Affirmation of the Day:

Seeing 222?

It’s a powerful angel number that represents balance, harmony, and alignment in your life. It’s a reminder to trust the process, stay patient, and know that everything is falling into place exactly as it should. The universe is working in your favor.

Goal for today: focus on myself and on what I have control over. Others people opinions and actions are out of my control and I won’t waste any time stressing over it.

How much is too much before it becomes toxic and an unbalance….my threshold to tolerate things is very very small.

When all you wanted was some good coffee and donuts and the barista gets your coffee order wrong and the donuts you wanted weren’t available got the best of me. Practicing tranquillity when being upset and frustrated seems like the best option. #Stoic #stoicism #anger #coffee

Reading is shelf care.

Trying to put into practice what I have learned about stoicism but people in the workplace can make it very challenging 😤 #stoicism #stoic

So did we all finally decide to leave our X? She was hella toxic.
