Sometimes we don't realise enough that it's okay to have an off day.

So true - off days are part of being human.

I think we can become robots in our own lives…just routine to routine. It’s safe, it makes sense. As long as you don’t loose yourself in the process…loose your why. Sometimes I think, is there an end goal or am I just spinning my wheels. Maybe I need a break to refocus and start fresh. Sometimes doing nothing is the best something. 😊

And I would love the guide👏

Yes, you captured it perfectly, Jill✨

That quiet moment of wondering “am I just spinning my wheels?” - I’ve felt that too. And the willingness to pause and reconnect with your “why” - not for anyone else, but for yourself - that’s already a powerful first step.

Thank you for your interest in the guide. It means a lot to know this resonates. I’m working on it now and will be sure to let you know once it’s ready to share!

I used to be like that too where I kept putting others first and that led me to burnt out. This year I'm focusing on my mental health and becoming the best version of myself.

That sounds like a powerful shift, Louisa.

Putting yourself first isn’t selfish - it’s the start of real balance.

Wishing you strength and clarity on this journey.

Indifference vs. Difference? It makes no difference. It makes an indifference. Religion talks about Love. I translate Love as Caring. I think that's what the universe requires. I care about everyone, but, as you suggest, I have to care about myself too. So I can't show caring to everyone. It would just be exhausting. I need the "universe" to tell me where to show caring.

I just joined a public Introverts Facebook group. I posted this. "Ambitious introverts here? Like me? It's frustrating that I want to be in the public and educate and entertain the public, but I don't know how. Everything seems to require socializing first, but I want to skip that part. Can we create a troupe of introverts who plan things together online and then organize and go out in public together to do our thing?"

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Len.

I hear the tension between wanting to care deeply and needing to protect your own energy - that’s something many of us wrestle with. I like how you’re exploring these questions openly.

Wishing you strength and clarity as you follow where your curiosity leads.
