The Waiting Game

I honestly don’t know why I gave this post this title... Maybe because waiting feels like a game to me. I mean, you know what you want and when you want it but you just got to work, wait and see how it goes.

I’ve always been an anxious person. I’m anxious when I’m happy about something; I’m anxious when I’m worried about something. I can’t help it. Over time, I’ve mentally scolded myself for letting anxiety get the better part of me. It keeps me up at night and messes up my face with several breakouts! Sleepless nights I can deal with, acne, I can’t! Lol, I’m kidding. Say no to insomnia and acne!

It’s a new year, I made some changes and improvements on my life and curbing my anxiety problems is one of them. Guys, it’s hard to wait. It’s hard to sit back, relax and trust your process.

I feel like I’m rambling a little... bear with me. The gist is this: waiting is not easy. It feels like a game of hide and seek. You’re pretending not to worry, whilst waiting patiently (or not) for results. The results are somewhat hidden, and you’re somewhat seeking.

Worrying about anything at all won’t make the results any different. You know what will be different? You. Physically and emotionally. And not in a good way. Don’t hurt yourself by worrying. Worrying gets you nowhere. Put in work and wait for results!

Love, Tobi.

hm basically, you're doing it all right. Thinking about what might be coming is like dry-swimming. It's not the real thing, but at least you thought about it intensely;-)

You’re right! It’s like dry-swimming

Waiting isn't easy, especially when you want something to happen before a particular time. The anxiety is also something else, Like, let what you want just come already! But then, we learn during the wait and I think that's the beauty of the wait.

The anxiety is the hardest part of it all. But like you said, we learn during the wait, and that’s the beauty of it
