#186 How to stop letting other people drain your energy

How much of your mental energy are you spending on people who aren’t even in the room? Their choices. Their opinions. The way they work. The way they parent. The way they teach. The way they live their lives completely differently from how you would. In this episode, I want to talk about becoming a little more chill around other people. Not because you should stop caring, stop having values or suddenly approve of everything everyone does. But because having an opinion doesn’t automatically make something your responsibility. We’ll talk about why being right can feel safe, how curiosity can exist without agreement, the difference between meaningful action and simply staying angry, and a simple practice I use to bring my attention back to my own life: Notice. Get curious. Return to yourself. Because you only have so much mental capacity - And I would really like you to have some of it left for your own life.
