I can’t believe I did it! I completed a blog post every single weekday this month. I’ve honestly been in complete awe in all that God has done with this platform over the past couple of years. During this consistency challenge, I’ve learned a couple of major lessons.
First, I can do hard things. At the beginning of this month, blogging daily seemed like a close-to-impossible task. Before this month, I was happy if I posted 1-2 times a week. But setting the standard beyond what my mind could fathom pushed me to new limits. Limits that I’m happy I reached and expedited my growth.
Second, I learned to release things that make me happy into the world without fear. Writing has been my thing for the past year. I write a lot of words on a given day, but 90% of those words and thoughts are kept to myself. Honestly, I hold back for no other reason than fear. Fear of failure and fear of being perceived the wrong way haunt me at times. But I’ve learned to shut down that fear and remove the limits I place on myself.
Lastly, I learned that accountability is everything. This last point kinda drives home the lesson God has been teaching me all year. We’re not meant to do life alone. My sister over at aromaticbalance.com has honestly been the hugest blessing on this journey. She has been my motivator, my accountability partner, and one of my biggest cheerleaders. And honestly, embarking on this journey with her has meant a lot because she’s always been someone who in my eyes does everything with excellence.
So while you probably won’t see me writing every day in the month of August, I’m excited to challenge myself to even new heights next month.
