Pulling back your energy from other people is a strength that isn’t talked about enough.
It isn’t selfish. It’s protective. It’s quiet wisdom.
I’ve realised that by letting go of old, negative thought patterns, I’ve reclaimed space I didn’t know I was giving away. Space to breathe. Space to rest. Space to create without noise.
When we stop replaying what hurt us, what drained us, or what never truly belonged to us, something beautiful happens — creativity returns. Gently. Naturally. On its own time.
Today is a reminder that your energy is precious. Where you place it shapes what you’re able to make.
And choosing yourself is often the most creative act of all. 🌱
