"You can't pour from an empty cup."
We've all heard that but easier said than done, right? Motherhood doesn't leave a lot of time for cup-filling-type activities. When we do find the time, we often also feel guilty for taking that time for ourselves. There are a million other things we COULD be doing for our kids, spouse, or house. But they aren't kidding when they say we can't pour from an empty cup. We're not at our A-game when our cup is empty either. Though our mom hat is always on top priority, we have to remember the girl underneath the hat. The one we were before kids, before houses and spouses. She needs attention. She needs love. She needs time to regroup and refresh. It's okay to take the time for ourselves. It's not selfish. In fact, it BENEFITS our children. They need us on our A-game. We are better mothers when our cups are full.
