Weekend-Engagement topics: WEEK 294 : Becoming Better Than Who I Was Yesterday

Hello Weekend Engagement, I've been my worst self, especially when my expectations got too much for me to handle it. Because, as a multitasker, I believed I could easily handle my business well, and although that confidence was beneficial, I also put too much pressure on myself. When the things didn't go as expected, I became frustrated, disappointed and discouraged. Rather than encouraging myself, my expectations gradually sapped me emotionally and mentally.

This happened because I've wanted success so badly that I forgot to be more patient with myself. I compared my progress to others and expected instant results, not realizing that growth takes time, mistakes, and learning. I became hard on myself, doubted my abilities, and felt like I was failing, even when I was actually trying.

This occurred because I desired achievement so much that I forgot to be patient with myself. I compared my success to others' and expected immediate results, not realising that growth requires time, mistakes, and learning. I grew harsh on myself, questioned my talents, and felt as if I was failing, even though I was truly trying.

Through reflection and self-awareness, I discovered that growth is not always quick, but it is always worthwhile. I started practicing self-compassion, being gentle to myself, and trusting the process. My perspective gradually evolved from pressure to patience. Now I realise that being my worst self taught me how to be my best self. By setting realistic goals, I've found calm, motivation, and renewed confidence to keep evolving not flawlessly, but honestly and boldly.
