Every once in a while, I find myself feeling stuck. I can notice the upward momentum in the lives of others around me but sometimes I can’t seem to see my own. Is it that I’m not evolving? When I find myself feeling this way, I first recognize that it’s a feeling and my feelings aren’t always valid. Next, I take to journaling and prayer. I make a list of all the things that I’ve accomplished within a twelve month period. This helps me to see my progression.

I can remember doubting myself some time last year and then I had to put ink to paper and realize that I’d started a notarial business and completed my paralegal certificate from Auburn University. Both not so small things. I have to admit that the Suits series may have had a little something to do with that last one. After I’ve written down some things, I encourage myself and then pray about what’s next. Sometimes our goals don’t feel like accomplishments because we haven’t balanced our giving. So although what I’ve accomplished may be used in the form of service, that wasn’t the initial intent.

The next time that you find yourself feeling a little despondent, try those two things. I hope this helps.
