What’s something you do completely differently from how you were raised?

I can start with a pretty basic one, I don’t drink. My doctor told me I had to cut it out after I began heart medication a few years ago & I don’t miss it.

I try to solve problems before they become in conflict with my partner. Talking is better than screaming & throwing objects.

I no longer lie about my parents or my upbringing. It was unhealthy & very toxic. By lying I’d still be protecting my father, something I refuse to do.

I start everyday by being grateful for where I am & for what I have. I no longer take friendships for granted or where I am. By practicing being grateful I’m no longer taking circumstances or people for granted.

What do you do differently?
