I'm so glad that it's finally Friday, not because of any specific plans, but because I'm starting to feel more like my true self once again.
Recently, I confronted an ongoing issue that had been weighing me down. For the longest time, I kept doubting myself, thinking that maybe I was overreacting or that the problem was with me (thanks to that lifelong inner critic we all have; breaking old habits is so difficult!). This self-doubt started to impact my relationships with other friends, and it was becoming a real issue. I just wanted to withdraw more. But then, my dear friend said something so simple, yet so profound "You're allowed to feel what you feel. That you feel it is both enough and revealing."
Validating your own feelings is difficult, especially for some of us. Most of the time, I manage it well, but I let this situation linger far longer than it deserved. I'm super happy to finally put it behind me!
How about all of you? How are you feeling at the end of this week—light or heavy? Share one of your recent (or soon-to-be) wins with me! 😊
I am a small business owner and I just got my first client from a different country (until now all my clients were from my own country). It feels like a step in a new market and I am excited!
