People will push you and try to dim your light with their negativity. It‘s always up to you to on how that affects you. Feel bad for negative people but don’t let negative people make you feel bad.

If it irritates you to see people being negative, you know thats not something you yourself want to be. Dwell on why negativity bothers you. I‘d guess it has something to do with an innate knowledge that we all deserve kindness. Typically super negative people feel horribly about themselves, they have no other reason to say the things they do. It’s the type of person that tends to annoy me as well but when I think about that it makes me really sad for them, and then it feels easier to be compassionate. Anger releases dopamine. If you’re sad all the time, it feels better to get angry for a while. They’re struggling and desperately trying to make themselves feel better. We all need each others love.

What you allow in your life (ie poor behavior, bigotry, inconsideration, etc.),
you‘re subconsciously saying this behavior is ok. I know, I know. ”But what does it say about me if I am not accepting of others?”
In the grand scheme, you’re saying “I’m ok with people treating those I care about like shit.“
This is a hard one to learn. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes, that same benefit of the doubt is enabling flat out shitty people to keep being shitty people.
So what do you do? You want to make sure everyone feels cared for? Start with yourself. The next time that one friend who says everything that’s on their mind hurts your feelings, tell them. watch How they react. Watch if they do it again. And decide from there. Because at the end of the day, you aren‘t obligated to keep people in your life, whatever the reason.

This is a podcast about two black female scientist best friends that discuss the science of things. I loved this podcast so much and I’m sad that they don’t make new episodes.

There are a few things I do such as:
- Take vitamin D supplements during the gloomier months. My friend has been telling me for years and I finally did it and feel the difference.
- Any sliver of sun you see stand in it. Bask in it. We need it.
- Check if you’re dehydrated with the skin pinch test. If you fail, then get some electrolytes or coconut water in you.
- Go on a walk. Any physical activity to get your dopamine back.
- Delete all social media apps on my phone.
- A new one I’ve been experimenting with is soundbaths. You can either listen to YouTube videos of it or find a local class. Have tried this for the past few months and I feel reset.
- And sometimes you just need a good night out at a rave/concert where the music is so loud you don’t have to talk to anyone, you can disassociate and let the music drown out whatever is on your mind.
