2024 Lessons That Ive Learned
1. Often I worried about so many things that were either out of my control or won’t ever happen. I had to sit back and think to myself, why am I so worried and anxious all the time? Come to find out I had to really work on some inner dealings and thoughts that were created from past trauma and childhood experiences.
2. Maaannn when I was going through some of the most stressful points in my life, I would pray, and pray, and pray, and wouldn’t receive anything! I thought God was punishing me or not showing me any love. But the thing is, the stuff I was asking for really wasn’t good for me. I was asking for things that would hinder my growth as a person and my relationship with God. His “No” was so consistent that I just gave up asking and started thanking Him for protecting me and loving me even when I thought He didn’t.
3. I’ve come to the realization that I’m addicted to working lol I don’t like to relax. From time to time now I sit watch Netflix for a bit or read something but it’s not as often as I would like. I’m still learning to relax but at least now I’ve learned that I don’t like to relax 😂
