It’s about time I cared about my cup

My cup has had cracks in it for so long #selfcare #fillmycup #inkmaster #silverfox #over40

2025/1/12 Edited to

In today's fast-paced world, the concept of self-care has taken on new significance. The saying 'Life gets better when you stop pouring into cups that don't pour into yours' invites reflection on our relationships and emotional investments. Self-care isn't just a trend; it's essential for maintaining mental and emotional health. Identifying what fills your cup can empower you to make more intentional choices about where to invest your energy. Step back and evaluate your connections—are they reciprocal? If you find that certain relationships deplete rather than replenish you, it may be time to reassess those dynamics. Engaging in practices that restore your well-being could include setting boundaries, pursuing hobbies, or simply taking time for yourself. This might also involve seeking out communities that uplift and inspire you. For individuals over 40, this self-reflection is particularly important as it can lead to a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment. Ultimately, making self-care a priority can enhance the quality of your life, allowing you to show up for others fully. Remember, nurturing yourself is not a selfish act; it’s a prerequisite for being able to genuinely support and care for those you love.

I have been broken recently. I have gave my all to someone who was not God and it left me empty. I was told to get therapy and to “fix what had been done to me.” Which I do think is important; however, I find my heart to feel more than I have in many years when I move the way Jesus would. So, i

you weren't crazy, you just cared too deeply.

They said you were “too much”… But really, you just felt deeply in a world that taught you to suppress your truth. You weren’t overthinking—your heart was just louder than your logic. And that’s not weakness. That’s humanity.💔➡️❤️‍🩹 #OverFeeling #SensitiveNotBroken #RecoveryRoomWithJ

if you’re anxious about starting therapy...

the first therapy session is nothing to get too anxious about! it’s just an intake of your general symptoms and how you’ve been functioning. expect to be mostly answering questions, rather than doing any deep diving into what you came to therapy for. the 2nd session is usually when that starts.
