As the holidays and all the hustle and bustle they bring are quickly approaching, it is important to remember to take time for YOU! As we prepare for the celebrations and all they include we can lose sight of the importance of taking care of ourselves. We are busy serving those around us by decorating, preparing food, buying gifts, and nurturing those we care about. It is important to remember, you cannot pour into others from an empty cup! Make sure to schedule time into your day for your self-care and do something that fills your cup and lights you up.
How will you fill your cup?
For me, I will start with a nice cup of tea, warm and soothing. I will grab my journal and have a seat in my comfy chair, perhaps my dog Simba (pictured above) will join me. Then, I will reflect on the accomplishments I’ve had this year. What I have learned as a businesswoman, the personal and professional growth I have experienced, the people who have come into my life, and all that I have learned. There is so much I am grateful for this year, so much. Next, I will identify the goals and dreams I have for 2021, making my plan on how I will achieve them. It is important to have that vision and plan in front of you if you want to accomplish them. Keep your eye on that vision and make them your reality.
I hope you too will find time to check in with yourself, appreciate what you have achieved, and plan your steps into your next season.
Here’s to your amazing life!
