HAPPY SUNDAY!

I hope you all are doing amazing.

I need to get something off my chest.

I’ve been a little bit inconsistent with posting for my graceful 75. I know, I know. My goal for the new year has been to post consistently. And it’s unfortunate that it is still only January and I have failed this week.

But here’s the thing. I have been learning this month, again, how hard I am on myself. Yes, it is responsible to be meeting my personal deadlines, BUT there are times where I have to be a bit realistic with myself and cut myself some slack. When I say I am a people pleaser, I mean it in a way of showing compassion for others and taking on new perspectives, and being kind to others, and putting others first. And I want to show up and be consistent and share my journey with these things. But there are times where I feel like life gets in the way a bit. Times where I can’t be on my phone posting for the blog. And things can easily slip away.

While I love being there for others and being socially present, I also have to show compassion for myself. I am still human like the rest of us. And this past week has continued to prove that growth is nothing close to linear. Growth is a roller coaster. And a pretty loopy one if I am being honest.

Today I learned how time got away. It ran off into space and I didn’t realize how fast it was. Time slips. Before I knew it, today rolled around and I wasn’t ready.

As for the graceful 75, this is where it becomes a subtlety. Because for myself, I am still committing to completing it. And whether or not I have been posting about it, I have still committed everyday for choosing wellness and choosing me. I may not be directly showing you all, but I’m still here, working on it.

And don’t think I am stopping posting period. I just want to remind you that sometimes life throws a curve ball and I have to attend to it. But it does not mean that progress isn’t being made.

I think that’s a pretty important lesson. Not everyone has to notice in order for you to be ‘making’ progress. Even if you are the only one noticing, it’s still progress. Remember that when you are committing to growth, you are the only person that matters. Not the outside noise.

I truly appreciate you all. I love having this honest, inclusive, safe space.

Remember to show yourself compassion too. You matter too.

 

STAY KIND:)

with love
