April Findings

I didn’t have many April findings, but I had a few lessons learned nonetheless.

No matter how finite time is, there will always be enough time to get the important stuff done.

It truly does work itself out in the end every single time, one way or another.

I still take entirely too long to make decisions.

I try to analyze my choices by thinking of ‘what if’ scenarios. This thinking sends me into a spiral–an overthinking spiral. I honestly just need to commit to a decision and deal with the aftermath or consequence as it comes.

I care entirely too much about what others think (especially if it comes from someone I value).

I’m on this constant journey of self-improvement and when I’m criticized about something that actually took me years to work through and ultimately love about myself, it stings. It opens a tiny space in my mind to say, “you still aren’t good enough yet.” I know this isn’t the case, but it does make me question myself and my circle.

Change is hard, but necessary.

This is how (I) grow. This is how (I) learn new skills. This is where (I) build character.

When the opportunity presents itself to try something new, go for it.

I mentioned awhile ago that I was done with travel nursing. I was done with nightshift, feeling alone on the road, and overall unfulfillment. Well, in the midst of trying to aggressively hunt for jobs, taking a step away from nursing altogether and working at Trader Joe’s, to then going back to travel nursing, I’ve finally gotten a job opportunity I just couldn’t pass up. It has been a struggle of a journey and it’s taken an entire year to get to this point I’m at now. I’m moving to Nashville!
