Filling Your Tea Cup
Simple Tips To Fill Your Own Cup
Do you ever think "I wish there were more hours in the day to fit in time for myself?"
You’re not alone.
But making that time is just as important as brushing your teeth in the morning. We all need that balance in our life to fill our own teacup and everyone has different way to fill their teacup, one thing that may work for you may not suit someone else. Finding that activity that takes you to that happy place can make the difference from a restless night’s sleep to that amazing jump out the bed the next day, the sun is shining let’s embrace the day to the fullness.
When your teacup is getting low your body goes into fight or flight mode, the natural reaction for your body is to go quick I need food to replenish you fast, this raises cortisol levels in the body playing with nervous systems. If we do something small or large each day or every few days that tops that teacup with delicious sweet herbal tea our body stays in a calm mode, our muscles are softer, our skin is vibrant, our eyes full of vitality, but most of all we have energy to do what we want to do without feeling we haven't got time or with guilt.
Here are a few of my favourite things to do to keep my herbal tea cup balanced.
Walking or doing something in nature alone or with company.
Listening to music.
Photography, it brings me into the moment of the present.
Cooking & sharing it with other people.
A massage is blissful, I have a few different practitioners I like to use depending on my needs. Leah at Whole Green Pepper for that long slow whole body treat, or the ladies at Zen within Wellness Centre can put you in total Zen state of mind.
It doesn't have to cost the earth as long as it replenishes that teacup.
I will share other practitioners, workshops and tips in this space.
