I'm currently focusing on owning my thoughts, feelings, and actions and not taking on anyone elses. Since I've been reactive to peoples emotions, actions and energy, I've been trying to calm my nervous system down a bit. I have been so dissatisfied and judgemental of how others behave or what they say. I've been the same with myself as well. I realized...if others acted in ways i didn't prefer around me for the rest of my life, and i was simply surrounded by it forever, what would have to give? Would I be dissatisfied my entire life? Would I give others or my own thoughts permission to control me in this way? No. Eventually I would come to the conclusion that I can no longer let it impact me to the point that I cannot find peace or joy or empowerment. So what is the point of waiting any longer? Why should I need it to stop before I be and feel these things? If anyone has any insight or tips or you'd just like to talk about your own personal experience, please feel free to do so! I'd appreciate it very much.

Do you know what it feels like to have a very caring, deep connection with your self?
