I have really been trying to put one foot in front of the other and be intentional about working towards the ideal person I want to be, and I am so proud of what I have been doing for the past month or so!
I think one reason things have been feeling so good, is just realizing that working on yourself is the same type of practice that goes into playing an instrument.
It takes TIME, LOTS OF TIME. You make mistakes LOTS OF MISTAKES. Some days are awful. Some days are great. But you just gotta keep going, knowing that every ounce of effort you put in is going towards a beautifully rewarding final product.
And like learning an instrument, you can only compare yourself with the ideal version of yourself you want to be. Comparisons with other players, wishing that things could be different, wishing you could do something someone else could do, these are the bringers of practice doom… Fuck I could go on, so many (good) thoughts in my head that I’ve been really listening to, and which I hope to practice more and more and more.
