Hello,

Firstly thanks for this – I’m 25 and going through something similar this year. Just slightly different as I usually thrive off change. I now feel like I am stuck and stagnating! I keep getting overwhelmed by everything and I put so much strain on myself to accomplish goals etc. But it feels like I repeatedly don’t seem to meet my goals or move forward. I also left my last job that I wasn’t that invested in and now I’m in a job I feel there’s pressure that I can’t leave, but I don’t love the work and it’s a really lonely job and I don’t really like being on my own as I get so caught in my own head. I also split up with my ex for 4 years last year and now I’m seeing someone new. I thought I would want all this change and my life would improve but now I’m just getting anxious that it’s not going how I want it to. I’m getting into meditation, manifesting and positive thinking – which is helping so much, however, I do get annoyed with myself when I feel it it’s ‘working’ for me etc and keep falling back into negative thinking or being overly critical. Anyway, I’ve been trying to make sense of this and what I have realised is that this is a weird time in our lives as so much is shifting and there is added pressure to get to where we want to be or where we imagined. Please just trust your own timeline, everyone’s life moves at a different pace and good things are coming. Just be kind to yourself and each day make a conscious effort to get back on track (even if it’s a tiny steps, it will make you feel like there is progress) also, you aren’t alone – I know twenty somethings who feel the exact same, I also know some that really FELT like this but given time and patience and positivity they are now where they want to be. I find just being mindful and grateful for what I have and where I am helps a lot and reassure myself I’m on the right path.

I hope this helps!
