The first thing I understood—and what became the first step in my self-love and self-care journey—was learning to disconnect from people who drain me: from talking to them, talking about them, and constantly thinking about them.

If I told you that you had a limited quota of energy every day, and you had to ration it, how would you use it?

Would you give it away freely, or would you save it, preserve it, and use it for the things that need it most?

I think it works the same way in life. Before we even think about setting boundaries or focusing more on ourselves, the first step is learning to ration our energy—and consciously give it to the people, places, and things that deserve it the most.

And that includes you.
