Just because you’re at a different point in life than someone else, it doesn’t mean that you’re behind or that you’re not making progress.
In those moments when we compare ourselves to others we forget that we had different starting points, different circumstances, families, experiences, opportunities, etc… When you remember that it’s easier to see how pointless comparison is. Much more useful use of time is to reflect on whether you are living in alignment with your values and priorities. Thinking about doing something is not the same as doing it.
The only way to become good at something is to simply do it. Not just think and dream about doing it, but actually do it, because there is no substitute for the experience. You can’t skip through the phases of first being bad at it, not knowing, falling, and learning, but the sooner you start, the sooner you’ll master it. Thinking about doing something is not the same as doing it. The only way to become good at something is to simply do it. Not just think and dream about doing it, but actually do it, because there is no substitute for the experience. You can’t skip through the phases of first being bad at it, not knowing, falling, and learning, but the sooner you start, the sooner you’ll become better at it. There are things you will have to go through and by waiting for the right time, you’re just prolonging these phases but you will have to learn them either way. Before your habitual thoughts, states, and behaviors take over, pause for a moment to reflect on:
This practice can help you reset your mind, body, and soul by remind yourself that each day you can make a completely different choice than the day before. We are not meant to live in states of overwhelm, anxiety, and lethargy. We are meant to grow, learn, and evolve through our challenges, not be defeated by them. We naturally long for playfulness, ease, connection, and meaning. Our desire for these experiences is not to be judged, dismissed, or ignored, but honored and followed. If you notice that you live daily in states of anxiety, overwhelm, stress, lethargy, depression, etc. consider finding professional help. Your mind, body, and soul want to free themselves from these energy sucking states and want to soar into a more fun and relaxed way of living. |
