Spent the last month in a complete rethink

Slowly getting rid of my other social media and leaning only towards things and spaces that give me content that only benefits me, my life and the mind that governs the choices I make. We are destinies of habit and the only control we have is working to design our habits.

Hello to everyone from #TikTok 👋

I am so bad at sharing or posting consistently

We apply meaning far too easily.

Watching the #bitcoin bull run from the sidelines is painful. Biding my time and building for the future it represents 👌

Will we ever again manage to leave the era of hyberbolic attention grabbing statements? Let’s get back to seeking depth and expertise, and if we don’t have that let’s always choose curiousity.

Understanding those 3 categories of Sovereignty for a holistic approach and some questions to apply them: Developing clarity across the three categories intra, inter, and extra-personal requires taking the time to think through and answer important questions, something that AI can be an incredibly powerful tool in assisting you do. By reflecting on intrapersonal values, maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships, and navigating external systems effectively, you can create a balanced and capable mindset and life. Try answering the following questions and work through them with your SELF. INTRA-PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY: REFLECTING INWARDS Identity and Values - Who am I beyond my roles, achievements, or possessions? - What are the values and principles that guide my decisions? - What matters most to me, and why? Beliefs and Conditioning - What beliefs do I hold about myself? - Are these beliefs serving my growth or limiting me? - How have my past experiences shaped my identity? Autonomy and Self-Awareness - Am I living authentically, or am I conforming to others’ expectations? - What areas of my life do I control, and where do I feel powerless? - How do I handle challenges, criticism, or failure? Habits and Well-being - Are my daily habits aligned with my long-term goals? - How do I nurture my physical, mental, and emotional health? - What activities bring me joy, peace, or fulfilment? INTER-PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY: NAVIGATING RELATIONSHIPS Boundaries and Communication - Do I clearly communicate my needs and boundaries? - How do I respond when others challenge or disrespect my boundaries? - Am I comfortable saying no? Roles and Dynamics - What roles do I play in relationships (e.g. caregiver, friend, leader)? - Are these roles balanced, or do they feel burdensome? - How do I ensure mutual respect and reciprocity in my relationships? Influence and Dependency - Who or what influences my decisions and behaviour? - Am I overly dependent on others for validation or support? - How do I maintain individuality in group settings? Conflict and Resolution - How do I handle disagreements or misunderstandings? - Do I seek to resolve conflicts constructively, or do I avoid them? - What role does forgiveness play in my relationships? EXTRA-PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY: ENGAGING WITH SOCIETY Data and Privacy - Where is my personal data stored, and who has access to it? - Am I aware of the terms and conditions I agree to? - How can I safeguard my digital footprint? Economic Independence - Where is my money held, and how secure is it? - Am I financially independent, or do I rely on others or systems? - How can I diversify my income and resources to reduce vulnerability? Social and Cultural Influence - How does society or culture influence my beliefs and behaviours? - Am I passively consuming information, or am I critically analysing it? - How do I contribute positively to my community or environment? Engagement with Systems - How do I interact with governments, organisations, or institutions? - What systems of power affect my sovereignty, and how do I navigate them? - How can I stay informed and empowered in a rapidly changing world? Adaptability and Resilience - How do I prepare for changes or uncertainties in my environment? - What skills or resources do I need to thrive in challenging situations? - Am I open to learning and evolving as the world changes? These questions can guide you toward greater awareness, self-empowerment, and control.

In my work for SELF and understanding the structures of Sovereignty, our founder gave me some great areas to consider and questions to answer. Thought I’d share those with you all. For an individual, sovereignty means having the freedom and autonomy to make personal decisions and live life without external control or influence. Sovereignty is a word that gets thrown around a lot lately and is often used in a way that is 1. hard to relate to your everyday existence and 2. hard to apply in ways that feel helpful. At SELF, we think that the most important thing to understand is that sovereignty is a layered concept that touches on personal identity, social interactions, and external relationships in different ways. Here's a guide on how we see personal freedom through 3 layers: 1. Intra-personal sovereignty This dimension focuses on your relationship with yourself, where you answer critical questions like: - Identity: How do I identify with myself? What aspects of my being define who I am? - Values: What matters most to me, and how do I reflect on these priorities? - Self-awareness: How do I evaluate my strengths, weaknesses, and growth areas? Developing intrapersonal sovereignty requires self-reflection and a clear understanding of one's core beliefs and motivations. It's about aligning one's identity with values that foster self-respect and clarity. 2. Inter-personal sovereignty This perspective examines how individuals interact with others and how these relationships shape their sense of autonomy. Key considerations include: - Perception: How do I view myself in relation to others? - Relationships: How do my interactions support or challenge my sense of self? - Boundaries: What boundaries must I establish to maintain mutual respect and personal integrity? Interpersonal sovereignty is about fostering healthy, balanced relationships where individuals maintain their autonomy while respecting others. 3. Extra-personal sovereignty The final lens explores how the world interacts with an individual's sovereignty. It addresses: - External influences: How does society, culture, or external systems impact my sovereignty? - Engagement: How do I navigate external pressures without compromising my core values? - Adaptability: How do I maintain autonomy while engaging with larger systems like governments, organisations, or communities? Extrapersonal sovereignty emphasises the ability to interact with external forces in ways that protect and reinforce one's autonomy. #AI #sovereignty #freedom #ethics

Very things things beat coconut brain #costarica

Finding as many @Bitcoin Jungle places as I can

Working on putting together expert content for the SELF (https://self.app) community and important things they need to understand to be able to achieve personal sovereignty and protect their privacy. What do you think people need to learn? #sovereignty #privacy

I have overcome an abusive relationship, fighting for access to my son and insolvency thanks to my bad choices, lack of financial understanding and the way the current system operates. I am going to give this primal posting a go in a consistent and contributive way with full vulnerability, transparency and accountability. To see if I can add value here, learn from the community and live on Bitcoin in Costa Rica as a case study for the power of this tech. Who should I follow? #bitcoin #nostr

The power of anything lies in the interaction of the parts that exist within it. Seen in nature and see in anything we create. How can we make those interactions, for example between us, better? Probably NOSTR
