I often feel drained after spending time with...

Making, having, and maintaining connections is important, but it can all be a bit draining. 🫠 This is especially true for those of us who have a limited number of spoons to go around. (BTW, there's definitely no shame in needing to prioritize yourself.)

What social situations make you feel the most drained?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks feels the most drained after spending time with large groups of people. She prefers a smaller group or just people she's already comfortable with.

This is Cookie. She's a wild bunny that my mother rescued as a newborn. Feeding her some flowers and wondering... have you eaten today? Have you had some water? Have you taken your medication(s)? Just a friendly reminder to check in with yourself and listen to your needs today. Hope you're doing well out there 💜

How can you strengthen the connection you have with yourself?

Yes, the connections we have with others are super important, but so is the connection we have with ourselves!

We do spend the most time with ourselves, after all, and we deserve to have the best relationship we can. 💌

How can you improve the connection you have with yourself? What are some ways you can strengthen it?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she can strengthen her relationship with herself by doing the activities she enjoys more consistently.
