I never allow anyone to consume me, this is what I do to prevent that:
- They didn’t call, great go to sleep or continue to have a good day.
- They didn’t text put your phone down and have a great day with the people around you.
- they don’t show any effort, go ahead and prioritize yourself and do something that’s worth your time ( for me that’s reading, writing, sleeping, eating and playing video games)
- They left you on read delete the conversation. You don’t need to stress over it act like it never happened.
- They didn’t check on you, check in with yourself ( I do that by praying to Jehovah and by writing in my journals that’s right I have more than one journal: I have my feelings journal, my thoughts journal, my praying journal and my shadow work journal I just pick one and when I feel really sad I just distract myself by writing in all of them)
- Efforts reflect interest don’t let them fool you; if they are not making any effort then they are not interested.
- Never let your happiness depend on anyone. Make yourself happy, choose yourself every single time. Walk away and create the life that you want.
