So true! My therapist helped me come up with a mantra for those moments when I get pulled into conversations that drain me: "I am generous, but I am not limitless." It reminds me that being kind and caring is my default... but I don’t always have the capacity for everything people want from me. And that’s okay. 😊 Thanks for writing and sharing!
Dear Cory, thank you for giving me clarity on this. I live with this exact issue right now. That’s me, nodding along but continuing to try to work on what I’m doing, but subconsciously giving up space in my head and personal energy so I don’t feel bad for not listening.
Thank you so much for the soft declines, they’re perfect!🙏🏾
Simple action but can be tricky, especially for us introverts who might have difficulty expressing ourselves with the fear of sounding rude. Good reminder to prioritize our energy, because like you said, it is certainly finite.
Dear Cory,
Thank you!
Love this: "Remember: your energy is finite. If you don’t choose where it flows, someone else will."
Happy for the energy to be flowing here!
Love
Myq
Thank you friend
