Cheap conversation.

Multiple Blue Rings

The belief that self-care is selfish.

Self-care is not selfish; it is essential. You will get through life if you make investments in your mind, body, and soul. It's an investment in oneself.

"Rest is essential; it is not a time waster. Make time for yourself, sleep, and nothing. You'll get exhausted without it."

The notion that rest is a waste of time.

"Shame is poisonous and never benefits you, so let it go. Learn from your errors, stumbles, and suffering, but don't let them define or follow you around forever."

"Examine the sources, purposes, and alignment of your beliefs with your genuine beliefs when you challenge them. Don't take things at face value without checking them out."

Never questioning your beliefs.

Not living according to your values.

"Make a list of your core values and assess your compliance with them. If not, redirect."

Be trustworthy. Plan ahead and follow through. Do what you claim you'll do. Maintain your word and be there for others. Develop this characteristic.

Being flakey.

Making errors fosters strength, love, and development. Refusal to accept responsibility halts learning. Accept change and develop into the person you were born to be.

Burst

Don't attempt to win everyone over. Concentrate on those who already do. You're not for everyone, and that's okay.
