Day 85 of 90: Quiet Clarity

Day 85 didn’t feel loud. It felt clear.

After a few days of choosing peace as my priority, something shifted inside me today. Not like a sudden breakthrough – more like a fog lifting. I didn’t magically have every answer. But I could finally hear myself.

When the Noise Settles, the Truth Shows Up

I realised how often my mind stays busy just to avoid feeling.

Busy to avoid uncertainty.

Busy to avoid the discomfort of “not knowing.”

But the past few days of calm did something important.

They gave my thoughts room to land.

And today, I noticed:

• what I actually care about

• what drains me

• what I’ve been postponing

• what I’m ready to take seriously

It wasn’t dramatic. It was honest.

The Human Part: Still Doubt, Still Hope

Clarity doesn’t erase doubt.

I still had it.

Little questions showed up:

What if I can’t keep this momentum?

What if I start and don’t finish?

What if I disappoint myself again?

But something was different.

I didn’t panic.

I just noticed the doubt – like a passing cloud – and returned to what I know:

I don’t need to be fearless.

I just need to be willing.

Real Alignment Looks Simple

Alignment today looked like small decisions:

• saying no to what felt unnecessary

• doing one task fully instead of ten things halfway

• choosing rest before I became irritated

• bringing my attention back when it scattered

Nothing extraordinary.

But it felt like self-respect.

What Day 85 Taught Me

• Peace makes space for clarity

• Doubt can exist without controlling me

• Small choices are where alignment actually lives

• When I slow down, I hear myself better

Closing Reflection

Day 85 reminded me that clarity isn’t something I force.

It’s something that arrives when I stop fighting the moment.

Today, I felt a little more grounded in who I am.

A little more honest about what I want.

Not rushed.

Not pressured.

Just clear – quietly.

And that felt like progress. 🤍

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! 💛
