Minding Your Own Business About Your Own Business

Dec 18, 2025

There's a lot of energy waiting on the other side of caring what people think - Creativity. Momentum. Ease. Thriving isn't effortful - it's what happens when you stop interfering with your own instincts, and when you mind your own business about your own business.

Not caring what others think isn't indifference - it's using discernment. It's realizing that most opinions are just unfinished conversations people are having with themselves. When you let those thoughts and that energy float by without grabbing them, your energy comes back to you. Suddenly, there's room to be curious, to experiment, to choose what feels true, grounded, and aligned for YOU, even if it's not universally applauded.

I used to think freedom would feel louder. Instead, it feels quieter. Like finally putting something heavy down and realizing I don't need to pick it back up.

Let people think whatever they think, live your most beautiful life. Most of it isn't about you anyway.

When you choose yourself in each moment, honestly, life moves in a new way. More ease, synchronicities, trust... Things click. You don't need to convince anyone you are living your life "right". You just need (get) to Be in it.

Because beyond trying to be understood, is BEING, Here.
