Finding Myself: Lessons Learned on the Journey

Ever feel like you're on the brink of becoming your best self, only to realize that the journey is more like a winding path full of twists and turns? Trust me, I've been there. Let me take you on the rollercoaster ride that led me to discover who I truly am. Along the way, I learned three important lessons that helped me level up personally, emotionally, and professionally.

Lesson 1: Embracing Structure Over Chaos

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but for me, it's structure. Living with high-functioning ADHD and a mind bursting with a thousand ideas, I've often found myself paralyzed by indecision. Fear of failure would grip me, preventing me from taking action. But then I realized something profound. Just do it, regardless of the outcome. It teaches us lessons. And then there's Notion, my trusty sidekick. It's my organizational guru for my personal life and business. Through fail-safes, consequences, and meticulous review processes, Notion helps me stay on track. And you know what? Seeing those tasks checked off at the end of the day is a victory. I will write a future blog about my Notion!

Lesson 2: Mastering Emotions

Emotions can either be our best friend or our worst enemy. For too long, I let them call the shots, derailing my health and career dreams. But here's the kicker – emotions are messengers, not dictators. By jotting down my thoughts, finding activities that soothe my soul, and focusing on resolution, I've reclaimed control.

Lesson 3: Choosing Self-Love

Standing up for yourself isn't just about setting boundaries with others; it's also about setting boundaries with yourself. I've been my worst critic, allowing self-doubt to overshadow my worth. But no more. Choosing self-love means prioritizing my well-being, even when it's hard. It's a journey of self-compassion, of saying no to self-bullying and yes to nurturing my spirit.

Bonus Lesson 4: Consistency

Consistency is my mantra for this year and beyond. It's been a rocky road, but committing to consistency in structure, emotional regulation, and self-love has transformed my life. It's not always pretty, but consistency often means facing the discomfort of growth. But the promise of who I can become keeps me going professionally, personally, and emotionally.

So, here's to the journey—messy, beautiful, and oh-so-worth it. Remember, finding yourself is not a destination but a lifelong adventure. Embrace the lessons, celebrate the victories, and keep evolving. After all, the best version of yourself is waiting to be discovered.
