Have you ever felt stuck or is it just me?

Over the last few months, I have been feeling very stagnant. It seems that life hasn’t really changed or shifted much for me in the last year or so.

What I am realizing is that I tend to focus on the big changes. Yet, the small changes still count.

My changes in the season have been more mental than tangible.

Anxiety

I have done a lot better with handling my anxiety and depression symptoms over the past few months. This is an uphill battle and will be for the rest of my life. Yet, every win I have in the area of life I am thankful for.

An example of this has to be my recent accident. Back in July, I had a freak accident. It resulted in burns in multiple areas of my body. To say the situation was traumatic is a understatement. But I have been handling it surprisingly well. One of the first questions asked at every Dr, appointment since has been, are you experiencing any depression symptoms? I have honestly said no every time.

My body looks different and may never look the same as before. I am happy to say that I do not let it get to me. I am proud of myself. Old me would have definitely not been okay.

Spiritually

I have grown so much spiritually this year. Putting more of my faith in God than in others or myself than ever before.

One noticeable indicator that I am changing is how my conversations have changed. This is especially true with people on the same journey as me. On my weekly conversation with one of my best friends, we discussed this. We noticed that our conversations have become more about God, blessings, and prayer. They are less about events and people.

My number one goal at the top of the year was my relationship with God. I feel like I am finally on the right track.

I pray that I find my tribe people aligned with me and can help me grow spiritually.

Home

One of my goals and the area I am proud to see growth in has to be at home. As embarrassing as it has always been for me, I have always been pretty lazy at home. I have also been lax when it comes to keeping a clean and organized home.

When I moved to my current place last year, I made a promise to myself. I would take care of what God has blessed me with. Keeping it clean was on top of my list.

Making little changes can make a big difference towards achieving this goal:

1. . Making up the bed in the morning.
2. Washing dishes right after eating or making sure they are done before going to bed.
3. Having a weekly cleaning schedule has also helped.

Small but effective things make a difference.

When you take care of what you have you earn trust with God, and he will bless you with more.

Conclusion

The world, especially in this social media age, where everyone showcases big things and big changes. It can feel like your life isn’t moving, like nothing is changing for you.

I urge you to sit with yourself and just think. What small changes daily, weekly, or just in this year so far have you made? These changes feel like nothing but truly are something.

Small things can make big differences in your life.

I have a feeling that some big changes are on the way for me. For now, I will enjoy and celebrate the small things!

Until next time
