I know it's only Wednesday but it's been an insane week here so far. I have good news and bad news. The Bad news is that's it's only Wednesday and not Friday--oh well. The Good news is that a volcano that hasn't erupted in two centuries blew and shut down air travel and made nearly any other alternate travel throughout Europe near impossible. Some say it could be two months to get back from Europe to the states. My boss is in Europe right now. Just sayin'...
I had my session with my Life Coach Michelle Ward on Sunday. Did I accomplish all I set out to last week? Almost. I was still procrastinating on something lame, that I know I need to do and the more I procrastinate the more stressed out I become and the more lame I feel. It's just a mental cycle of lameness that I have put myself through. To make myself feel a wee bit better, I substituted not doing what I should have with another thing I had also been putting off and well at least I felt like SOMETHING got accomplished. Baby steps people, baby steps.
For those that want to know some of the things I DID accomplish I will share. I gave over the Besotted Brand website design to be coded. It has been way too long in the making and I figure at this point I would turn it over and once it is up and running we can work out the kinks together (you and me). I know you are good like that and will be happy to let me know what's not working for you, so I am feeling less stressed on that front. I put a list together of what products I will be launching with Besotted first. I was trying to launch everything at once and well, that's a little unrealistic so I am breaking down the offerings and if I have to launch with one or two items then so be it. You see how simple these steps are? Can I tell you for over a year now I have not been able to figure these things out for myself? It really helps to talk it out with someone else, just voicing these things out loud has helped me with my focus and to get me back on track. I was starting to feel too tired to move after work let alone be creative and I am slowly getting myself out of that state. I am just breaking it down into easier "bites" of time rather than stuffing it all in my gullet at once. It's working for me so far. A couple weeks ago I received an email from a reader Suzonne S. with some sage advice and I asked her if I could pass it along to you, which she kindly agreed. It has been helpful to me and maybe it will be helpful to you as well:
"My advice - keep making lists. Make a list of every single thing
that comes to mind when you're thinking of your perfect life/job.
Don't think about how it fits together yet, just free associate.
Later, look at that list and start creating your blueprint. This is
your wake-up call. I can't wait to see what glorious things grow from
this moment."
Thank you again Suzonne. If you dear reader have any advice for myself and the many others that are in my position please feel free to share either in the comments or via email. If I try it and it works for me I am happy to share.
