Holding your peers to A high standard

Years ago, if a friend of mine was experiencing trouble at work or school or with their partner/other friends and asked me for advice or vented, I would very easily default to “quit!” or “drop out“ or “dump their ass you deserve better king/queen/my liege” And as a result, no one improved, in fact we backslid into becoming reactive or destructive and eventually, bore no patience with one another because there was no good ground to stand on Life has gotten better since I and others stopped abandoning ship at any sign of discomfort. Don’t let your friends destroy their lives because you give them a stamp of approval!

Being honest with your friends rather than enabling them

And if they don’t like it there’s the door 🚪👋😔

Keeping your friend group ‘high vibes only’

in other words, cut toxic people. if you’re not having lots of laughs with people you enjoy being around, you’re doing it wrong.

Knowing when to call it a night

Like yoga, it is a practice, a skill, and an art form.

Kiwi (and any other fruit that isn’t in your typical rotation)

I had a kiwi the other day, it was all that was left in the fruit basket of the co-working space that I frequent. It was probably the first kiwi I have eaten since primary school. It was absolutely delicious. It also served as a gentle reminder that it is easy to fall victim to the monotony of routine. Change your habits! You WILL be rewarded!
