There are times—especially during periods of transition—when we feel small. Big changes, little changes, unexpected shifts—they can all leave us feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or as if our efforts don’t matter.
In these moments of self-doubt, it helps to remember that your growth and your journey still count, even when it doesn’t feel grand or visible. Feeling “small” doesn’t mean you lack capability, worth, or impact. Often, growth comes quietly, in the background, and sometimes the most meaningful progress happens in these tender, uncertain moments.
A few gentle reminders when you’re feeling small:
-
It’s okay to feel uncertain – You don’t need to have everything figured out.
-
Even small steps matter – Progress doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.
-
You’re not alone – Reach out for support when you need it.
Feeling small is just one part of your journey—it doesn’t define your potential or your worth.
Have you ever had a time when you felt small? How did you navigate it? I’d love to hear your reflections.
