Looking back, these past couple months have taught me so much about myself.

I used to think it was selfish to put my needs before others + because of this I went out of my way to do things for others that I did not have the energy or mental capacity for.

Don't get me wrong, people are my passion + I love helping out however I can, but I now understand that I cannot pour from an empty cup.

I now know it is not only not selfish to put myself first, but it is absolutely necessary.

How can I expect myself to be there for those I care about in the best way, if I am not caring for + taking care of myself first?

Initially when I started this journey it was about fitness, but now it is so much more than that.

Working out + reading PD is a way for me to fill my own cup, to be the best version of myself that I can be. + when my cup is filled, I am more equipped to help others.

If there is anything I want you to take out of this, it is: You cannot pour from an empty cup, no matter how hard you try too it will catch up.
