Stop Feeling Guilty Because You Change Your Mind

Change is a beautiful thing.

Why do we feel guilty when we change our minds or change anything about our lives? I read an article this morning, and it hit home.

I will link her article to read a fellow author Juana Flor which I recommend.

When I read the title, I thought, how does she know? Is she inside my head? Is it AI? They know I am excellent at not following through on things!

Lately, my Spanish has been, let’s say, lackluster, and I have lost my drive to take classes. I have been in school since August 1st. To say burned out is an understatement.

I feel bad; I paid for it, need to use it, and can’t. I speak Spanish every day to my boyfriend; I am not fluent or conversational.

I am at the point of I know what the right way is, but it comes out wrong. Then I thought a baby or a toddler does not sit and learn all day long. They absorb it, so we watch movies in Spanish.
