OCTOBER REFLECTIONS: EMBRACING CONSISTENCY AND CARE

in Lifestyle21 hours ago

October has been a great month so far. I have been consistent with a few things that normally I would have given up or given myself reasons not to do them. I wrote the final session examination this month and I was really uncertain and happy at the same time about the whole process. I read better than I have always been doing. Not that I did better though (I’m hoping I will) but I was happy I didn’t talk myself out of reading even though I was finding it hard to assimilate at some point.

I remember taking my diet seriously too. It was hard at some point because I wasn’t just interested in eating anything but I was glad it wasn’t for long. I took a lot of fruits this month too. I tried my best not to treat myself carelessly this month and I was really happy about it. It isn’t something I do often. I can easily care less about myself and I was worried I would give up trying but even though I did at some point, this is the longest I have gone and I’m happy and grateful about it.

I slept a lot too. I didn’t take my rest for granted at all. I did my chores when I felt like which usually is the best time and everything was okay except my personal relationships but that’s a story for another day. I’m really beginning to learn to love myself better. The more I think about it, I have to do this more and without apologies. I mean, that’s also a way to let God be glorified in my life. I’m not sure how this coming session will be fe me but I hope to do way better than every other sessions I have had in the university in all aspects of my life.

Taking care of myself is of top priority while trying new things out and giving myself a chance to be truly happy without being scared of what comes after. Of course, I know I shouldn’t over do it but I won’t be doing it any less either. I’ll learn to be happier and make others around me happy too. I’ll learn to do things differently even though it’s hard and uncomfortable. I’ll learn to bring the best out of me and not be scared of how far I can go.

These past months have taught me to set the rules while trusting God to guide me and give me better wisdom to do things right. I have been too rigid about so many things since I was a little girl and even now, I’m still that way and I really need to loosen up a little and this past months have given me the confidence to do so. I’ll do things differently for a change and see where it takes me. I’m not going to expect too much but I’m not going to quit trusting the process.

It’s been a lovely month like I have said and I’m trusting that there will be more goodnesses to end this month with. And the coming month? I’m going to expect even more!

Thank you for reading through. 💜
