Hey there. I’ve been thinking a lot about how relationships shift when we start to work on ourselves. Not just surface-level changes but when we really begin to untangle what’s going on inside. When we reconnect with who we actually are and begin that healing process, a lot of things start to move. And one of the biggest shifts comes in the people we surround ourselves with.
Hey there. There’s something that happens to a lot of us when we start to think about what we actually want in life. We start out excited. We feel a pull toward a change, an idea, or a path that feels more aligned. But instead of taking action, we start rationalizing. We convince ourselves that it’s not the right time. That it’s too risky. That we’re being selfish for even considering it.
Hey there. For most of my life, I believed the answer to self-doubt was action. I thought if I just did enough, accomplished enough, stayed productive enough, I’d start to believe in myself. That mindset kept me in a loop where I was constantly performing. I wasn’t building confidence. I was surviving by trying to earn it.
Hey there. Let’s talk about imposter syndrome. We all deal with it at some point. That voice in your head that tells you you’re not good enough or that you don’t belong. The typical advice is to just keep taking action until you build confidence from your results. But what if we flipped that?
Hey there. One of the most freeing things I’ve learned over the years is this. Let people be who they are. That’s it. That one mindset shift has taken so much frustration off my plate. It’s helped me stop trying to mold or fix people, and instead, just see them for who they are right now.
Hey there. It’s wild to think about how many stories we’re a part of without even knowing it. Every person we’ve ever crossed paths with, no matter how briefly, has some kind of narrative about us. And we do the same with them. We tell ourselves stories about who they are based on limited information and then we treat those stories as truth.
Hey there. I spend a lot of time talking about living an inside/out life. That means building your foundation around who you really are so you can navigate the world with confidence and clarity. But today, I want to ask you something simple that can be easy to overlook. How do you want to feel?
Hey there. There have been so many times in my life when I felt like giving up on myself. I’ve been told to be realistic. I’ve been told to think smaller. And for a long time, I listened. I tried to fit in. I tried to live the life I thought I was supposed to live. But deep down, I knew that box wasn’t meant for me.
Hey there. I’ve been thinking a lot about friendships lately and how they fit into the idea of living an inside/out life. This is a topic I don’t usually dive into deeply, but I’ve started to notice how much noise there is around relationships. Especially online. And a lot of it, honestly, leads people toward isolation.
Hey there. For a long time, I lived my life trying to prove something. I didn’t always realize it, but deep down I was chasing validation. I wanted people to see me a certain way. Maybe it was to prove someone wrong. Maybe it was to finally feel like I was enough. But none of that ever really gave me what I was looking for.
Hey there. There’s a question I think we all need to ask ourselves from time to time. Who are we really living for? If the answer is anyone other than ourselves, it might be time to step back and reassess. I know how hard it is to admit that you might be doing what you do to prove something to someone else. I’ve been there.
Hey there. Fear is a liar. It’s loud, convincing, and it loves to creep into every thought when you’re trying to grow. But here’s the truth I’ve come to realize. Fear might always be there, but it doesn’t get to be in control. I’ve spent most of my life letting fear hold me back, whether it was fear of failure, rejection, or just the unknown. But I made a decision to change how I respond to it.
Hey there. Comparison is one of those things that feels automatic. It’s so easy to scroll social media, look at someone else’s progress, and feel like we’re not doing enough. But here’s the truth. You’re not running their race. You’re running yours. And the second you internalize that, everything starts to change.
Hey there. There’s a fear that holds a lot of people back, and it’s one I’ve battled with more times than I can count. The fear of failure. The fear of rejection. The fear of things not going the way you hope they will. If you’ve ever felt stuck or hesitant about starting something new, this fear is probably what’s in your way.
Hey there. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what makes each of us unique. In a world that constantly encourages us to fit in, it’s easy to forget just how powerful our differences really are. We gravitate toward others because of similarities, and that’s a beautiful thing. But what truly deepens connection is when we start to appreciate each other’s differences.
