My weekend did not go as planned. The varying ways this weekend could have turned out are far reaching. I spent the weekend traveling and exploring a new city. Getting mentally to a place where I wanted to go at all was trying but sometimes you just have to show up for yourself. I wasn’t in a place where I needed to get away particularly. I actually craved staying close to home this weekend and working.
So why didn’t I follow my desires in the moment?
I made a commitment to myself to complete a list of social events over the last several weeks. This experience concluded a list. Even though I felt driven before this trip, I am now CRAVING putting in the work in! I am ready to double down on my efforts to accomplish my goals, both personally and professionally.
I debated staying home. I even waited until last minute to throw some clothes in a bag. Then I made a conscious choice to show up for me and follow through on a commitment I made to myself. It wasn’t the snap of a finger. At first it was “just get on the road” that I repeated to myself over and over. With every step I took towards executing on my commitment to myself I felt my confidence and love for myself grow.
The experience did not disappoint! I was blessed to meet some really cool people and spread some love. That was hands down my favorite part of this collective experience and it reminds me of the importance of what I’m called to do.
You show up to work on days you don’t feel like it. You show up for others when struggling yourself. Be sure to take that same approach when showing up for yourself and our own personal growth!
This weekend I learned a little more about myself. The person I want to be. The person I don’t want to be. The impact I want to have. The future I want. That is the power of being who you need to be for yourself. It’s also valuing yourself enough to follow through with the same tenacity you do for those you surround yourself with.
This weekend allowed me time away to lay out a methodical path forward. I have laid out important tasks over the next 15 days that will set me up for a successful May and beyond. All because I followed through on the commitment I made to myself and showed up!
