I hope I did this all correctly š
Day 1 ā Struggles & Wins (get real)
5 Struggles
- Ā I struggle financially, I have a hell of a time keeping my finances in order I feel like Iām constantly on the run for whatās going to pay my bills next, living paycheck to paycheck has really affected my self esteem and my ability to explore and experience new things
- Believing in my self is one thing that isnāt to easy for me. And itās weird because I havenāt completely dropped the ball on everything Iāve ever done in life but there constantly that voice in the back of my head that tells me the million reasons why what Iām doing isnāt a good idea or Iām not doing it right, itās a voice that pulls me down when I try to motivate my self to keep going
- I over think about everything Iām constantly controlled by what the outcome might be instead of just living in the moment , I find myself zoning out thinking about the worst out come of the situation Iām in or simply not allowing my self to be fully immersed because Iām to worried about what might happen good or bad.
- Thereās a side of me that doesnāt feel like Iām fully providing for my family I have a step son who is 5 and my fiancĆ©. Every step I take is to propel this family forward into a better future financially and mentally ,I had a tough time growing up as most did but I cannot imagine making my family go thru a life like I had but every day thereās that voice that says Iām not doing good enough or I should have done more
- I struggle to have self confidence in myself and the way I look not because Iām overweight or anything like that I just find my self disproportional Iāve tried keeping a gym schedule but I always seem to get side tracked with life and everything else going on

5 Contrasting Wins:
- Even tho finances have been a big struggle in my life right now Iāve been able to slowly put together the funds for a down payment on my first home which could create more financial problems but I feel like these opens a new path of motivation to make sure I really have my bills paid
- Self esteem has been a hard one when that voice come on in the back of my head I try to make myself remember how well I am doing , I have an amazing family and a great job that pays decent and a ton of great support around me
- Ā Overthinking has been a pretty big part of who I am a really big way this has helped me is making sure that all the little details are accounted for in my life and my familyās , it allows me to keep us on schedule not for get important dates and events such as our new home that weāre buying my fiancĆ© didnāt want to check In the attic and I needed to know what was up there so I went ahead and check and we needed finding white mold š§
- My family is my biggest priority in life 90% of what I do is to make sure we as a family are safe and secure I did have the best up bringing so I am constantly on the prowl for how exactly I can be better than my parents for example it may seem dumb but I never got the option to have things that were close to my parents we never really bonded so Iām always trying to take my step son out to do fun thing like going to the park and riding bikes together
- Confidence is something Iāve always struggled with when I graduated high school. I knew that I didnāt wanna be the kid in the corner eating lunch alone Anymore so I started to look for ways to advance my social skills and my confidence and I started working in door-to-door sales and Iāve been doing that for almost 3 1/2 four years now and it is taking me great lengths I have so much confidence in myself now makes life a lot easier.
