21 things I learned in ‘21

We're always in the process of becoming. What we want is on its way to us but we must be presently apparent to lessons and learning available to us along the way. The "in-between", the space between, is where the real growth and transformation happens. Stay focused on what you want and appreciate who you are in the becoming process. I turned 27 this month and that really got me thinking...what did I learn over this past year? My 26th year was a BIG year in my life. I met some amazing new friends, got a promotion at work to pursue my passion, started taking my wellness?more seriously and met a great guy - Winston ??.

So without further a due,?here's a list of the narrowed down version of 21 things I learned in ‘21 :

1 -Inner work is key - working on your mindset will change your life

2 - Less is more

3 - Unlearning is just as important as learning

4 - Vulnerability isn't weakness, it's strength

5- You inspire and help people you don't even know are watching you

6- Fear isn't going anywhere. The fear just becomes different with each new level you step into

7- Practice gratitude every day - be happy with where you are now while striving for more

8 - You're going to be too much for some?people; don't take it personally

9 - Don't be afraid to ask for help

10 - Your story is your power, don't be afraid to share it with the world

11 - Never stop learning. Set time aside every day for personal/professional development - but don't just learn, implement!

12 - Setting boundaries is key. Say no to things that don't light you up

13 - Always listen to your intuition; it'll always lead you on to the path you're meant to be on

14 - Focus on what you can control

15 - Your health is more important than work; make it your priority. Slowing down will help propel you forwards

16 - Nobody cares about what you do more than you. Stop worrying about other people

17- Your worth isn't determined by how many hours you work a day, or how much money is in your bank account

18 - Document all your processes; it will make it easier to replicate, tweak and teach them

19 - Start before you're ready. Keep moving and taking messy action!

20 - Uncertainty is always a better choice than unhappiness

21 - There are people less qualified/ experienced than you, doing the things you want to do because they believed in themselves

I cannot wait to post the 22 new things I learn this year. Cheers to another year of personal growth and development.

Let your dreams be bigger than your fears & your actions be louder than your words
