We know that, when our vibrational level is higher, we tend to attract better people, things and experiences into our lives.
We know that nurturing ourselves is one way to fill our buckets and raise our vibrational levels.
And still, many times, we forget to do it.
So, what’s up with that?
Most of us are raised with beliefs that work against nurturing ourselves
- Don’t be selfish.
- Work before play.
- Put others before yourself.
- Don’t be lazy
Now, there’s truth and value in all of these beliefs, but they completely overlook that we also need to take care of ourselves. To nurture ourselves. To do things that make us happy. To laugh and rest and fool around.
And that, when we don’t nurture ourselves, when we don’t fill our own buckets, sooner or later we burn out.
We need to put ourselves on our own lists. To give self nurturing the same value that we do working hard or taking care of others.
One way to do that is to make a date with yourself
- write “Shopping trip” on your calendar
- put “meditation” in your date book
- record your favorite shows
Make a firm commitment, preferably in writing, of what you’re gonna do and when you’re gonna do it to fill your bucket
and then keep that date…
