Learning today for growth tomorrow.

I find a lot of “motivated milestones” when I dig deeper into reflection.

I get excited about things that I begin to understand in my life and want to immediately apply all of them!

Just immediately be a “new” person.

However, I know it doesn’t work like that.

I know tomorrow I will wake up with the same insecurities, concerns, etc. as I had 6-8 hours previous right before I went to bed.

However, I can work on those things tomorrow.

Instead of sitting still and letting those worries brew, I want to take action and let my strengths come through.

• Faith: I want to pray consistently and grow with God as He helps me walk through life together.
• Friends and Family: I want to stay connected and open with my support system as I work to grow in these areas.
• Health: I want to focus on my physical, my mental, my meaning. The confident areas, the insecure areas, all of it.
• Counseling: I want to get the most out of my professional health sessions to help me find what works best for me beyond the knowledge I have of self. I want to be open and safe.

So, I will do so.

I like to mark dates in my journal and/or calendar that are “reference reflections”.

Dates I can turn to my notes to understand what I learned on that date and why it is important to me.

I hope that 6/4/2023 is a good date to reflect on, because it sure feels like I learned a lot tonight, even if it didn’t seem like it in the moment!

And who knows – maybe 6/5/2023 will go down in the books, too.

I know one thing is for sure – the learning from today will help me grow tomorrow.
