Don’t Pour From An Empty Glass

YAY! We are over halfway done with the semester! It seems like yesterday was the first day of school! While it is exciting that Christmas Break is in sight, this time of the semester comes with a lot of stress, late nights, exams, job interviews, meetings, and SO much more. During this time, it can be easy to get overwhelmed.

I challenge you, when things seem overbearing, to take a break and re-charge yourself. In today’s world, we wouldn’t go to bed with our cell phones on “low battery”, so why do we continue to push ourselves when our battery is low? When our mind and bodies become tired, we aren’t giving 100% of our potential to anything we do. If we put our mental health on the back burner our classwork, friendships, and positive outlook begin to dwindle.

Here is your reminder not to pour from an empty glass. When your cup is empty, you leave nothing left to pour into things you love. Do something that makes you happy and recharge your battery!

Take a walk and admire the leaves changing on our beautiful campus. Invite your friends over for dinner and have a relaxing movie night. Call up your parents for a much-needed pep talk. Read your favorite book. Or even treat yourself to your favorite snack or coffee.

 

Take Care of Yourself!

Boiler Up!
