I am working on not letting the fear of missing out affect how I feel, make me anxious, push me to ruminate, or influence my choices by making me desperate or lower my standards.
I will not miss out on things because I am focusing on myself and building my life, I am still figuring things out. This time in my life is meant to help me get closer to myself, to get to know myself. I've done a lot of healing and I've let go of a lot of things, people and situations.
Now I get to savor and appreciate things like I've never been able to before because I was in survival mode. Now I get to live, I get to be comfortable and familiar with a relaxed nervous system. I get to be myself naturally, organically and authentically because I am living to please myself.
I am no longer striving to be what I thought people expected of me for survival. I am no longer rushing to live a life I feel like I'm missing out on. I am making my own choices and I am turning away from what is not in alignment with my heart.
I am not missing out, I am very much experiencing life first hand, I am making conscious decisions that are not influenced by fear, I am choosing new experiences, I am taking in new perspectives, I am reaching out, and I'm stepping out of my comfort zone.
I am learning to appreciate the steps I am taking, steps that will eventually lead me to places and people I've longed for. I am not missing out, I'm taking small steps in the right direction.
