I did it!
I've written thirty-one posts for the month of October and it was most certainly a challenge. Each week my urge to give up would increase a little more than the last. Especially towards the end there when I was so close to finishing. As I've mentioned before, I don't always finish things and I actually thought from the very beginning that this would be one of those things that I didn't finish. I thought I'd make it a week at best. But look at me, here at the finish line. I feel quite proud!
A few takeaways:
- Thinking about what to write every single day is tough. It can be done, but it's tough.
- If I really wanted to, I could write 2-4 post per week. If I really wanted to.
- I have the ability to encourage myself. When I wanted to quit this challenge, I forced myself to write another post. I need to apply this ability to many other areas in my life.
- I've wondered how my audience views me. I wonder if they think I'm overwhelmed or unhappy, a pessimist or complainer. I hope I've just come across as real, content and human.
- I've wanted to hone in on every little thing. Be the best at everything. Get everything done. But, ultimately I've found that I need to stop being so hard on myself and extend myself some grace.
- Lastly, I thought a lot about how I spent my time as I went through this process. Time is valuable. Spend it wisely.
I hope you've enjoyed this series. I most certainly have.
Yet, I'm thankful that it's over.
