This is your reminder to do your best this week to carve out some time for yourself to do something that genuinely makes you happy and helps you feel more fulfilled and full. Not something for profit, not something for work, not something for somebody else, but something specifically designed and intended for you to take a break from the real world and enjoy the present moment.
I'm a sucker for a good sunset, so whenever I get the chance, I'll take that time to find a way to see one. These are two pictures of two different sunsets this past week. One of them I saw outside my window here at the office, so took a break from editing and I rushed outside to just stare at it until it fully set. And another is one at a lake just walking distance from my place. As soon as I noticed, the color shifting in the clouds, I stopped what I was doing to walk down the street and just enjoy it until it fully set.
Just a very simple thing that did nothing but remind me how beautiful life and nature can be and forced me to better practice what I preach; to take that moment to pause and just be present, even if it's for just a few moments.
If you do anything specific this week or did so last week, please let me know down in the comments as it might inspire myself, and anyone else reading, to take that aligned action to better fill their own cups.
