☕️☕️☕️☕️Love this analogy!☕️☕️☕️☕️

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, causing you to spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? ""Because someone bumped into me!!!" Nope. You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup will spill out. So...when life shakes you (and it WILL), whatever is inside you will come out. The big question is "'What's in MY cup?" When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, appreciation, love, acceptance? Hostility, anger, judgement, harsh words and exhaustion? Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. Especially right now, it's so important to make sure we fill our cups with the good stuff - forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness and love for others.

Cheri’s Connection Corner - The Benefits of Walking 🚶🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

...See more Good day Healthy Living Cupsers🚶🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Walking is an exercise you can do anywhere and it doesn’t require special equipment. It is one of the easiest ways to get active.  The benefits of walking are many!  Where to walk is a serious consideration depending on weather! Inside you can use a treadmill or indoor spaces to walk such as malls or walking tracks (here where I live hockey rinks have an indoor walking track).  Some prefer outside irregardless of temperatures. There are beautiful scenery and hiking trails and community parks that are beyond spectacular!  Who are the walkers in this community?? If you don’t currently walk would you like to start??  Where do you enjoy walking? What are your walking goals as how many times did how long to walk? (If new start small and increase over time!)  Do you prefer to walk alone or with others? Do you listen to music 🎶or podcasts when you walk?  Do you track your walking on an app or do you walk at set times of the week or steps daily?   Do you feel better walking as part of your day to day?

...See more Good day beautiful Heathy Living Cupsera! 🙌🙌💕💕 There are days when your healthy living you may stumble and be in need of motivation. Maybe you have a mindset that stuck and not a growth mindset.  Sometimes in life you need to twist how you think about things. The motivation you need and desire is in how you think about what you need to do to achieve your healthy living goals …, more water, more movement, more sleep, more vegetables, more protein etc … To build a growth mindset you need to think differently and be more positive and most of all more forgiving towards yourself when you struggle.  What motivates you in your healthy living journey??  Would this switch help you to be in better frame of mind??  Do you record your habits digitally on a device or app or write it down??  What are you most thankful so far in 2024?? 
Cheri’s Connection Corner - Habit Stacking Could Work for You
Healthy Living / by SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Last post
March 4th
...See more Good day beautiful Healthy Living Cupsers🙌🙌💕💕 Habit stacking is a method of behavior change that involves creating a list of small, manageable tasks that you can complete each day to help you reach your goals.  The best part it doesn’t take a huge time commitment you can start small and add on as you go!  Small changes over time DOES make a difference. Soo how does it work exactly?  Think about your morning what do you do when you wake up … get out of bed, brush teeth and get dressed then breakfast.  If one of your goals is drinking more water add that and STACK it after breakfast drink water. Over time it will become the new normal.  Suppose you want to move more … add it to your lunch break at work or after supper. By using a designated time and stack it …it acts as a reminder for you.  March is almost here! There are only a few weeks to Easter.  Would you like to get STACKING your healthy habits to get back on track for Easter? 🐣 How would you incorporate your habits into your daily routine ??  Do you think this is a good idea for those interested in getting into healthy lifestyle? What tips would you offer??

...See more Happy weekend 50+ Cupsers🙌🙌💕💕 It IS normal to have and experience a wide range of emotions from happy to sad to angry to frustrated to lonely to scared etc.  Emotional intelligence is the ability to manage your emotions and equally understand the emotions of others around you.  Being aware of our own feelings, and regulate how you react in various situation's are key. Empathy provides compassion for others and can help diffuse situations. Are YOU an emotional person??  How do you regulate your emotions when you are struggling ?  What helps??  Do you find it easier to cope with YOUR emotions or OTHERS emotions?  Does your connection to that person make it easier or tougher? ( for instance if it was a friend compared to a family member?)
