A pleasant surprise to stumble across your user name!
I think i would add a number 5. to your list. 5. Too old to give a fuck.
As i have aged. I’m just about to be 48. I really stopped caring. So just kinda am myself.
Look, i still play the social games. I’ll perhaps be polite when i think someone is a dick. But it’s mainly cause i dont want to really engage and being polite or surface friendly is just easier.
But generally, i just kinda am myself these days.
This year im actively eliminating things and people that dont feel like they help me find thrive. As i put my mind toward asking the question, does this, that or you bring me a feeling of thriving… it very easy to see the things that dont. And the simple act of removal… brings another form of thrive, less shitty things that bring me down in my life…means more space for things and people that dont.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not some magic wand. But more just being deliberate. Asking my questions and moving away from anything that makes me feel shit or is more work than its worth.
I guess it’s all great until it’s not. And so it goes…
Look forward to reading more of your meanderings!
