Becoming 24

Out of all the days in the year, my two favorite are New Year’s Day and my birthday.

And last week I got a chance to celebrate one of them… I turned 24!

There is nothing more refreshing than a blank page, a new chapter in my book of life, and I’m so excited to see what’s in store for the next 365.

But before we get too far into my 24th year, I want to take a moment to reflect on my 23rd.

4 LESSONS I LEARNED IN THE PAST YEAR

2. Rest often.

I’ve always known rest was important, but it wasn’t until I read The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer that I started being intentional about it. 

I have to relax my body, mind, and soul if I want to show up as my best self in other areas of my life.

That looked like finding pockets of time in my day, as well as, blocking off a full 24 hours.

And the difference it has made in my life… *chef’s kiss*

3. Live intentionally.

This year, was my most intentional yet and I think it really boiled down to being disciplined.

I had to let go of certain things in order to get to where I am today.

I had to continuously choose what I value over everything else and it helped me become a respecter of time.

I often asked myself, “is this helping get to where I want to be? Is this adding or taking away from my life?”

What you do, makes up your life so fill it wisely.

4. I am Endlessly Becoming.

Like I stated in the last post, I’ve recently been struggling with showing up for myself.

It took me a while to realize it was because this is a new version of me.

And that led me to accepting it was going to take some time for me to learn what I need in this season.

I had to remind myself that there’s time and room to grow!

Because there is. 🕊
