A Month of Growth: Embracing My Progress and Finding Strength in the Journey

It's been a month since I asked myself why I believe that I can't.

One month later, I find myself in a different space, both mentally and emotionally. The doubts that once clouded my mind still visit occasionally, but they no longer dominate my thoughts.

🌱✨ I've learned that progress isn’t linear, and it’s okay to stumble as long as I keep moving forward.

Over the past few weeks, I've focused on building better habits, ones that nurture my well-being rather than sabotage it. 💪🏽🌟

There were many days when the old, unhealthy patterns seemed so tempting, like a comforting embrace in the midst of uncertainty.

But I started recognizing those moments for what they were: temporary urges that didn’t have to define my actions.

🧠💖 I'm beginning to see that self-discipline isn't about being perfect or never slipping up. It's about showing up for myself consistently, even when I don't feel like it.

I've started small, setting achievable goals each day, and gradually, those small steps have led to bigger changes.

🌅💫 One of the most significant shifts has been in how I talk to myself.

I've stopped berating myself for not being where I want to be yet and instead started celebrating the fact that I'm on the journey.

I've realized that kindness towards myself isn't a reward for reaching some distant goal. It's a necessity for making the journey sustainable.

There’s a newfound sense of peace in knowing that I’m not racing against anyone, not even against time. I'm exactly where I need to be, learning exactly what I need to learn.

The fears and insecurities that used to paralyze me now serve as reminders of my growth. Every time I choose to act in spite of them, I’m proving to myself that I’m capable.

Looking back, I see how much I've evolved in just one month. 🌿🛤️

It wasn’t about a dramatic transformation but rather about the accumulation of small, consistent choices. I’m learning to trust myself, to believe that I can, and that belief is becoming stronger each day.

I know the journey is far from over, but I’m more equipped now than ever before. I believe in my ability to navigate whatever comes next, knowing that I have the tools to keep moving forward.

And in that belief, I find strength and hope for what lies ahead. 🙏🕊️

What advice would you give to someone struggling to find their path in their 30s?

Off the top of my head ...

Make a realistic assessment of yourself.

Your personal pros and cons. You need to center what you're good at, but you also need to pursue difficult goals and projects that you are not yet good at. Otherwise you'll never improve or learn anything new.

Let your childhood dreams guide you.

I wanted to be a writer as a little girl. Writing is now a big part of my job, but child me had creative writing in mind, so I now pursue this too in my spare time and I feel fulfilled.

Be decisive and move fast.

Timing is everything. When you make a decision, you need to execute as soon as possible, preferably immediately. If you don't, in a few weeks or months you'll cool down on the idea. Your circumstances will have changed, potential collaborators will get swept up in other stuff, etc. You'll give up and never do it. So just do it asap.

i’m at a cafe, and someone walked in who looks like a friend from university. “it can’t be him though,” i thought, “because that guy has to be about forty.” i then realized that i am about forty, and i panicked because i don’t know what i’m doing and am truly just a little guy. in case anyone is wondering what it’s like being an adult.
