Ready…… Set……. Reset!
It’s about to be a whole new month and I’m trying to reset my life. It’s always hard getting through any goals or resolutions I set at the start of the year, so I try not to pressure myself into making them. Anyway, my January blues are almost over, and I’m trying to get into the groove of becoming “that girl.”
Is it just me, or is it becoming increasingly hard not to fall into “hustle culture” and becoming a millionaire in your 20s? Everywhere I turn online, someone my age and younger is making these big moves, and here I am, not really doing anything. It’s quite easy to fall into that trap and trust me, it’s even easier to tell yourself that you aren’t really doing anything if what you’re doing isn’t what’s romanticized online.
So what if you’re not buying a new car or a new house, or ditching your 9-5, or having kids, or getting married, or making millions of dollars? Who taught us that that was the standard? Every time I go online there’s someone screaming at me, “If you’re not making money in your 20s what are you doing?” Chill out! I’m literally just trying to survive. I can barely make it out of bed most days.
I’m constantly trying to tell myself that I’m doing the best I can. With my 23rd birthday being less than 6 months away, I’ve always just felt like I needed to be doing more at this age. I’m trying to get out of my head about not having a degree yet, or a “big girl job.” Society is a social construct, and nobody understands my situation better than I do. I define what success is, even if right now it is just celebrating 15 followers on my blog.
Next week, I’ll talk about how important it is to celebrate your little wins, and how to set minor goals that do not have you wanting to pull your hair out. Define your version of success, and work towards it at whatever pace feels perfect to you.
Patiently waiting on next week's blog 😌
