Real talk, chasing your dreams can be challenging and it comes with it’s unique obstacles but it doesn’t mean burning out. With that being said, here are 11 short, yet entertaining ways to protect your peace while creating the life of your dreams.
As we all know, pursuing your goals is exciting—but the truth of the matter, is that can also be loud, draining, and occasionally full of people who not only don’t get it. But more often than not, you will run into those people who will want to bring you down. That’s why protecting your peace is not optional—it’s a power move. So here are 11 fun, practical, and slightly sassy ways to keep your vibration high and your boundaries higher:
1. Become Unavailable, Make like a Mime and Disappear Silently
If it’s not aligned with your purpose, it doesn’t deserve your time, period. Set “Do Not Disturb” like it’s your love language.
2. Block, Mute, and Unfollow, Hasta La Vista, Baby
Toxic energy? Bye. So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen. You don’t have to absorb chaos online or offline. Let your physical and digital doors hit them on the way out! And curate all of your spaces like you do your dream board.
3. Romanticize Your Time of Rest Like You Would a Dream Date
Take time to rest like your next million-dollar idea depends on it (because honestly, it might). Hustling until you burn out is definitely out—restoring your energy is in. Self-care is the best healthcare.
4. Master the Art of Saying ‘No’ Without Explaining
“No” is a full sentence. And when you say it with peace, you don’t owe anyone any explanations, punctuation or any other additional words. Plus, saying “no” is another form of self-care and a way of asserting boundaries. All of which can be empowering and lead to better mental health.
5. Meditate… or Just Sit in Silence Like a Mysterious Movie Character
You don’t always need apps, sounds or incense. Sometimes, just 10 minutes of silence can help you feel like you hit the reset button for your soul. And not to mention, sitting in silence, is the quickest way to increase your vibration.
6. Keep a “Petty-Free” Journal
Write it out, get it off your chest, vent, let it go. Let your journal do the heavy lifting and take on the drama—your timeline doesn’t need to.
7. Build a Hype Tribe
Surround yourself with people who cheer for you and tell you when your crown is tilted. Your circle should feel like sunshine, not full of people who like to throw shade (insult or belittle you).
8. Treat Yourself Like a VIP Client
Would you cancel on a client you respect? No? So don’t cancel on your workout, journaling time, or creative flow hour either. Take care of you. It’s cliche, but self-love is the best love and it’s not selfish.
9. Create a ‘Jamming’ Playlist
Music is a powerful tool. Studies show that listening to music can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and even chronic physical pain. Curate a list of your favorite music and use it like a weapon of warfare. You can even take it to another level and add headphones. Try it, 30 minutes a day will work wonders.
10. Check Your “Energy Budget” Like You Check Your Bank Account
Treat your energy like you do your money. Every conversation, task, or scroll session is a withdrawal. Just as you do your budget, spend your time wisely. Be watchful about who you invest your time with. And only take stock in situations that provide you with a return.
11. Laugh, Often & Loudly
Dream-chasing doesn’t have to be all grind. Find humor in the mess, joy in the journey, and moments that make you snort-out-loud laugh. Laughter is powerful, not only does it help to reduce stress but it helps to increase your energy levels.
