What Am I Waiting For?

Today's blog prompt is What Am I Waiting For? I thought this was an interesting topic to think about, the first thing that came to mind for me was with blogging and creating content online. In some ways, I think I've stopped waiting. I'm finally posting the content I make on Instagram. I am sharing almost every day since being laid off, and I stopped caring what other people are thinking or potentially saying about what I share. But are there still areas I'm holding back? And why?

I shared a bit about what helped me break free from the fear of posting in this post, but I think that my struggle to remain consistent ties in to that same imposter syndrome and fear of failing. I need to remember one of my life lessons from yesterday, and always follow my intuition. I know there is a reason that I feel such a calling to do this. Perhaps I'm still figuring out why, or where this will all lead, but if I don't start then I will never know. I need to remember that my intuition is guiding me this way for a reason. I don't want to have any more regret about not trying, or what if? I have always been able to find excuses easily as to why not. I'm too busy. What will people think? My content isn't as good as xyz. I can't afford all the trendy new things. My house isn't good enough. Etc. The list goes on and on. 

But, when I really think about it. I am unique and that is why people would want to follow along. All my favorite accounts to follow are other women who I feel like I could be friends with in real life. That is what I'd like people to feel about me. I don't have a big fancy house, but I do have a lovely home. I am a regular Mom, with the same struggles as so many others, and sharing that can help us feel less alone. I love where I live and can help other people new to the area, or who just don't know, what wonderful things it has to offer. Especially for young families. As I work to overcome insecurities and work towards being healthy, maybe I can motivate other women going through the same path feel motivated to take time for herself. 

After being laid off, it feels like now is the time to really make an effort with this and figure out how I can use the gift of extra time to pursue this seriously. I know I have to make a plan, be consistent, and keep showing up when it feels like there is no point. I know that if I do all these things, eventually there will be traction. It seems like the universe is telling me it's my time, so I don't want to squander it! 

This blog challenge really helped show me that I can do it, it takes discipline but it can be done if I stick to a plan. So that is what I'm going to do moving forward. I don't want to keep waiting, and talking myself out of pursuing this. I've been doing little by little, and feel the momentum building to keep going. It's so helpful having people in my corner supporting me, and encouraging me to go for it. 

So, in response to today's prompt, I'm not waiting anymore! Thank you so much for joining me and supporting me by reading. I will start posting next week with content I have planned that fits into the categories I shared above. If you ever love a post or think of someone else who might enjoy reading, I'd love for you to share. 

See you back here for the final day of the challenge tomorrow, Day 31!
