Because I changed, my situation changed

Think More Know Less - #57

Mani @imani_fortuna

Because I changed, my situation changed.

So many times I would ask myself “Why is this happening to me?”

“When is this situation going to change?”

Like there is some magical being listening to me and waiting for me to nicely ask to change my circumstances.

It took me long to realize that I am in control of most things that happen to me.

For the things I cannot control, I control how I let that thing affect me.

You have a LOT of power over yourself, make the choice to change.

Normalize paying attention to how your body feels before, during and after interacting with someone.

I always thought “energy levels” were a bunch of nonsense or some hippy thing.

Until I started listening and reflecting on how certain activities and interactions affect my mood and energy.

Like going for a hike with a friend to talk about goals and growth. This is a stimulating exercise even though it is physically exhausting.

Sitting in a dimly lit room with people talking gossip about others, drains my energy and makes me feel tired, bored and uninterested.

I don’t think it’s rude to not hang out with people who tax your energy, you’re doing yourself a favour :)

Stadiums are a great study of how little space people take up and how much space their cars need

Cars are the worst form of transportation in terms of area density/humans transferred.

Not to mention the environmental cost of moving said humans.
