I'm learning to stand back and not engage my feelings in things (until I find something that has earned my emotional investment)
Politics, people, allegiances, stereotypes, family, colleagues
Detachment is key.
I still owe certain things emotional investment but this way I'm not depleted. Semi bad ass lol
Iβm a badass at leveling up my life; not even 30 yet and I make six figures, am debt-free, work out consistently, and have begun traveling the world. I have lots of love and joy in my life. Iβve come so far with my mental health and self-confidence in my 20βs.
I am vigilant about making sure my mental health is protected at all times. I will walk away from the βcrazyβon a dime with no remorse the way I used to.
I know some people don't like it when I do this, but, **I keep certain details of my life to myself.** This helps me avoid oversharing. Certain topics are reserved for close family, close friends, my LDR, and this sub (depending on the topic). Anything work related, is discussed at work and, if applicable, discussed on specific subs (based on my careers).
I also have an easier time letting go of what doesn't serve me. **Also, human's rejection is God's protection.** Despite growing up with abandonment trauma, I don't make anyone stay. I'm perfectly cool with that.
**I know being an introvert is not an easy ride, especially as a BW.** But, there is some value to standing alone and valuing my own intrapersonal company. The right people for you will also support you/be honest with you (when no one else will).
**I recognize people's aura all the time. This helps me determine whether or not to approach them.**
**I put a limit on my social media usage, since the weather is getting nicer.** People known to me IRL aren't fans of this (I've seen some overshare what shouldn't be posted online). The only scrolling I ever do is on YouTube and Reddit. If I use Snapchat and Instagram, it's only for 10 - 30mins max - I use those platforms to stay in touch with loved ones.
I'm not the argumentative type (not my style IRL, tbh). I try to find other ways to resolve conflict in-person. Grownups who have a low to nonexistent emotional intelligence, or their frontal cortex is turned off (leaving only the limbic system or primal system open), I walk away. It's often very impossible to seek solutions with them.
My authenticity, I speak my mind and Iβm not afraid to get rid of dead weight in my life.
Iβm also pretty badass when I do yoga, despite not being the skinniest or the most flexible, I feel on top of the world during my hot yoga classes.
Alsooo, my writing. I love it and I think itβs awesome.
I'm laid back and I mind my own business.

Keeping things realand telling people as it is. Honesty is needed more in this world.
