At this point the timelines are still sliding and I’m okay with it! Dare I say I’ve become more flexible with myself! But I realized that some of my delays weren’t because I physically couldn’t do it but because I mentally believed I couldn’t. “I can’t get up early to do that! I’m not the running type. I’m awkward at the gym” An imposter syndrome of sorts. Still working through that.
Not to take a dark turn but I think we make these “deadlines” (pun intended) because we know we have a limited time in which to do all the things we ever wished or hoped for. So when you get to my grand age you start to believe that time is running out for you to “be anything that you wanna be or do anything that you wanna do” (blues clues voice). In that regard I’m grateful for every new day that I get to dream, plan, and take steps towards my goals or no steps at all!
Okay needless to say I enjoyed this article! I’m glad the writer is finding out now what took me two decades longer to figure out.
Yeah in my early 20s I always felt this urgency of having to complete life goals on a certain timeline, and well, life had other plans lol. I’ve learned to give myself grace and allowing myself to do things as they naturally flow with my passions/morals/ethics and going off if it really and truly feels right rather than impulse of what I “think” I should do based off of external judgment and factors
A WHOLE word!!! I really felt this. I’m someone who’s big on timelines but my life flipped in ways I could have never imagined in the past 5 years lol by body has also gone through traumatic events of odd sickness I’ve never had in my life but what do I do? Adjust accordingly and it will all work out and most of all put myself first and take care of my mental health so I physically don’t have to suffer a as much 🫂

As someone who is religious I say it’s all in Gods timing - it’s not up to me. I’ll just continue to take care of myself the best way I can
