There is a part of me showing up lately that wants to be able to give an authentic "yes" and an authentic "no" to things. To reply in the interests of energetic abundance.
I love my job. It is physically, cognitively and emotionally demanding. This sounds bad. It isn’t. I love this.
As a very social person in a very social job, realized that I do in fact have a social battery. My social battery runs out.
Besides this, I have goals outside of my day job.
I am fortunate to be healthy. But I am at a stage where I cannot take all that for granted. This translates to mindful meal prep, exercise and sometimes heating pads and ice packs.
One 30 minute conversation with a friend could leave me depleted of spoons. Another friend actually gives me EXTRAs I didn’t have.
This sounds selfish. We are talking survival here. There’s all kinds of privilege. The friend pushing my boundaries has time and financial privilege I don’t.
A resounding yes! So glad you're here. I am often amazed at how depleted I will feel, and then I do something I love, and all my energy comes surging back. It's something I pay attention to now in a different way. I am so grateful for your comment that offers such clarity!
This description of the inner pull between awareness/denial, truth/hiding, and other challenges throughout will bring my characters more fully to life and draw dialogue out from inside, not just talk. Confirms why I wear a yin-yang ring to remind me about life.

I love this! And it does really make things clear to check in with ourselves and helps me find that "energetic abundance." Great phrase!
This really spoke to me.

I love it! JOMO vs FOMO...joy triumphs over fear.....it's a radical reorientation to life, isn't it?
Thank you! Yes!
