Video Summary - I Switched from Coding to UX Design (No Regrets)

Key wellness & mindset strategies (dealing with self-doubt and uncertainty)

Normalize field changes: If your interests or strengths don’t match the career path you started, it’s completely normal to shift fields.
Separate “not meant for me” from “I’m failing”: She describes feeling like she “can’t do it / not good enough,” but her conclusion is that the difficulty may be a misfit, not a permanent identity flaw.
Rest without quitting: When you feel tired/overwhelmed or the work becomes boring in the middle, take a break—but don’t give up.
Come back to your work: After rest, return to learning/building rather than abandoning the direction entirely.
Build yourself repeatedly: Even while feeling incapable, she “comes back” to her learning and keeps progressing.

Explore based on what you enjoy and can do for a long time:
- Ask: What do I enjoy? What can I sit with for a while?
Don’t force a hard track if you lack fit:
- Her experience: HTML/CSS felt manageable, but JavaScript became mentally draining/complex.
- Lesson: If after trying multiple times you realize the field isn’t for you, leave it and search again.
Use real-life project building as the next step:
- She emphasizes moving from theory/videos to practical, real-life projects (though she notes her own struggle here at times).
Wait to “jump” until your studies/prior commitments allow it:
- She delayed content/video creation during exams/practicals to stay focused.
Choose roles aligned with your strengths:
- She identifies her strength as creativity and user/problem-solving, not heavy technical coding.
- This leads her toward UI/UX design, which can still relate to websites without deep coding.

Try → hit difficulty → assess fit → rest → continue learning (or pivot)

If the field is not meant for you: don’t keep forcing it forever—pivot to what fits your strengths.
If you still want it: don’t quit just because it becomes hard or boring—rest and return.
