Release. Realign. Rise.

This year has to be one of the fastest years that I’ve had the change to experience. Just yesterday, we started the year and today, we are halfway through the year already. If you’ve been following my update’s throughout the year you’d probably know that I started this year with no particular plan as I usually do.

I only started the year with goals I wanted to achieve and the will to go with the flow. So far, I would say it’s been amazing. Not having to worry about stuff because oh, I wanted to do this and that and I didn’t get to do it because of this and that. All I know is, enjoy my life by the days, work hard to achieve goals and life goes on.

The first half of the years has been with fulfilling and stressful for me. As much as I’ve achieved a lot over this period of time , I’ve also had my hard times. There were days I didn’t wish to get out of bed because I didn’t even know what I was doing with my live and there were days I was kicking to get out of bed because there was a lot to fix , a lot of impact to make and a lot of money to accumulate.

I’ve learnt a lot of lessons also along the line and from these lessons, there are some things I’ve made up my mind to leave behind and others I’m embracing. First off, I’m letting go of the habit of being to self conscious and just be myself. I think for so long, I’ve been very self conscious of everything I do. The things that I say, what I do and how I think. Most at times this habit of mine doesn’t allow me to live in the moment because I’m always so cautious about everything. For someone who’s a huge risk taker, this habit has prevented me from doing so much and I plan on changing that. The second half of the year is for living and being me!

Next thing I’m going to embrace is putting myself first. For so long, I’ve been looking out for others every step of the way without even taking a minute to focus on myself. This half of the year is for taking care of myself and doing what will make me happy and grow to be the best version of myself. Because at the end of the day, people don’t even appreciate what you do for them but guess what, people will always talk about what you couldn’t do for them. So why not just focus on myself.

I believe that with these two changes, I’m set off a great second half of the year. And I hope to look back at the end of the year and fill fulfilled for all that I have done for myself because of these changes I made today.
