Committing to Confidence - a Blog Series by Katelyn Andrist

New month, new goals, and a new mindset. 


This month I am trying to take more breaks and resting points for myself. I love constantly being on the go but lately I have been stopping to just enjoy life. The days turn into weeks then months and boom a year has gone by. I want to live my life to the fullest impacting the community, myself, and making a difference in this world. I will continue to use my voice and push myself in ways that make me uncomfortable. 


 In the month of September I want to address my emotions instead of pushing them down. Sometimes my emotions make me feel uncomfortable and I don't want to talk about them. Not this month. I am going to do better with handling my emotions in a healthy way. Creating growth with new levels of myself being unfolded. 


If you are struggling with your emotions please know you are not alone. It is very difficult to understand what you are feeling, let alone speak it out loud.


Here is my plan for when I am feeling certain ways in September and how I plan to express them: 


overthinking —> write 

anxious —> meditate 

tired —> power nap 

sad —> exercise 

stressed —> walk 

angry —> music 

feeling down —> reduce screen time 

burnt out —> read 


You are human. You do not have to always be strong and understand what is happening. Give yourself some grace this month. 


Wishing you a month full of acceptance, uncomfortable growth, and learning to love.
