While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama.

Say goodbye to hustle-fuelled chaos and hello to a slower, soulful start designed for healing and purpose. First Published on 05/08/2008 02:24 Second revised edition - Published on 30/07/2025 13:25 What is the real cost of your “hustle” morning routine? Let me take you back to my apartment in 2020. I was perched on a yoga mat at 4:58 AM, eyes bloodshot, chugging black coffee like it was my penance. My journal read: “Grind today, shine tomorrow.” I was “winning the morning.” Except, I wasn’t. I was losing myself . Each morning, I followed the gospel of hustle—45 minutes of HIIT, cold shower, green juice, goal writing, manifestation, inbox-zeroing—all before 7 AM.
