Hi there! So glad you are here! I’m Sinem!
If you find this blog, I suspect you can relate to at least one of the below experiences:
- You feel dissappointed by yourself,
- You want to change but you are not really willing to put the effort or you wait for the perfect time to take action,
- Go to a room in the house to get something but forgot what you came for 🙂
- Hear people talk about purpose, calling etc. and feel frustrated thinking you will never find it,
- You are all for women empowerment, career and stuff, but secretly, you feel anxious and full of self doubt,
- Wonder if there is a better way of navigating this life.
Last year, after going through an anxiety episode followed by depression at the age of 25, I became obsessed with how my mind works.
At first, it was a perfectionist, left brainer approach to understand why I was weak, what went wrong, why I failed myself. With threaphy, I realized that perspective was one of the things why I felt so stressful and drained all the time. Ever since, I am in a constant discovery about things like self-love, self-compassion, positive psychology, meditation, self-coaching, self-growth…
Being an engineer, my pursuit of finding a better way to navigate my life focuses more on proven, scientic ways of building habits, developing mindsets etc. I am sharing my deeply authentic struggles and journey with personal essays. I am a work-in-progress so this blog actually follows me in my journey of embracing my imperfections. I, in no way, claim I am expert of any kind.
I just wonder, how I was such a self-destructive perfectionist and never really realized it until my body was like, “No, we can’t continue like this!”. I wonder, if I stumbled upon a blog or had a community around me that influenced me towards an accepting mindset towards myself, would I still had that anxiety episode?
Now, all I want to do is to reach you and potentially create a community that would support each other on their journey of self growth.
