✨ Friday Reflection | Week One Roundup ✨️
This week was emotional.
There was a lot of crying. A lot of pressure. A lot of moments where I felt like I wasn’t moving fast enough. Like everything I wanted to get done wasn’t getting done in the order I had planned.
And if I’m being honest, part of the overwhelm was self-inflicted.
I would start one task… then jump to another… then skip to something else. In the middle of fixing every single button on my website (and asking myself why there are so many buttons), I hit a breaking point.
There was a moment today when I broke down.
Not because I couldn’t do it.
But because I was trying to do everything at once.
That’s a pattern I’ve had before. Especially from my retail days constantly running, constantly switching, constantly multitasking. Starting ten things and finishing none. And at the end of the day, I felt like I had accomplished nothing.
So I had to stop.
I had to breathe.
I had to tell myself:
Everything is going to be okay.
I had to remind myself that slow is still progress. That starting five projects at once doesn’t equal productivity. Finishing one thing is better than touching everything halfway.
And I had to take it minute by minute.
Sometimes second by second.
Permitting myself to say, “You are not moving on until this one thing is done.”
That shift changed the entire tone of my day.
This week stretched me emotionally but it also reminded me of how much I’ve grown. Because instead of spiraling, I paused. Instead of quitting, I recalibrated.
And I am working really hard to bring Pathways to Peacefulness to you. This isn’t just a website. It’s becoming a safe space a place where you can engage with your mental health in all areas, without pressure, without perfection, and without feeling like you’re behind.
💛 One thing at a time. One breath at a time. One finished task at a time.
💛
