People who wonder if the glass is half empty or full miss the point.The glass is refillable

“People who wonder if the glass is half empty or full miss the point.
The glass is refillable” – Simon Sinek

How to ensure you refill your glass?  Find order in your morning by
creating a routine and that routine may start the night before.  For
example, I lay out my gym and/or swim bag the night before making sure
my air pods are charged, my clothes are laid out, my bag as a towel,
clean clothes if needed and any accessories that I may use during my
workout.  Then my alarm is set for the same time every single day.
Creating a sleeping and waking routine.  Then I can wake up, go use
the restroom, do my morning motivational post, weight in, brush my
teeth and get going to the gym and/or pool.  I set my morning up for
success.

Working out makes me feel better and when I’m done and getting ready
for work I’m wide awake and focused on the day ahead.  I’m filling my
own cup for success.  When I execute my routine to my best ability for
that morning then the world shows up for me because I showed up for
myself.

Now we are all different so what works for me may not work for you.
Don’t do what I do if it doesn’t feel great to you.  Do what feels
good for you.  Swimming feels good for me but I know not everyone
likes or can swim.  Also meet yourself where you are today.  If your
goal is to run a Half Marathon, you are not going to succeed by trying
to run a Half Marathon on your first day.  You are not going to
succeed if you try to start at your goal, you need to start where you
are now.  If a Half Marathon is your goal maybe start with a 10-minute
Walk/Run and build from there.  Build your routine.

Just remember when you don’t fill your own cup, when you don’t put on
your oxygen mask, first you are less capable of doing anything for the
people around you. Start each day by finding a routine that will fill
your cup.
