I’ve realized no matter who I am, what I do, or what I look like, people will always judge me.
This month, I’m one year without alcohol, and I’m not going back.
I turn 38-years-old today. Since I spent the first 18 years (mostly) following my parents and schools' expectations, I consider today the 20th anniversary of figuring out life on my own.
When you rely on other people’s opinions to make you feel assured, you’re relying on something that isn’t really yours, and eventually, you’ll get knocked off your pedestal.
Think about how much more you’d get done if you didn’t worry about what other people thought. If you allowed them to think what they want.
Every time you delay a decision, you sacrifice all the time you spend in limbo. You’ll never get that time back.
When you think in extremes about yourself, you end up feeling shitty because the reality is we’re super complex.
I used to tell myself that I was BUSY. My brain constantly buzzed with stressed and distracted energy – I didn’t realize how much my mental noise affected my focus.
The human experience is a mixed bag of emotions. We need the negative to understand and appreciate the positive.
Some thoughts are helpful, others may feel inspired, but most of our thoughts are negative, unnecessary, and stuck on repeat.
