Things I'm learning about myself lately 🫶🌸
finishing grad school orientation today had me thinking a lot about growth and timing 💭🤍
i’m learning that changing your mind isn’t quitting.
it’s listening.
and i’m practicing that
Going through grad school orientation recently made me realize how much personal growth is tied to timing and being gentle with oneself. One thing I’ve come to understand deeply is that changing your mind is not a sign of weakness or indecision, but rather an act of listening to your true needs and evolving thoughts. It’s often said that healing isn't linear, and this resonates so much with my experience. There are days when progress feels quiet or even invisible, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I’ve also learned to acknowledge the strength I didn’t know I had. Sometimes, we are tougher and more resilient than we give ourselves credit for. Embracing this quiet growth means being kinder and gentler with ourselves, especially when life demands change or when we face setbacks. From my journey, small reminders to pause and reflect have been powerful tools for healing and self-discovery. If you’re on your own healing journey, remember it’s okay to take time to grow quietly, to change your mind without guilt, and to honor your progress no matter how small it seems. We are all doing better than we think, and embracing this mindset can truly transform how we view ourselves and our paths forward.
