Every time I start thinking about and missing a LVM from my past, catch myself starting to mope or see myself tempted to text these creeps INSTEAD I open up one of my investment apps and check stocks and cryptocurrency.

I don't always make a trade but I am always watching prices and looking at news about it. Not only is this an awesome distraction, because it's really fascinating but I'm making actual strides towards a stable future by redirecting energy I used to put into men.

One thing I did to make this transition more seamless is move my investment apps where my texting/social media apps used to be. Little trick I played on my lizard-brain. Do not give into your base drives. Redirect them.

When I was with my ex I got into crypto and he acted like I was dumb and didn't want me to talk about it. It's so gratifying knowing I was right and he was holding me back. If I ignored him I would have made a lot more money.
