I have been so busy living my life before I knew it it’s been four months since I’ve written on here. Not a bad thing, I’m glad I’ve really been present in my day to days, but a good time to check in nonetheless. When reflecting back from December to now what I most want to echo for everyone is your permission slip to change.your.mind. To change yourself. To pivot. 

There are ways in which I already in the span of four months feel light years away from where I was, there are things I didn’t expect to pick up but now are fully integrated in my life, and there are things that just weren’t doing it for me anymore so I let go of them. The only constant in life is change, and it rings truer for me every year. There is a level of appreciation for where your at that I hope everyone is able to find, but this is for those things you keep thinking about that you’ve mentally put in an “out of reach” or “out of bounds” box. I’m here to tell you, it’s not. 

Maybe it’s a mental loop you are stuck in, maybe it’s that you want to try a new work out class, pick up a new hobby, write that book, you name it but you get the gist. We hold this things up like they are unreachable and unachievable in a short period of time, and yes sometimes it does take time and work, but sometimes it’s genuinely just making the decision to try. To try today even. It’s giving yourself permission to attempt it, and perhaps even to decide you don’t like it and put it back down. To pivot yet again. 

We put so much pressure on these things that it prevents us from even exploring the option, and before you know it you’ve spent years “wanting to do something” and never actually executing. If you are a little bit of a perfectionist, I empathize as I also suffer from the affliction, you box yourself into only doing things you feel like you are good at. But in order to be good at something you have to be willing to maybe be bad first. You have to try. 

You don’t have to make it your identity, you don’t have to advertise to the world whatever it is. You are allowed to change your mind and decide maybe that wasn’t what you thought it would be, but whatever it is for the sake of the good old fashion millennial YOLO… I want you to try. I want you to allow yourself to pivot. And I want you to see how you feel a couple months from now. I promise it will only help you feel more at home within yourself because it allows you the opportunity to genuinely flesh out things.

Anyway, that’s my long winded way of saying I’ve been too busy pivoting to blog, but it’s been fun and I want you to give yourself permission to do it too. After all, some dancing is just pivoting with rhythm and everyone can benefit from dancing more. 

Cha cha real smooth.
