Well, let’s talk about what it is like when your cup is empty. You will feel mentally tired and even grumpy. Others will take energy from you and drain you more and more. You will feel like the present moment is not that enjoyable; you wish things would be different because you deserve better.
I bet all of us have been there before. Human potential is unlimited; we can always put one more thing on our plate, say yes to one more person, and squeeze our resting time just a bit shorter than yesterday. Mindfulness is about being aware that, yes, we can do more, but we know that life is not all about doing but being.
When we take the time to take care of our physical and mental health, the inner world becomes beautiful and peaceful again. We can be the sunshine that enlightens and comfort others around us. We will feel lively and playful again. We will be mentally capable of handling challenges. And we will also know that the present moment is all we can have. Therefore we make it enjoyable.
Exercise, yoga, meditation, arts, skincare routines, massage, spa days, and other self-care activities are the essence of being (a human being). If you try to clear out your to-do list and then take care of yourself, I bet that moment will never come. You either carve out a specific time for self-care or never have the time to care. Put yourself on top of that to-do list; you will be doing the world a favor.
Once the priority is defined, the others will fall into its place. You will be gracefully, productively, cheerfully, and creatively get through your day, day by day.
A membership at Tea Spa is a way to be loyal to yourself, that you will take care of this only body, only mind, and only soul you have. You come first before the jobs, the chores, and the endless errands.
In the end, it’s really about love.
Love is patience. Love is kind. It is not easily angered. The list is long; you probably know the rest, but it might take a lifetime to master. When you love yourself and make your cup full, your patience and kindness flow out of you, never fail.
