Take Time To Fill Up Your Bucket
This week, my son has been learning about filling up his bucket at school...he's in grade 3!!
Every day after school, he asks, "Mom, did you fill up your bucket today?" and then continues to ask my daughter and husband the same thing.
I love the reminder because I've been putting more energy into my work, and the reminder to slow down and do a check-in with myself (and my energy level) has been needed.
One of the days, I asked him, "What happens if your bucket has holes in it?"
What an eye-opener that was...I realized I needed a shift in perspective and to find a better balance during the day.
For me, it's been a week of getting back into routine (after the winter break). So today, the kids and I plan to watch a movie this afternoon. I've been working into the afternoons and feel like I haven't been as present with them as I'd like. So, some major snuggles are in order!!
But before they get home, I plan to take a walk...the sun is out today, and it will be nice to get some fresh air.
So my question for you today is...
Have you filled your bucket today?
