22 year old self. (Journal entry 1997)
Applying for a job as a chiropractic assistant, health and wellness is embedded in me from such an early age. I feel I need to go for it and create some opportunities, curious to where they will lead me.
The experience of it is nice enough at the moment I feel I am moving toward my goals that is really important to me at this particular time in my life. Moving = success, not moving = stagnation.
With foundations of persistence, practice and skill development I need to show up for myself. Itâs going to be tough, life was never meant to be easy, it takes work, I have to trust that what is meant for me will come.
Geez I need to dig deep, some radical trust - I hope for the willingness to live this year in a way that will be gentle to myself - one day at a time â¨
Di today âHow well do we treat ourselves, honour where we are at? Listen to our thoughts, feelings, needs? For those natural nurturers of society honing in on your own self preservation is everything. Itâs what enables you to do the work you do. Itâs not selfish to make time for self reflection, to make sure you feel you are heading in the right direction.
