Mama Needs a Refill

A retreat attendee paints her cup with a reminder we all need...Believe.

Today was the second of the Mama Needs A Refill mini-retreat series: The Mental Cup. Six women gathered to unwind, reflect, connect, and refill.

With all the planning and preparation that goes into this, the fact that I get so much out of giving these retreats, is just icing on the cake. I may be the facilitator but we are all the teachers, reaping the benefits of everyone’s wisdom.

We shared on what drains and fills our cups. Many of us readers we found books a great way to mentally refill. All mothers we found the daily chores of house duties to often be draining and overwhelming.

With all the wisdom circling the room it was clear no matter how you choose to refill your cup or how it gets emptied, it all starts with believing in yourself. Believing we are worth it and discovering everyone is better for it when we create time for ourselves. The added icing to the cake (who wouldn’t want cake without it?) is knowing we are not alone.
