Being more aware of how much energy I’ve got and being able to be more discerning with where I spend it, and who I spend it with. Being more authentic, learning to actually say I need things and aware that I can ask for help. Not taking any shit. When you’re younger you have time to worry about other people’s problems, but managing my pwn emotions means I can’t micro-manage others, so I’m less reactive Not worrying about things you can’t change, not overthinking what you’ve done or what other’s think Having a sense of turning within makes me feel calmer. Learning to be, not do is what changed my life.
My life has been so focused on me as a sexual being, so not to be driven by sex is a relief The loss of mojo, having relationships on a different level that aren’t based on sexuality Health issues More pain Body image Weight gain, lack of energy to motivate myself.The final acceptance of not having kids.Teenage tantrums. I just feel flat It’s all a bit empty
