The biggest change in me after 28 days
Introduction
It has been 28 days since I started my side hustle.
Before I started, I was filled with anxieties like,
"Will I really be able to keep this up?"
"Can I actually do this?"
That was all I felt.
But before I knew it, 28 days had passed.
Over these 28 days, the numbers have changed a little, too.
I have 136 followers, and the number of likes has been gradually increasing.
However, looking back now, the thing that has changed the most is not the numbers, but my own mindset.
Today, I would like to write about that.
────────
At first, I was anxious about whether I could keep it up
When I first started my side hustle, everything was unknown to me.
Writing articles and posting on X were both things I was feeling my way through.
Whenever I encountered something I didn't understand, I would sometimes think,
"Maybe this really isn't for me after all."
Even though I wanted to continue, I didn't have the confidence that I could really do it every day.
────────
Continuing every day gradually became a habit
Even so, I kept going one day at a time.
"I'll write an article today, too."
As I kept posting every day with that thought in mind, writing gradually became part of my daily routine.
Things that took time at first, I learned one by one.
Even when I didn't understand something, instead of quitting immediately, I started to think,
"Let me look it up."
"Let me give it a try."
The old me might have given up the moment I didn't understand something.
────────
I started to believe that "I can do this too"
After 28 days, this is the biggest change.
Before, I thought of myself as someone who "couldn't keep things up."
But now, I have come to believe that "I can keep this up too."
Reaching 136 followers.
Receiving likes.
Getting comments on X.
Having my articles added to magazines.
Of course, those things make me happy.
But what makes me even happier is that I have become able to move forward one step at a time, even when I don't understand something.
"I did it today, too."
That accumulation is slowly building my confidence.
────────
Conclusion
28 days since starting my side hustle.
The thing that changed the most was not the numbers, but my own feelings.
I, who used to think "I won't last anyway," managed to keep going for 28 days.
There are still things I don't understand.
Even so, I think it is a major change that I have become someone who can think "let's give it a try" more than before.
Two days left until day 30.
I will continue one day at a time at my own pace, without rushing.
And when I reach day 30, I want to look back at myself and say, "You did a great job."
I will continue to move forward one step at a time.
