Day 79 of 90: Sitting With My Thoughts

Day 79 wasn’t loud.

There were no big events, no major milestones.

It was simply a day filled with deeper thoughts.

And sometimes, those are the most powerful days of all.

When the Mind Slows Down

Today, I found myself thinking more than usual.

Not overthinking.

Not worrying.

Just… reflecting.

About life.

About where I am.

About where I’m going.

It felt like my mind wanted quiet space to process everything that has been unfolding over the past few weeks.

The Human Side of Growth

Growth often looks inspiring from the outside.

Discipline.

Action.

Confidence.

But there is another side to it.

The silent questioning.

The moments of doubt.

The wondering if you are doing enough—or doing it right.

Today, I allowed those thoughts to exist without fighting them.

Because being human means thinking deeply sometimes.

It means feeling uncertain and hopeful at the same time.

Conversations With Myself

I asked myself quiet questions:

Am I truly aligned with what I want?

Am I being honest with myself?

What kind of life am I building day by day?

The answers didn’t arrive instantly.

But the act of asking felt important.

Mindfulness helped me sit with these thoughts instead of rushing to silence them.

Accepting the In-Between

Today felt like an “in-between” space.

Not the beginning.

Not the breakthrough.

Just the middle of becoming.

And I realised something gentle:

It’s okay not to have everything figured out.

It’s okay to sit in reflection.

It’s okay to pause and think deeply about your own life.

That is not weakness.

That is awareness.

What Day 79 Taught Me

• Deep thinking is part of growth

• Questioning myself doesn’t mean I’m lost

• Reflection creates clarity over time

• It’s okay to sit in the “in-between” stage of life

Closing Reflection

Day 79 reminded me that I am human before anything else.

A human who dreams.

A human who questions.

A human who is still learning.

And today, instead of pushing my thoughts away, I simply sat with them.

Sometimes, that is the most mindful thing I can do. 🤍

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! 💛
