We often put others first, forgetting to check in with our self and observe how we are really feeling.

When we are overwhelmed, with the abundance of everyday tasks and others asking a lot from us, it eventually takes its toll and we can become run down.

Taking time to check in with our self, each day, helps us cope better. Filling our own cup first, allows us to give from a place of love.

An ‘everyday check-in’, can be a short moment over your first beverage of the morning. With it cupped between your hands, close your eyes, take three deep, slow breaths in and out.

Maybe you can smell your drink, you find it relaxing and smile to yourself as you notice the silence or the sounds, that surrounds you.

Without feeling guilty, you take your first sip and actually enjoy it. Name three things you are grateful for, before you begin your day in the usual way.
