Letting Go to Move Forward

Good morning to my hivian's, happy weekend to you all. I woke up this morning and check the calendar, I was like, asking myself this question, so we're now in the 7th month of the year just like that, so fast. And I tried to flash back for the past 6 months. How I spent it. To be sincere time wait for nobody and this is what prompt me in treating this hiveghana topic this morning

I didn’t realize how fast this year has moved until I checked the calendar this morning. July already? Just like that? It hit me that I’ve been carrying some things from January till now that are no longer serving me. So I told myself, this is the right time to pause and reset. For real. This halfway point is not just about goals anymore, it’s about what I’m choosing to leave behind so I can breathe better. And for me, it’s the habit of overthinking. That thing has silently drained me more than I even knew

Let me be honest, I overthink almost everything. From small conversations, to how people see me, to whether I’m doing enough or not doing anything at all. Sometimes I’ll sit down and replay one moment like it’s a movie, trying to find what I should have said or done differently. And trust me, it’s exhausting. It made me second guess myself a lot and kept me stuck in my head instead of taking action

But recently, I started realizing how much peace comes from just doing. Not doing it perfectly, not having all the answers, just doing. I told myself, you no go die if e no perfect. That mindset has started changing how I show up, even in small ways. I now try to catch myself whenever I start overthinking, and replace that thought with, “It’s okay. Just try and move.”

What I’m choosing to embrace now is action, no matter how small. I’m embracing bold steps, even when I’m scared. I’m learning that progress doesn’t always feel loud or big. Sometimes, it’s just replying that message you’ve been avoiding, or starting a task you’ve been postponing. Those little steps are now the way I measure growth

I also want to leave behind the pressure to have it all figured out. I used to think by now, I should have certain things already in place, but life isn’t one straight line. So instead of stressing about what’s not yet working, I’m focusing on what is. And I'm giving myself more grace

The second half of this year, I want to be more present, more kind to myself, and more intentional. I’m done with overthinking. I’m choosing peace over perfection, and progress over pressure. I might not get it right every day, but I’ll keep moving forward

The question I'll like to ask you is that, what are you leaving behind to make space for your better self ?
