A new skill I’m trying to acquire and develop. Having a bit more intentionality in areas where I find myself just bringing the bare minimum energy required. There really shouldn’t be an excuse for conserving energy or being able to find a way to remap the way for energy to be returned in settings where I usually end up feeling drained. The feeling of being drained is usually because of energy being consumed by my defense mechanism of a situation that I don’t like, is stressful or are fearful about.
My challenge is more in social settings and relationships so my focus has been being more open and responsive in my environment. Being more open and giving in social interactions, having more awareness and empathy. I’ve noticed my low-key guardedness going away and it’s been having an overall positive and beneficial response.
