Learning isnโ€™t Linear!

Hey there, wonderful people! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿพ

New year, new vibes, am i right? Time's flown, and here we are, diving into a realm of new possibilities, growth, and exciting experiences. It's the era of 'new' โ€“ new goals, new chances, new ideas, and a boatload of new learnings! ๐ŸŒŸ

Like many of you, I've set amazing and ambitious goals for this year. To conquer them, I've realized the key is to crank up my effort and dive deeper into the ocean of knowledge. But hold up โ€“ after scribbling down my fantastic goals on New Year's Eve, a sneaky wave of anxiety crashed in a few days later. Why? I pondered. We're in a new year, pumped up with goals โ€“ where's the anxiety coming from???!

This anxiety didn't stand a chance. I hit pause, had a chat with myself, and shut it down. Imposter syndrome? Nah, not today! I reminded myself of the journey โ€“ breaking into tech, becoming a ServiceNow and frontend developer at the ripe age of 19 all under a year. Yep, that's me โ€“ 'THAT GIRL'! ๐Ÿ’ช

But hey, I get it. New years can bring a mix of doubts. Some might think it's a replay of last year, no progress in sight. Well, let me tell you, those thoughts are as real as unicorns ๐Ÿฆ„ . It's cool to feel them, just not cool to dwell. Been there, done that. Remind yourself of the journey, pat yourself on the back, and embrace the strength that's brought you this far.๐Ÿง—๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

Now, back to my awesome self, ready to tackle goals head-on. I'm diving deep into ServiceNow development, all things software development, and beyond!

And here's a little boost for you too! Dive into the serene world of meditation with frequency music, including 528hz healing frequencies, 639 Hz Frequency, or explore all 9 Solfeggio frequencies.๐ŸŒŠ You can find these on YouTube channels like Meditative Mind:https://youtube.com/@meditativemind?si=XrhgilXRpnpqE-Uf or on websites like Frequency Music | Join the Family.

Need a mental pick-me-up? Tune in to uplifting podcasts like Mindful.org https://www.mindful.org, take refreshing walks, indulge in soulful journaling, and don't forget the power of a good conversation. These are my secret weapons to keep those good vibes flowing.๐ŸŒŸ
Sharing resources and encouragement is what keeps the positivity train flowing, so feel free to share your goals and words of motivation.!๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

Cheers to an epic year ahead! ๐Ÿš€
