Fill Your Cup

Are you aware of who you are allowing to fill your cup and what they are filling it with? Are you giving your space to the right people and causes that make you feel fulfilled for giving it? Are you feeling drained of joyous energy or heavy with burdens other people dump onto you? Are there just those certain people who always seem to have something negative to say when you interact with them? How much of your valuable energy are you going to give to them in return? Which kind of energy are you sharing with others, especially those you care about most?

When we decide to fill our cup with positivity and encouragement, we are able to pour that same energy into other people's cups that they then appreciate us for sharing with them. Wouldn't we rather spread happiness and warm fuzzies to our families and friends who come to us for comfort? How we demonstrate our mindset to others effects the health and longevity of our relationships.

When you encounter others, fill them with such positivity that it becomes so contagious they want to spread it like wildfire to their people. Brush off the ideas that weigh you down and set a different pace than you are used to. Let it go when you feel like taking things personally that likely have nothing to do with you. Is this really worth your time? Do you really want it to take over your bright day like some shitty rain cloud? Wouldn't it feel so much better if you are the sunshine they love to stand in? Give other people the energy you want to feel from them. You'd be surprised at how much it will brighten your day even more when your smile makes them smile back. =)
