words for a twenty -something feeling behind

thoughts from a twenty-something for a twenty-something

I feel behind all the time.

I feel lost.

I feel like I lost a year of my life.

Plans cancelled.

Progress slowed.

My to do list gets longer and and ta da list is stagnant.

I get anxious on days off because I don’t feel like I’m being productive.

I get anxious when all I do is work and then I see people relaxing and I feel exhausted.

I know a lot of people in my age group feel me on this.

I recently said “everyone’s measure of success is different.”

And yes, I believe that. I KNOW that.

But do I always remember that? No.

So here’s a couple reminders if you feel behind, anxious, lost, or any other synonym:

• everyone’s measure of success is different

• other people are feeling this, it’s not just you

• it’s okay to unfollow accounts, groups, anything that causes you unnecessary stress or jealous thoughts

• don’t give up

let’s try to feel better ✌🏼

try to define what success means to you… what do you want to accomplish? how do you want to feel? what do want your days to look like? what are small steps you can celebrate along the way?
