Mantra Monday VXI: I Am Becoming
Author: Joe Lizz
I am becoming.
The person I want to be. Each and every day, I take another step toward that person.
Bumps in the road are there for a reason and everything is happening according to a greater plan. While it can feel like time passes slowly when we find ourselves in those “in-between” feeling moments, such moments offer us the time we need to reflect, digest, and progress.
Go easy on yourself. While you should always push forward, you don’t have to push so hard.
Be gentle with yourself; evolve and grow in a place of peace. At no day, at no specific time are you required to do more than you are capable of doing in a place of peace and gentleness.
1. Reflect on where you’ve been
We all come to this exact moment in time from different places in life.
We have all walked different paths, lived different lives, faced different failures and reaped different rewards.
Whether you are proud of your past, regret a lot of it, or feel indifferent, it’s important to reflect on who you’ve been when thinking about who you’d like to become.
What were your strengths? Your weaknesses? In what moments did you think this is the person I DON’T want to be? Be authentic in your reflecting.
2. Digest
What you want out of life, who you see yourself being, where you’d like to go.
There’s a common theme here. We are talking about what YOU want in YOUR life based on your experiences and dreams.
It’s easy to let other people affect the way you think and feel about yourself. You see other people happy and try to chase what’s bringing them that happiness, neglecting the fact that we are all unique and that happiness is unique to each individual.
3. Progress
You can’t cross the finish line without taking the first step to get there.
Progress takes time and hard work. It requires patience, forgiveness, self care.
Remove the self-doubt in your life, whether it be your own negative self-talk or the naysayers around you.
Be sure that your environment promotes growth.
Recognize what’s holding you back: fear? Doubt? Other people? You know what’s worse than failing? Never even trying. You can’t succeed without potentially risking failure.
While it’s important to have hopes and dreams and to continuously grow and evolve in order to become who we want to become, it’s also important to live in the present.
Don’t devote so much work and effort on who you want to become that you stop living freely and start living under pressure all the time.
