and so I will change.
Iāve recently began to take the reins a little bit more. In my life I have, for the most part, been waiting for things to just happen. Although it seems like thatās how life works when you look at the people around you, itās not. At least itās not for me. It often feels like Iām looking at life like a snow globe. And Iām outside watching it. So Iāve been trying to take action as much as I can. For me action looks like driving more, trying new things, taking care of myself, etc.
With that said, I have to give myself compassion for when nothing changes. I canāt do it all and I remind myself that moments of stagnation are good and healthy and necessary.

š¤I think a lot of things didn't change in my life until I started making the effort to change things about my life and myself! Then naturally things fall into place. I can't wait anymore...

š¤Iāve been thinking about this a lot regarding my plan to purge/organize my home, because the way I used to do projects like this just doesnāt work anymore. I can no longer wait until I have the energy, then do as much as I can in one go. I do not have the gift of uninterrupted time anymore. Instead, Iāve had to adjust to a more slow and steady way of working. I choose *one* space to work on each day. Often times it ends up being one drawer, or corner, or step in the process.
Logically this is great and the best way to meet my goals. Mentally/emotionally I kid of hate it because itās not how Iāve worked for my entire life. I have big ideas and want to do them right now!!!! But, when is growth or change ever without a bit of uncomfortability or pain?
So, I am actively changing my mindset. I speak positively to myself about the one small thing I did that day. I share that one small thing with my husband and friends. Because in actuality if it was so easy for me to do, I wouldāve done it before. So my effort deserves some recognition!! Positive reinforcement, even when itās to our own selves, can carry us a long way š«¶

i began to make more intentional decisions, aligned with what I truly wanted for myself, rather than what others expect from meāwhether those "others" are real people or more abstract societal expectations that i had internalized. This meant sitting down and listening to what i needed, wanted, and could give to myself. having an idea of what i want my life to look like in a few years really helpsāespecially if itās got a mix of realistic and crazy aspects in it i guess
my life is far from perfect, it doesn't have to be. It's all cyclical, i think.
Iāve started treating myself with more compassion, which, like everything else, is a work in progress. I try to do this because guilt can be too defeating. i fuck up all the time, but i try again and again and again. And when everything feels overwhelming, I tryāif I canāto step back and view my life from an observer's perspective. Detaching a bit can really help.
