And I’ll be the first to admit, I do this all the time too.
I can feel really good about what I’m building…and then I scroll. Or hear someone share a win. Or notice how fast it seems like everyone else is moving.
And just like that, my brain starts questioning: Am I behind? Should I be doing more? Am I missing something?
That’s usually my cue that I’ve stopped listening to my compass and started borrowing someone else’s.
Here’s what I have to remind myself (often):
Other people’s timelines are not a measuring stick for your clarity.
We don’t see:
- what season of life they’re in
- how much support they have
- what they’ve already built quietly
- or what they’re holding together behind the scenes
When I compare, my clarity gets fuzzy. When I come back to my pace, things settle again.
✨ Honoring your own pace might look like:
- finishing one thing before starting another
- choosing consistency over intensity
- needing more time, and letting that be okay
- building something sustainable instead of flashy
Slower doesn’t mean stuck. Sometimes it means rooted.
💡 Action:What’s one way you’ll honor your pace this week?
Less on your plate?
More white space?
Fewer opinions?
Drop it below. You’re not behind, you’re just building in your own rhythm. 💛
