The pandemic severely affected my energy levels. Not sure if it me getting older, but my social threshold is much lower. I get tired quicker. I give myself a lot of grace, it was hard at first but I lowered my expectations of what is possible for me. Add more time to projects and decide which cons matter more to me. Funny enough, I am planning to go to more. At first, I was super selective but now I am getting better. I’ve learned my limits and follow that.
