When You Think You’re Falling Behind

Lately, I’ve been wrestling with a familiar feeling—like I’m behind. Behind in business, behind in life, behind in getting my energy back…all this while going rough a rough patch in my personal life.

So I did what a good introvert club card holder always does when feeling off: I got quiet. No scrolling, no to-do list. Just me, some tea, and a book I keep coming back to—The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest.

Somewhere in that stillness, I landed on day 231. And this line hit hard:

“Sometimes, when it seems like you are falling behind with the outside world, you are actually coming into alignment with your internal one…”

I won’t post the whole page here (because copyright law is still a thing), but if you’ve ever stared down a plan that didn’t work out, this one’s for you.

That quote reminded me of something I forget often: not everything that looks like failure is actually failure. Sometimes it’s just life nudging you away from what’s not working—even if you can’t see it yet.

I’ve spent the past few months feeling like I should be “further ahead.” But when I look closely, every delay, every unexpected plot twist, has brought me closer to a version of my business and life that fits better. One that doesn’t drain me. One that lets me show up as I am—without forcing energy I don’t have.

If you’re feeling stuck or off-track right now, you’re not broken. You’re probably just being rerouted too.

I highly recommend reading The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest. It’s not a linear read—it’s 365 days of insights that hit differently depending on what you’re going through.
