The way you personally choose to interpret being your ‘best self’ is-absolutely your business (no-one other than you can decide what that is or what it’d look like in your specific case) but the (double-sided) question I’m trying to get-across is whether you go through your daily life just trying to survive and get-by or whether you make a conscious effort to give it your 100% in everything you do (whether it’s cooking, cleaning/doing laundry, at-work or in a moral sense by trying to make sure there aren’t any streaks of toxicity or narcissism developing in you). Everyone’s life-priorities are different and sometimes you have to act in a way contrary to how you’d-rather because of difficult circumstances (e.g., unfair-dismissal, being hardly-any-savings broke, being in a/n environment/job that mightn’t be conducive to your needs/wants) so there’s no judgement towards either side (certainly-not from me) but I just thought it would be interesting to see how people’s priorities are (conditionally or otherwise) set now-that we’re nearing the last quarter of the first year of anything-like normalcy since the pandemic kicked-off.
