Day 74 of 90: Continuing Anyway

Yesterday felt quieter – but steadier.

After the honesty of Day 73, Day 74 arrived without drama. There were no big realisations, no sudden breakthroughs. Just a calm decision to continue.

And sometimes, that was enough.

Showing Up Without Expectation

Yesterday, I didn’t wake up feeling highly motivated.

I didn’t feel inspired or energised.

But I showed up anyway.

I practiced mindfulness not because it felt easy, but because it had become something I return to like a safe place. Even when the mind felt busy, even when the body felt tired.

There was strength in this kind of showing up.

Learning to Trust the Process

Day 74 reminded me that growth doesn’t always feel visible.

Some days I felt like I was moving forward.

Some days I felt stuck.

But consistency was working quietly in the background.

Mindfulness taught me to trust this process—to believe that every small effort mattered, even when I couldn’t immediately see the results.

Being Kinder to Myself

Yesterday, I noticed a shift.

Instead of criticising myself for not doing “enough,” I chose kindness.

I allowed myself to:

• move at my own pace

• rest when needed

• let go of unrealistic expectations

• appreciate effort over outcome

That gentleness felt healing.

Moving Forward, Gently but Surely

As I reflected on my journey – mindfulness, career growth, personal evolution – I realised I didn’t need to rush.

I just needed to stay present.

To keep learning.

To keep trying.

One mindful step at a time.

What Day 74 Taught Me

• Progress doesn’t always announce itself

• Showing up quietly is still powerful

• Self kindness supports consistency

• Trust grows when effort is steady

Closing Reflection

This day wasn’t extraordinary.

But it was sincere.

And sincerity is what carried me forward.

I continued.

Not perfectly.

Not forcefully.

Just honestly.

One day at a time. 🤍

Hi, I'm Anu! Originally from the beautiful hills of Uttarakhand (India), I now call Australia home. Moving countries wasn’t an easy journey – it came with its own set of challenges, goodbyes, and growing pains. But it also opened doors to new opportunities, friendships, and personal transformation. This blog is my little space to reflect, express, and share stories from everyday life — whether it's about adjusting to a new culture, lessons from motherhood, reflections on family back home, or just navigating this ever-changing world as a migrant woman. I believe growth happens when we step out of our comfort zones. And even though I miss my roots deeply, I’ve found joy in creating a new version of "home" here in Australia. When I’m not writing, I love relaxing with a coffee, diving into a good book, or enjoying moments with family and friends. ! Thanks for stopping by – I hope you find something here that resonates with you. Feel free to say hello or share your own story — I'd love to connect! 💛
