I have this idea in my mind of what I want my life to look like, but for some reason, I don’t actively pursue it because it doesn’t align with my current reality. I find myself in a constant battle between staying in my current life and transitioning to my new reality. Every time I make some progress, I feel scared that things will go wrong, or I remind myself of my inconsistencies. I know my brain is meant to protect me from danger, but it has crossed into an intense form of self-sabotage.

I tend to focus on the future, which can cause me to forget to enjoy the present and put in the work, so that when the future arrives, I can embrace the reality of the dream I have manifested. I hope to constantly remind myself to breathe and appreciate the tiny moments along the journey, because I owe it to myself to enjoy the life I have currently. As a recovering over-thinker and self-saboteur, I need to remind myself constantly.
