If something, that in the past you were doing because it gave you joy, no longer gives you joy, you can stop doing that something.
If something, that in the past you were doing because it earned you much needed cash, no longer earns you much needed cash, you can stop doing that something also.
You don’t have to read an entire book series. You don’t have to spend your entire working life at the same job. You don’t have to finish a movie. You don’t have to eat the whole cake. (Yes, I heard that gasp. – grins) You don’t have to continue a side hustle. You don’t have to separate lights and darks while doing the laundry this week.
If it no longer serves you (makes you happy or earns you an income or…), you can stop. You have that ability.
Stopping that action will also free up your time and energy for something else. Which is an awesome gift to yourself!
