Now, being in my late twenties and truly understanding the gift of compound interest, I see the beauty of experiencing life through the lens of a marathon rather than a sprint. Learning how to be patient and practicing deliberately slowing down is changing how I am experiencing my day to day. No longer am I overwhelmed by anxiety and guilt of not always being “productive” and “busy” in this results driven society. I have also shifted my definitions of what those two words mean. I am still learning how to become my most optimized self. But I am doing so in a way that supports my well-being by lessening the comparisons to external metrics and rather focusing on how I have improved from who I was yesterday. 🫀🌸」3月21日 1時57分
