A Reminder: Enjoy The Process

I don’t intend this to be a long one more so a reiteration to myself and to you, the reader, of the importance of trusting in our own journey.

I recently deleted Instagram and in hindsight, it was a brilliant decision to make. One I highly recommend for you to try out sometime. With everyone’s lives readily available to look at and dissect, I repeatedly found myself in states of comparisons to my peers -as well as people I had never met-. Now, this wasn’t a conscious choice, it was stemming from my subconscious beliefs over my own life and where I am.

*The problem with subconscious beliefs is that they trigger thoughts whether we like them too, or not. Sure, I could have reframed the thoughts each time they came up but sometimes it's also best to just remove the trigger altogether.

Either way, one of my biggest struggles seems to be keeping faith in my own journey. When embodying my highest self, the sense of joy I get out of this work and writing to you is one I rarely feel elsewhere in my life. It’s funny to me that my once paralysing fear of self-expression has become one of my greatest sources of satisfaction -always follow your deeper knowing, guys-. I love writing, I love the process of making YouTube videos, I love researching about the human psyche. It’s my passion.
