"It's good to learn how to ask for help. Most of us don't even think of doing it. For us, the asking is important and we need to remember that we may not always get it. That's okay too."
Fill your Cup First, Then Give to Others
When your cup is empty, can you pour something into the cup of another? NO. This is also true when applied to your energy. You cannot give from emptiness. Discover what it is that "fills your cup." Is it time in the garden or woods, prayer, writing or reading poetry, yoga - whatever it is that is healthy and nurturing to you personally - and make time for sipping some of it regularly. If this is difficult, get people you trust, your Personal Safety Net, to help you figure out how. Ask for and accept support. Then, when your cup is full, you can give a drink to others.
