You are in charge of your own energy. Decide who you want to share it with, and how you want to feel …. Life is precious, and wasting time on things that don't matter to you is a waste of time. Who wants to waste their precious limited life-minutes by getting distracted by negativity or insignificant details? Living one's best life requires choosing what we react to and respond to, as well as being aware of the opportunities presented by each moment. It's a work in progress all the time.

Drop a 💛 if you’re open to looking at what deserves your time, energy, and attention

Christmas Eve reminder… some of the people you’ll see today and tomorrow won’t change.
And that’s okay.

You don’t have to fix them, convince them, or manage their emotions.
What is yours to choose is how you show up. What are your boundaries, your tone, your peace.

Walk into these situations grounded.
Stay connected to who you are.
Leave with your values intact.

That kind of response changes everything.

What other people think about you has nothing to do with you at all. Their opinion is just a reflection or projection of what they are thinking of themselves. Those who judge themselves harshly tend to judge others too. Those who don’t like something about themselves (could be unconscious) find it really bothers them to see it in others.

At the end of the day, what others think of you is simply not in your control. So don’t let it, or the worries about it, control you! Give yourself permission to stop caring what others think about you. It is liberating!!

There are some things in life that will happen, and you will have to just let them go, without having answers to your questions. We won’t always know the reason for everything. We won’t always know every answer to every question. And people won’t always be honest with us, or even themselves. But you cannot torture yourself with figuring everything out - there can be reasons that start in childhood for someone’s behavior. Sometimes, you just have to let it go. Because once you understand that “figuring it out” is less important than your freedom, you will have peace of mind. And your peace of mind is more important than any question you have.

Reliability.

Not closeness.

Who do you depend on?
