Hug Abuela with Pabel Martinez

This week's been a rollercoaster. Caught myself getting judgmental after an anxiety nap, questioning the realness of my feelings. It's been hard, honestly feeling a bit emotional and just craving a hug from my Abuela. Despite trying to stick to my ideal morning routine—waking up early, hydrating, journaling, hitting the gym—I've been thrown off, especially when my schedule doesn't go as planned.

Ironically, marking my three-year anniversary out of corporate life made me reflect on the importance of routine for my mental health. Yet, I've struggled with self-doubt, especially on days I felt unproductive. A successful speaking engagement gave me a moment of validation, reminding me why I do what I do, despite the internal battles with imposter syndrome.

I've realized it's crucial to celebrate the wins, no matter how small, and change the narrative I tell myself. Taking care of my mental health is essential, not a sign of weakness. It's about being kind to ourselves, recognizing our accomplishments, and understanding our worth isn't tied to productivity. As I look forward to the launch of the Plurawl app, it's a reminder to stay true to ourselves and cherish those moments of joy and validation.
