Remember to Fill Your Own Cup Regularly

Hi beautiful people,
First of all, may I offer my sincere apologies for the break in sending you all my newsletter?

There are a few reasons for this, including a bereavement (not mine but my lovely VA who puts this together for me).

Anyway, to this week’s newsletter!!

Some of you may have already put your Christmas trees and decorations up and others may be wondering when you are going to fit it all in with everything else you have to do!!

It seems that at this time of year our ‘To Do’ lists multiply a thousand- fold!!

And we are in danger of really neglecting ourselves and our own well-being and self-care.

We start to empty our cup… and it becomes emptier by the day until, finally, there is nothing in it, it’s dry!!

Please DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO DO THAT.

And please don’t allow your cup to become so empty before you do anything about it!!

I invite you instead, to refill your cup on a daily basis until it’s overflowing!! It’s much better to serve from a cup that’s overflowing than one that’s almost empty.

Think of ways you can fill your own cup daily.

Here are a few suggestions:

Switch your mobile phone off!! Giving yourself a break from social media will help you to refill your cup. It will also give you much needed time.
Go for a walk in nature. Nature is wonderful for helping you to recharge and to reconnect and ground yourself.
Read a book that doesn’t require you to think!! (I’ve been doing a lot of this this year and I find it very relaxing)
Meditate. There are so many benefits to meditate, Do your own research.
Listen to inspirational talks/podcasts. I do this every day!!
Start a gratitude journal if you don’t already have one and if you have one, make sure you practice every day
Be mindful of who you are spending time with. Some people will lift you up and others will bring you down.
Be mindful of your self-talk and words. Everything is energy.
Exercise; yoga, pilates, Tai Chia; anything that makes you feel good
Have fun!! Watch a comedy show (I love watching, Would I Lie to You). Laughing releases your endorphins and makes you feel good.

It’s time to pay attention to how you’re feeling now.

Ask yourself, how empty is your cup?

And whatever you do, make sure you are refilling it EVERY DAY!!

Your choice, as always.

Sending you so much love from my heart to yours.

I started life coaching with Lynn after I found myself in a situation that really brought home to me how little I valued myself and how low my self-esteem was. I was at an all time low and couldn’t find a way out; I couldn’t stop the incessant negative self talk and self criticism going on in my head and I was struggling to keep a lid on my emotions.

For me, the healing process started with some inner child work, releasing years of pain, hurt, humiliation and a lack of acceptance that I had felt when I was growing up in the 1970s as a child identifying as gay. Although the releasing was an emotional and painful process, it also felt positive and healing as I worked with my inner child and my emotions.

With Lynn’s support and guidance, I worked through coaching exercises that helped me to release repressed anger and resentment, I was able to let go of self punishment and guilt and learnt how to be more gentle with myself. I began to be much more aware of my thoughts, to understand how I could change them and gently direct my mind more positively. As my coaching journey continued, I started to challenge beliefs that I held about myself, I started to understand myself and my emotions more and I started to be my true self more. Along my journey, I had a huge realisation about acceptance, about accepting myself and others. I’ll never forget the feeling I had in that week of coaching; I was on cloud nine, it felt like such a gift of understanding about myself and my relationships and the understanding it brought me has been life changing!

Life coaching wasn’t an easy journey but it was so, so, worthwhile. I really do feel that my coaching journey has given me the chance at a happier future. In just 6 months, I felt in a much stronger place than I could ever remember being in. Coaching brought me some deep self realisations and gifts; lessons and understanding about my behaviours, my thoughts, feelings and emotions that will stay with me always. Without the coaching I would have undoubtedly remained trapped in the same destructive cycles in my relationships with others.

My self-development is still a work in progress, but coaching with Lynn gave me the tools and solid basis to continue with my own healing and my own inner work.

Throughout my coaching Lynn was a real guiding light through some very dark places. Lynn was a great listener, clearly seeing straight to the root of the issues that I needed to work on. Lynn was so supportive and encouraging in helping me to work through my past hurts and emotions and I can’t thank her enough for the positive changes she has helped me to make in my life. Lynn has an amazing gift for healing and her coaching and “Heal Your Life” work really does heal at the very deepest level.
