It can be so easy to look around at other people, and think about what we should be doing, rather than what works for us. Today I’m reminding you that it’s okay to go at your own pace.

Episode transcript:

Good morning, daily peppers. And a very happy Tuesday to you. The daily pet is here as always to kick off your day with a compassionate bang. And today, I simply wanna remind you that it is okay to go at your own pace. Here's the thing. It is all too easy to compare ourselves to other people and what they're doing, but those people are not us. You could have a 100 people in a very similar life situation with the same day ahead of them, and how they approach a day is gonna be completely different. The same way as you could ask a 100 people to write a story with the exact same characters going through the exact same things, and they would all be wildly different.

We all have different flavors of hard, and we all have wildly different circumstances. And things that might feel really easy to us might be really hard for other people and vice versa. And your own pace might differ on different days as well. The same way as we all have different yesterdays and we all have different tomorrows. I think a lot starts to change when we accept that we don't go the same pace as everybody else. Our lives and our days don't look the same. So to compare them would be to make an unfair comparison and to listen to the pace we actually need to go at could make a really big difference. Now as always, so many of these things are much easier said than done, And sometimes it can be really frustrating, which is a massive understatement to have to go at a slower or a faster pace than you would like to go at.

So give yourself all of the grace, do it at your own pace, and try and remove the whole failing or succeeding thing from the entire equation. For example, being a morning person does not make you a more morally superior person, the same way as having a chronic illness certainly does not make you less than. So here's to honoring where you're at. Here's to really trying to go at your own pace today. And here's to finding some unexpected joy along the way. I'll see you tomorrow.
