Accepting What Is: Conquering Goals

When I first got my diagnosis I couldn’t see a clear path to my goals anymore. There was so much that I wanted to do and I felt like I wasn’t ever going to be able to achieve all of those things and maintain a healthy physical balance of work and stress. I am a go-getter who gives 110%, unfortunately some days I barely have 30% to begin with, let alone to give to something else.

Small steps. That’s what has gotten me through, that and a lot of therapy. I learned coping mechanisms for the anxiety about the non-productivity of my hard days. I found a way to prioritize my health and after two years I have been able to start working on these goals again. Not that they are the same, everything in my life looks different including what I want for my future. But now I’m ready to get back on top, shoot for the stars and hopefully land amongst them.
