Balancing the Mental State
I joined WA 17 days ago. I have been very busy working on my new website, clarifying what kind of content I want, completing training classes and most of all learning a lot. The hard work and dedication paid off, my website has been indexed in Google and it appears in Yahoo and Bing searches.
What an exciting journey this has been so far. The training provided at WA is amazing. I have been able to learn everything mostly from the classes provided withing the WA platform but there is a learning curve as I’m assimilating new terms, strategies, etc.
The new component that I need to figure out right now is the mental state of my mind. As my mind is constantly thinking about the new website, new ideas, new content, etc., I realized that I do not give it time to rest. Even if I consciously make the decision to take some time to myself to relax, I usually get some new idea in my head and next thing I know, I am researching the idea instead of relaxing.
I do believe that I need to find the balance otherwise I will burn out very fast. There are few things that I started doing to help with that.
- - I carry a small notebook with me so that I can write down ideas as they appear
- - I set a timer for 20-30 mins meditation and do not move regardless of how badly I want to
- - I break down big tasks into smaller ones and work on completing those
I would love to hear how other people find the balance and prevent mental fatigue.

Hello Anna!
And congratulation that Google already indexes you.
And yes, please take your balance; you always have your schedule by yourself in regards to the training, take your time. All of us have that experience; we need to know our capability, and we have to adjust if needed. Thank you for sharing.Good luck!
All the best,
Joyce
Thank you Joyce. It's good to know that I'm not the only one and that other people are experiencing this as well.
Hello Anna,
Yes, I understand you very well. If we just started, especially the training, we need to focus and need to be determined. But as I said, we need to know also our limit, not too much we think to rest sometimes and then come back. As long as we are moving forward to reach our certain goals... You can do it!
I always put in my mind if others can do it, why can't I. But be wise not to hurt yourself. We need to love our work, not to hate.
Good luck! And God bless!
Best wishes,
Joyce

Hello Anna. Thank you for this post. I think it's very important to pace yourself and when you first begin, your mind can run away with you as everything is so new - the learning, WP, the community and trying to challenge yourself to get it all done. Carrying a notebook to record your thoughts and ideas is excellent. You're already doing the right things - meditate, take time to calm your mind and write like crazy when you need to 😂
You'll figure it out! It's a process like anything else. Good luck!
