Committing to Confidence - a Guest Blog Series by Katelyn Andrist

This is a guest blog from Katelyn Andrist, embracing her SII: Commit to Confidence: Envisioning A More Confident You! I hope you enjoy it.

I feel sad. I feel lonely. I feel misunderstood. I feel like I am done here. I feel like I am growing…..

Without feeling empty inside, we can’t have room for new things to bloom. When we see an empty space, we immediately want to fill it up with bigger, better, and stronger things. Now - this is the time to grow and fill your empty space with new things. At your lowest, you will feel like you are the problem. You start to blame yourself, and you let others affect your light in this world. Stop. Take a deep breath. You are not the problem.. The problem is you have outgrown the life you had created around you. Let go, and stop trying to fix everything around you. “It is not your responsibility to help people grow” - Biggest life lesson I’ve ever learned. You can not force or entice others to grow with you when they do not DESERVE to be in your circle. Read that again. The key word is deserve. You are entitled to learn, heal, be loved, and grow - sometimes this personal development will happen without those people. Open your heart and take action. Take your power and peace back. YOU have the power to create the future you want and deserve. I pray you find people, love, places, and things who promote this growth for you. Help grow you into the person you are meant to be. 

Trust in yourself. 

Trust in God. 

Say this with me, 

I love myself.

I am growing, 

I am healing. 

I am making mistakes. 

I am a human being. 

Fill your empty, darkest, and lowest room full of love, light, and peace."
