178. How to Fill Your Own Cup So You Can Fill the Cup for Others

When your cup is empty, it's impossible to keep filling the cup for others.

But how can we fill our own cup when we have sooo many responsibilities to take care of others, from aging parents to young children to siblings to colleagues and clients who depend on us?

A recovering people pleaser, it felt really uncomfortable to even prioritize myself at all. Nevermind put myself first.

Here’s the thing.
