Rock and pebble theory ……… This is a valuable expression that highlights the ways we fill our lives, and how we can prioritise this to reflect our true values. While the original source is unknown, the idea here is that the glass jar represents your life as a whole, and the finite amount of space it contains. => Rocks are the things you value most & couldn't live without - this could be your family, friends, relationships, pets, & health. => Pebbles signify the things that add meaning to your life, but aren't essential - they might come & go, or change over time like your job, or hobbies. => Sand and water are metaphors for everything else; the little things that bring you joy but, in the grand scheme of things, aren't the most important to your overall happiness. The point is that if you fill your life with sand and water first, you won't have much space for the rocks and pebbles. Whereas prioritising your rocks ensures there's always space for the other elements - certainly more than you think😊. It’s a reminder to spend your time on the things you value most, so as to not run out of room for them by focusing on the less significant things. #Gratitude #RockandPebbles #Mindfulness
So true... however the definition for sand and water may differ with generations
