Caring for others is lovely

If you're a Carer or Empath, please remember to fill your own cup first... and put on your oxygen mask to ensure you're alive first before helping others. It's too easy to keep giving and putting others in front of yourself and your needs... But if we don't take care of ourselves, we are at risk of burnout and/or having some kind of physical or mental health issue developing. Caring for others is lovely By Michelle Morris 24/07/2024 It's great to be a giver It's wonderful to care for all But unless you take of yourself You'll be heading for a fall Caring for others is lovely Being an Empath is a gift But if our cups are left to empty We can fall into an abyss Health and wellbeing issues Can creep in and affect our mood We can't pour from endless cups There's a need for balance to the good You have to put on your oxygen mask Breathe deeply and remain alive and thriving You have to fill up your own cup with joy And remember you're here to feel alive Caring for others is lovely Being an Empath is a special art But remember that you're also important Don't let your Light dim into Darkness The more you fill your own cup The better you fit that oxygen mask Will equip you to reach your highest potential And empower you to fulfil anything destiny asks © Michelle Morris, 2024
