometimes you can get depleted, tired or resentful, or feel just a teensy
bit taken for granted. If that sounds like you, then I have something for you
today. How can life's natural givers find that elusive balance of give and
take?
Firstly,
please know that dialling down our natural instinct to please people is not
about us becoming selfish biiiiatches, it's much more about knowing that when
we consciously redress the balance, we actually have more to give but it comes
from a different place - a place of service, not a place of guilt or
resentment. So much better!
A
concept I really admire on this is from author and speaker Lisa Nichols:
Don't
keep serving people and giving, giving, giving from your cup. If you do that
your cup gets empty real quick. Cue resentment, fatigue and depletion.
You should fill your cup first. (You need what's in your cup. Need.) So you
fill your cup, with things that replenish you. That might be exercise, or
silence, nature, cross-stitch, bedtime stories, baking, boxing, colouring-in,
clearing out, skiing or snoozing.
So
you consciously fill your cup with things that lift your spirit and energise
your body. And then you fill it a little more until it's literally overflowing.
And
then you joyfully give to everyone else from the overflow. You give from the
saucer, not the cup. Beautiful, yes?
When
we keep giving from our own cup, we are giving away what we actually need. When
we serve from the overflow we are giving from a place of abundance. The way we
serve others and the world is elevated from that place. We have much more to
give, and the supply is more stable. It comes from a place of plenty and not
shortage, generosity rather than resentment.
Figure
out what and who are your cup-fillers. Where do you find engagement, love,
energy, support, and feel your cup filling? What elevates and replenishes you
and leaves you ready to give with abandon? Where do you find yourself lost in
the flow of the moment? When does time disappear? Which people leave you
feeling high? What stimulates you? Where are you when you feel the knot of
tension in your shoulders unwind? Who makes you belly-laugh?
