These are aspects of my life that have held me back, caused unnecessary stress, and hindered my growth. Join me in saying goodbye and moving forward towards 2024.
As we step into a new year, it’s time to shake off the fear of making mistakes. Many of us have spent far too long trying to please others and avoiding any mistakes along the way. But the truth is, making mistakes is a natural part of life and an essential to growing in life. We limit so much of our selves by worrying about making mistakes and it really does hold us back.

But here’s the thing – everyone makes mistakes. It’s how we learn and grow. Instead of striving for perfection, we should aim for progress. By accepting that mistakes are inevitable, we free ourselves from the fear of failure.

That we should be prettier and more aesthetically pleasing at all times. This is a big fat lie.
