Take A Hike!
Like many of you know, blogging could get pretty hectic at times and cause us to have a brain fart every now and then.
Sometimes it feels like we hit a brick wall and can't get back up!
The days I feel like, I go for a little hike, or maybe a little jog, and that seems to help me out.
You just have to take your mind off of blogging and get out in the world and take a breath of fresh air, and remember why you are doing this.
For me, I always dreamed of having all the time in the world to spend with my kids, and now that I have that, I want to take advantage of every second.
Make this job be fun and not something that stresses you out to where you want to give up and quit.
If you could, take a hike and enjoy the earth and what it has set fourth in front of you, clear your mind, and when you are ready, blog on and be happy.
Be happy that you found a platform that has amazing people that are willing to take their time out of their day to help you out when you need it.
A breath of fresh air is all you need to get over that brick wall or brain fart, so take some every now and then.
Happy Blogging Everyone & Have A Great Day/Night!

Well said Jaime, whenever I get stuck on a problem and find I am not making any progress. It could be writing a blog or working out how best to assist a client.
I just stop what I am working on and move on to something else. It may be a different task (the best being one I don't have to think about like shredding old documents) or as you suggest go for a walk.
It is amazing how our brain works, once we take it off the problem our sub-conscious goes to work and will often find a solution or two. These will just bubble up, the key is to record this thought when we have it.
Number of times I have found a solution to a problem, but by the time I have got home from a walk I can't quiet remember what the solution was. I know insure that I have a way to capture it, usually taking a voice memo on my phone while walking.
Thanks again for your post. Have a great weekend.
Jaime, great advice. Getting out i nature as always been my refreshment. In your opinion, can blogging bring in as much income as having a website? Anxious to start seeing results and I'm thinking blogging is a faster method! Thanks, for your opinion!

Blogging could defiantly bring in good income, many people are doing it here and within a short amount of time. I'm sure you'll be one of those people very soon :)

Thank you Jaime for reminding me to walk away and take that hike when things get a little overbearing. I haven't been a WA member one week yet, and I felt like pulling my hair out (and I don't have much to pull on LOL) from time to time this past week.
This post has reminded me what's most important in life.
God bless,

No problem at all John, we're only human so we need a break or two every now and then. Have a great weekend my friend.
