As I step into a new month, I find myself looking back at February—a month that tested me in ways I wasn’t prepared for. It was a month of overthinking, self-doubt, and constant worry. I struggled to find a job, and with each passing day, the weight of my dwindling savings and overdue bills made it harder to breathe. The fear of losing my home loomed over me, and no matter how much I tried to stay positive, the anxiety always found a way to creep back into my brain.

I spent countless nights lost in thought and lack of sleep, wondering if I would ever catch a break. Every rejection, every unanswered application, and every bill notice felt like a confirmation of my worst fears. It was exhausting, both mentally and emotionally. I felt stuck in a loop of worry—overanalyzing my situation instead of taking a step back to remind myself that tough times don’t last forever and this is not the first time I have been in this place and knowing it has all worked out before.

But as February ended, so did that chapter of uncertainty. I finally found a job. And while that brings an immense sense of relief, I know my journey isn’t over. Getting a job solves one problem, but it doesn’t fix my mindset overnight. If I let stress and doubt consume me again, I won’t truly be moving forward—I’ll just be repeating the same cycle in a different form and that is a cycle I need to break and its hard to do that when I only have myself to rely on.

March is here, and with it comes a chance to reset, to grow, and to trust that things will work out as long as I keep putting in the effort. I have a lot of work to do—not just in my new role but also within myself. I need to continue building resilience, practicing gratitude, and reminding myself that I am more than my struggles. I may not be exactly where I want to be yet, but I have a roof over my head, I have a source of income again, and I have the opportunity to keep pushing forward and see where this new opportunity tales me. That alone is something to be grateful for.

So this month, I choose to focus on progress over perfection, faith over fear, and gratitude over worry. March is my reminder that even when things feel like they’re falling apart, they can also be falling into place more than I realize.

I made a lot of mistakes last month that kept me from my over all goals and I need to find a positive outlet to put those overthinking and overwhelming thoughts of negativity and “what could happen” thoughts. So, here’s to a new month, a fresh mindset and the strength to keep going.

Keep fighting!!
