WELCOME TO A FULLER TEA CUP

Tea anyone.....

Life is meant to be lived, really lived; being grateful for the experience, the people, the emotions and enjoying every moment. Choosing to live my own life, and live it passionately and fully. Experiencing the gratitude and blessings as well as moments of indecisiveness and overwhelm. The things that inspires us to strive for "better" in this crazy world. For me "better" is always with a full tea cup!

The Drive

What is it that drives us in this world? Is it a desire to be better, do better, or live the best version of us? The journey we each take, can be a roller coaster, the high and lows, but what drives us forward. I am looking to explore the "journey" here and share what I learn from my own and other peoples experiences. A fullerteacup is about seeing the cup half full and my cup of choice is a tea cup, with a strong English Breakfast! What elements contribute to the lens we see the world through - our world view and the choices we make along the way.

Gratitude

Being able to find gratitude daily is an amazing gift we can give to ourselves. Though this can be very challenging, for us to look at what we have, where we are, our experiences and find real gratitude, but it's well worth the effort. Looking at our tea cup half full, allows us to reflect and understand just how fortunate we are. More importantly we get an opportunity to share our gratitude by passing on our fortune to others, even by a simple smile, you can influence someone else's day, go on smile, it's the gift that keeps on giving!

Authenticity

Everything you say and do is advertising who you are. Speak and act with kindness, compassion, respect and love.
Carol C Miller
Being the genuine and best you, speaking honestly with your self and others, whilst remembering to be kind, that is the challenge!
How do you get the balance needed...practice, and more practice and trying again and again.
The first and hardest part is being the real you, how often are we able to honestly say we know our true self? I sometimes feel, I don't know me, if I was letting all the shields and covers down, who would I be, would I even like myself? I am who I think others expect me to be most of the time. The good girl, the peacemaker, the smooth it over girl, the finding a silver lining person.
When your with people who truely love you, there is more freedom be the real you.

Worthy

I struggle with being worthy, being enough, so this is my daily mantra:
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you ever imagined.
Sometimes I am all of those things, some days I manage just one. And some days I suffer from self doubt and imposter syndrome...where I am sure people will catch me out and I will be nothing like what they have believed me to be....
In the end, the thing to strive for, is catching myself before I get onto the "super highway of crazy". Stop, check in, consider why I am feeling this way and look for an opportunity to re-tell the story...cause let's be honest it's a story I am telling myself, and I get the chance to re-do it, whenever I like!
