What fills your cup?

If I could tell my child one thing that I haven't yet told them, what would it be?
This was what my journal asked me this morning. And this is what I wrote down...

I am scared every day of messing you up.

You are so magnificent in my eyes.

But... I am not yet magnificent in my eyes.

This is my daily struggle. I am so aware of the clean slate our children come with. And I am so scared of not honoring their light in the most divine way possible.

The other day I had few hard days back to back, during which I couldn't seem to regulate my emotions. I realized once again that I had prioritized everything and everyone else instead of myself. I failed to set boundaries that prioritized my self care and mental health.

This is when I am completely out of tune with my own greatness. I do for others more than I do for myself. I stand up for others before I stand up for myself. My cup is more empty than full.

So, I made this drawing for myself. I intend to look at it daily so I can make sure to fill my cup FIRST.​

​Here's a wonderful story to teach this to your kids in kid speak.
