If my 20s were about
👉🏻feeling bad about who I am
👉🏻over extending myself
👉🏻 over questioning
👉🏻self doubt

My 40s are about …
✅understanding who I am and how I can support that
✅ setting appropriate boundaries that respect and honor myself and my unique being
✅ viewing the questioning as healthy rather than unhealthy behavior
✅embracing self doubt as a place to practice self compassion and as a learning tool to tell me where I need to grow

I call the 20’s the pruning decade. It’s about learning who you are and in the process beginning to shed what does not work for you. That might be friendships and bad relationships or patterns of behavior that don’t serve your higher being and purpose.

Curious if you are in your 20’s what is it you are learning about yourself or ready to let go of?!

Or if you are in your 30’s or 40’s what have you let go of from your 20’s?!

Would love to hear from you, share below! ❤️
