becoming less reactive is a huge part of growth, and decreasing stress. if you let everything get you worked up, you're damaging your mind, body, and spirit.
I don’t want a soft life because I’m lazy. I want a soft life because I’ve spent most of my life in survival mode. my nervous system has been in fight or flight since childhood and now I’m choosing peace and stability.
Before I give up on people, I always make sure I really try. I always give more chances than I should, and I always try to find understanding in their actions. That way when I give up I know I'm done for good, and nobody can act surprised when they don't hear from me again
