In today's episode, Pamela and I discuss why it's so important to refill your cup, now and again. We also give a ton of examples on how to refill your cup.

It's been a season! It's been a stressful one and a burdensome year. With Covid, staying at home, Zoom work meeting, virtual school sessions, limited toilet paper, and everything in between, 2020 has been a rough one.

We're heading into Winter and it's imperative that we take time to refill our cups and refresh our souls. We have to do it in order to stay active and productive. It's vital and necessary for our mental capacity and our mental health.

Focus on things like sleep, deep meditative breaths, hydration, movement, mindful consumption, etc. And don't forget to have fun. Life should have silly moments. Blast loud music. Watch silly movies that you love. Find ways to participate in activities that are "life-giving".
