23. Your energy is precious, spend it wisely

It is important to recognize that our energy is a precious resource that should be carefully managed. We only have a limited amount of it, and it is up to us to decide how we want to use it. One way to make sure that we are using our energy wisely is to be selective about who we share it with.

When we spend time with other people, we are giving them a piece of our energy. This can be a positive thing if we are surrounded by supportive and uplifting individuals who help us to grow and flourish. However, if we are constantly surrounded by negative or draining people, we can quickly find ourselves feeling exhausted and depleted.

It is important to surround ourselves with people who uplift and support us, rather than those who drain our energy. This means being mindful of the relationships we cultivate, and being willing to let go of those that do not serve us in a positive way. It also means being selective about the time and energy we invest in these relationships, and making sure that we are not giving more than we are receiving.

In addition to being selective about the people we spend time with, it is also important to take care of ourselves and make sure that we are prioritizing our own well-being. This means setting boundaries and learning to say no to things that do not align with our goals and values. It also means taking time for self-care and making sure that we are taking care of our physical, mental, and emotional health.

In short, our energy is a precious resource that should be carefully managed. By being selective about who we share it with, and taking care of ourselves, we can make sure that we are using our energy in the most effective and fulfilling way possible.
