Things I’m Proud of Lately

4 days agoEdited to

... Read moreIn my journey toward personal growth, I've found that the small victories often matter the most. Protecting my peace more consistently has become a priority, and it’s made a profound difference in how I handle challenges. There was a time when hard days would completely drain me, but lately, I’ve learned not to give up on myself during those moments. Instead, I remind myself that setbacks are temporary and growth is ongoing. Handling situations with more calmness has also been a pleasant surprise. When life feels busy and overwhelming, staying grounded helps me maintain clarity and avoid unnecessary stress. It’s a gentle practice of breathing deeply and focusing on what truly matters in that moment. Being kinder to my mental health has been equally important—I treat myself with patience and compassion, just like I would a close friend. These changes connect deeply with the #softlifeera and #gentleliving communities I resonate with, reminding me that self-care and self-coaching aren’t selfish but essential. Each day, I’m still growing and still proud of the progress, even when it feels subtle or slow. What truly stands out is the commitment to consistency rather than perfection. These small steps have helped transform my mindset, creating a stronger foundation for continued self-growth. If you’re navigating a similar journey, remember that protecting your peace and embracing kindness to yourself can lead to remarkable emotional resilience. Growth doesn't always come from dramatic leaps but often from everyday choices that nurture your wellbeing and spirit.

Lately I’ve been really proud of the little life we’re building 🤍 • Got engaged to my best friend — and honestly still can’t believe I get to marry him • Accepted a 2nd grade teaching position after receiving FOUR offers (3 new opportunities + an offer to stay where I am). Feeling so confident

Things God has shown me lately 🙏✨️
No.1 Hope - I used to be so quick to jump into the mindset that "everything is falling apart" when, in reality, one or two things weren't going my way. When upsetting things would happen, I would soon be drowning in despair and could find the good in nothing. I've learned that just

A golden-brown sourdough bread loaf rests on a cooling rack, with a lit candle and ceramic pitchers in the blurred background. An overlay reads: 'God can do way more through your surrender than you could ever do through your control.'
Things I’ve been learning lately
I recently started my sourdough journey and I feel like it’s going well. Here I combined something I learned in the natural with something I feel like God is walking me through spiritually. That is a Common theme in my life. You have to be still and know that He is God. #relationshipwithGod
