New York has a special place in my heart and billions of people across the world. Just imagine how iconic it feels to get into social settings of the city and make it your “normal”. Here is what I came to realize while embracing the social scene of Manhattan, and what u think you should be doing worldwide 🫒 Be Selective with Your Yes: In a city that never sleeps, you don’t have to say yes to every invite. Choose the plans that align with your energy and values. Quality over quantity, always. 🪫 Respect your social battery: Know when you’re running low and give yourself permission to leave. The party will go on — your peace matters more. ➰ Boundaries are powerful: A simple “I’d love to, but I need a night to recharge” is magic. People understand more than you think, and those who don’t… well, that’s a sign. 🕶️ Your routine is sacred (or almost): Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee, journaling, or a quick workout, protect the rituals that keep you grounded. They’re your anchor in the chaos. 🪸 Low-Key is underrated: Not every social moment needs to be a rooftop party. NYC teaches you that a walk with a friend, a cozy café chat, or watching the skyline in silence can be just as meaningful. Save this for when you need a sip of New York’s social rules. Cheers! 🍸
