I stopped recently to consider just how much professional growth I have experienced and wanted to share some insights about this, as my daily practices are a major factor.
The biggest change: I feel so confident in knowing my value and believing fully in what I have to offer. While this is a good feeling, it’s a bit of a double-edged sword. I am standing tall in this knowing AND I have also been met with a fair amount of rejection. I have found myself consciously choosing to NOT say YES to opportunities just because they are in front of me. I am carefully evaluating what needs of mine must be met in order to commit and say YES to something—and this includes refusing to lower my standards because of fear or a lack mentality.
It really goes to show you that constantly expanding is a journey and these growing pains are putting me in a better position to thrive. Sometimes the rejection is frustrating, but I also see how far I have come and choose to stay excited about the things I am doing. Most of all, it feels good to see my progress and reminds me to remain grounded in the practices that I know make me feel my best.
