Sunday Notes: The In Between

January is a distant memory and summer isn't close enough. So where are you actually at right now?

There’s this weird stretch that happens every year right around now where the new year energy is completely gone, summer isn’t close enough to feel exciting, and you’re just kind of... existing. Doing the thing. Getting through the week.

And sometimes that’s totally fine! But sometimes it’s also a sign that you’ve got some stuff to look at. Things you’re pushing down, things you’re not saying, things you keep meaning to move on but haven’t.

So we’re doing a real check-in today.

Let’s start with the truth.

• Where in your life are you actually making progress, even if it doesn’t feel like it from the inside?

• What are you pretending is fine right now? Like actually, what is it?

• What’s something you keep almost saying out loud but swallow back down every time? Write it here. The journal won’t tell anyone.

Now let’s do something with it.

Because awareness is step one but you also get to decide what happens next.

• What’s a version of yourself you keep putting off? What’s actually standing in the way, be specific.

• Where are you choosing what’s comfortable over what you actually want?

• If you stopped waiting for the “right time” and just decided to move forward right now, what would that first step look like?

The in between is real and it’s valid and also you get to decide how you show up in it. Don’t just coast through... Use it.
