We can’t pour from an empty cup

Refill to pour again

I’ve started writing about how important it is to pour into yourself before you pour into others. I connect it to the same message you hear on the airplane.  You are to put your oxygen on FIRST and then you help your family and everyone else.

When the flight attendant is talking, in my mind, I can always see a mom thinking she could quickly give her child oxygen and then help herself.  I can see her getting it done, but not having enough energy left to fix her own oxygen. BOOM! Supermom ran out of super powers, but her child is alive and now motherless.

It’s the same thing we do in life. We pour, pour, and pour more! Then we wonder why we are sad, crying, stressed, and out of ideas. We wonder why we don’t like what we see in the mirror or recognize who we’ve become.

As I continue to learn myself and heal, which is a forever journey, I often reflect. I started to break down how many parts of myself I like to give away and what it takes to refill those areas.

Refill to pour again when you hear it or see it from me, is how I talk to myself and how I would talk to a friend.

I decided a long time ago, that something from within had to change if I wanted to continue to be the woman I see in my dreams.

I knew that I was feeling empty and could not find the joy I thought I would have forever. I knew that I had to figure out what refueled my joy. I didn’t know that I didn’t know how!

Refill to pour again is me sharing my self-talk and commitment to live, learn, grow, glow, and love out loud.  Our testimonies are someone’s survival guide.

Just like on the plane, we have to give ourselves oxygen first and only then can we begin to help those around us.

Refill to pour again, we can’t pour from an empty cup

Give yourself the same love and compassion you give the world.

Make your self-talk your best talk.
