The concept of guilt-free rest is something I have been reflecting on a lot lately. It feels so good to disconnect for a bit and not feel the need to defend my decision to have a little down time.

Absolutely Simmone!

I am still working on improving my relationship with rest, and not feeling guilty for taking breaks has definitely been so challenging to accept. But I love how it nourishes my body. Rest is a necessity, it isn't a reward!

Thank you Marie!💛

As much as I worked hard, one of the exams didn't go as well as I had expected. But my father said, "It's important to have every kind of experience in life. You don't always succeed and it's okay." Honestly the best advice I could've received!

Indeed, beautiful words of your father, something to live by! Will you take another shot at the exams? For what are they (if you want to share ofcourse)?

The results will be released in July, so for now I am hoping that I did enough to pass, there’s still hope!

I’ve already passed 7 out of 13 so there’s no going back now. If the outcome is not as expected, then we get back up and try again. 🤝

It’s such a challenging journey and experiencing failure is so common in actuarial exams, but it has taught me so many valuable lessons so far!

I have so far shied away from notes as I find them a bit scary, love reading yours though and maybe I need to become a bit braver here.

Even with the best will in the world I can't always stick to the same day and weekly rhythm of writing and I am allowing myself not to become too bogged down by it.

Good luck with your exams xx

Thankyou for your lovely words!

I say you go for it, Notes is a lovely way to connect with so many new readers and writers ✨

And the best part about this platform is that most people support your work with a genuine intent. Don’t think any other platform is offering this level of purity on the internet at the moment!

Notes scare me, tbh. I never know what to share and how so it doesn't look too smart or too stiff. Maybe that's because I still have some limiting beliefs about me... Thanks Mansi for sharing. Your Notes are very inspirational.

Thank you Sylwia!

I feel like Notes can definitely be a scary place as you are exposing yourself to so much more visibility than sending out normal newsletters. But it’s so worth it!

I started sharing with no expectations and some of them really connected with the readers. I’d say it’s definitely worth it shot!✨
