Looking back at all the things I’ve had to work through this year and sheesh. I heard going through your Saturn return can be hard, but I had no clue how difficult it actually could be. I feel like on social media we share our highlights and the best of the best, but even though I look good in this photo - don’t let it fool you. I’ve been going through it. 🙃 This year has honestly been one of the most challenging and difficult years I’ve ever had. I’m in a year of expansion. I’ve been working on myself mentally, spiritually, and learning new skills in business that at times makes me want to shut down. My brain naturally loves to create and flow, all of that is easy for me. What doesn’t come natural is creating structure, systems, and processes. I think this is something I struggle with because when I was chronically ill for many years, I wasn’t physically able to actually do a lot of work so I never got a good opportunity to practice and flow within a normal functioning process system like school, for example. That doesn’t mean that I’m broken though, and it’s not an excuse. It just means I have to practice and expand these learnable skills in my business/life as I grow through it. And ooof does expansion hurt at times lol. 😅 I share this with you today because I want you to know that it’s totally normal for things to be hard. Not every single period of our life is going to be easy. Sometimes you have to sit in the foxhole for a while as things get worked out. Sometimes you have to face yourself and see the things that need to be improved in order for you to reach new heights in life/business. That’s not an easy task. Looking deep within and admitting to yourself that you can do better and be better. That’s where it starts though. From there, it’s just going through the motions. Practicing, learning, and not being afraid to ask for help when you need it. I don’t share this for sympathy. I share this because I think it’s important that we normalize talking about the hard things. Even with everything that I’ve had going on this year, I am still the happiest and most balanced version of myself that I’ve ever been. ❤️
