“Embracing Life: My Journey from Survival Mode to Living”

Finally, living after months of going through the motions trying to survive.

“Living in the moment”

Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions to survive? You know you want more for your life and future, but life happens, and you’re left with questions. This is exactly how I’ve been feeling for the last several months. I know social media makes life look glamorous, but navigating your thirties is hard! I am blessed and grateful for all the opportunities God has granted me, and I never want to take them for granted!

In the last few months, I started to feel more homesick, which is something I did not feel the first two years abroad. This was a new emotion surfacing, and I’ve been trying to find the why behind it. I haven’t fully answered my question of why, but every day I’m striving to get answers.

I decided to take a weekend trip to Oman very last minute. Literally, booked the flight the day before. There’s so much to see in Oman, but I wanted a slow-paced, relaxing trip. I know I could’ve done the same thing in the UAE, but I honestly just needed a change of scenery.

Every day, it’s a constant battle within to get up and make the best out of the day. However, this weekend, I chose to do what’s best for me, and I’m so proud of myself for that. Sometimes, we can be our biggest critics, and I’m learning to be nicer to myself! So, if you are struggling with moving from surviving to living, showing up as your best self daily, or navigating life when you’re unsure, you are seen and not alone! The enemy wants us to give up, but we must keep going! You got this!

If you made it to the end leave me a comment and tell me what are your plans for self-care this month.

Until next time readers! Hope you enjoyed reading!😘
