I rarely allow myself to just be. The second I'm relaxed, I feel like I should be doing something productive. I scroll through social media and discover that everyone else seems to be on an adventure and leading these exciting, amazing lives- all while I'm in my pajamas and watching a movie with my bowl of ice cream. I won't even be able to taste the mint chocolate chip goodness because of the bitter taste of regret in my mouth at not being in a plane to China or at a dressy gala surrounded by celebrities.
I am working on finding the balance between being thoughtful and pensive and being engaged in life around me.
After all, when we play the comparison game, we rarely come out the winners. There will always be someone who has more or has done more than we have, and they are the same people who look at your life and feel the same.
This week, let's continue to work toward balance. My goals are specific to myself, and I aim to be the best version of "me".
I will celebrate my accomplishments and recognize my failures. No one else has to live my life, so I will live it on my terms. I will respect others' opinions, but in the end, trust my own judgment and make my own decisions.
I will be proud of the person I am this very moment, and look forward to the person I am becoming.
