WHEN ANXIETY PUTS US BEHIND...
One of the most painful things about anxiety is that it can put us way behind our adult peers... :(
We can find ourselves "late" in our...
- Studies...
- Work...
- Dating...
- Living situation...
- Financial situation...
- Etc...
The fact that we don't follow the typical adult timeline can make us feel what I call the third wave of shame...
We feel shame for being behind on the timeline of life...
Due to anxiety...
I finished my University degree at 27...
I started dating when I was 28...
And I didn't figured out what I really wanted to do until I was 35: Become a Coach...
36 seemed ancient. I was OLD...
But then the weirdest thing happened... In the Coaching Academy, I was one of the YOUNGEST students there... The majority of the students were in their 50's and 60's...
It turned out... I was YOUNG?!
I was finally EARLY at something?! LOL!
It was by going from "late" to "early" that I realized that THERE IS NO TIMELINE TO LIFE...
We all do things on our own time...
We can go from "early" to "late"... and "late" to "early"...
We all have our own path to follow...
What if NO ONE is early or late?
What if there is no timeline to follow?
Who cares if we are so-called "late"...?
The question is...
What would we like to do now? <3
To your Happy Life,
