How to Fill Others’ Cups Without Emptying Yours
Manage episode 414070754 series 2560645
Chances are you’ve heard the phrase “you can’t pour from an empty cup”. We often hear it used metaphorically to discourage one from trying to give more to others when you already feel depleted or exhausted yourself. But is it possible to strike a balance between taking care of yourself and supporting others, even when you are feeling drained? What are the risks or drawbacks of prioritizing others’ needs over your own when you are feeling “empty?” What are the drawbacks of NOT helping others even though you are feeling overwhelmed?
Today, we explore how to show kindness, generosity, or support to others, despite your own challenges or limitations, and how doing so may even help you refill your cup!
