Hello, my girl.
Yes, this is how I say hello to myself whenever I want to have a little conversation with myself.
You know, I used to have a really good habit: reading books. And now, I’ve started listening to audiobooks on Fonos. Luckily, this habit has been helping me get through a difficult time – a time when I’ve been feeling so anxious about my career, but at the same time, I don’t really know what I should learn or what I need to do right now.
For many days, I just kept thinking and thinking. I got stuck inside my own head: worrying, feeling restless, feeling like I wasn’t making any progress, and feeling like I had no clear direction. And honestly, I felt so bad for myself.
Then I remembered something I really enjoy: reading books.
So I came back to it. Now, when I wake up, the first thing I choose to do is not think about my future career anymore. Instead, I turn on Fonos and listen to a book.
And wow… it feels like finally getting food after being hungry for a long time. It feels so good.
It helps me step away from that negative loop inside my head, because worrying about the future doesn’t really help me do anything. But when I listen to a book, I feel like I’m still growing, still learning, still getting something new and good out of life.
And the book I feel so lucky to be listening to right now is called “Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results”.
And yes, just like the title suggests, it keeps reminding me of one simple thing: just do the small thing. So tonight, even though I was already thinking about going to bed, I decided to sit back up, turn on my laptop, and do something.
And guess what? I finished one short online lesson. And I wrote this post. That’s actually so, so amazing, right?
So, while I’m here, I also want to congratulate myself.
Congratulations, my girl, for keeping this habit today.
Congratulations for choosing to do one small thing instead of just staying inside your thoughts.
And this feeling is really nice, isn’t it, my girl? 😊
