You Can’t Pour from an Empty Cup

I am not going to lie - I have been feeling super duper stressed and overwhelmed these past few months.

I typically pride myself on handling difficult situations well - I mean I survived medical school and residency, right? 🩺 - but without any opportunity to relax or unwind since the pandemic (since the kids are around ALL. THE. TIME. now), it’s been especially tough...

Thankfully COVID numbers in Los Angeles have dropped a little recently, and so my parents are now more comfortable seeing the kids. And actually took them for the long weekend...!!!

So my husband and I have spend the last few days on #staycation - getting take out from wherever we want ; watching movies in the middle of the day; and taking long leisurely walks with the dogs ... Not having to rush anywhere or worry who is getting into what every minute of every day has been amazing and a huge burden off my shoulders.

I feel recharged and literally like a new person (Peter can attest!) ❤️ And now I understand more than ever the importance of refilling your own cup before tending to others’.

What did you do over the weekend? How are you recharging and refilling your cup...? ☕️
