Frustrated & No Motivation To Push Through
FRUSTRATED
Lets talk about frustration, so I reached the end of my training and can't get past the last lesson. I decided to take a break which is why I haven't been on WA or the computer in, I don't know exactly how long, but Let's say at least several days maybe longer. I haven't been counting or just too frustrated to remember how long. Although I know its me and not the training. This is how I get when too many things are not coming together smoothly. I am more drained from being frustrated that it is affecting my motivation, putting me in that bummed and depressed. Feeling like I can't do this which makes me tell myself that quitting is not an option. Even though I am ready to pull hair out of my scalp, there is this little voice that tells me to push through my hard. I ask myself, "what can I do to get back in the flow"? How do I push through my hardest hard? Well, time to reevaluate my decision to push through my hardest hard. According to the training, I follow the training the best I can and something always manage to go wrong. Which leads me to get up and walk away from the computer, not to mention the distraction with social media. Now, I lost my motivation.
MOTIVETION
Motivation in the beginning was great. I was gun ho, pumped up and ready to take on the world and whatever road blocks came my way. I would get through it, as long as I don't give up it would be a great reward at the end of this madness, by convincing myself that I need to take a break would be the answer but it was not the answer between the frustration and lack of motivation made me lazy. Now the motivation was gone. While I was watching TV, and laying in bed, all I can think about is "I need to Finnish my training". But how do I push through I know it is possible as I got through all my other challenges. Knowing this too shall pass, and I refuse to give up, as I lay in the bed feeling as though I have given up already. I have no one to blame but myself, for how this all plays out. I realized I can't control the past, I can't control my future, the only thing I can ONLY control the HERE and NOW (THIS MOMENT). What I do NOW (THIS MINUTE), will pave my future, I so I jumped up and decided to pour it all out in a blog, since I haven't put out a new blog in a while, In hope that blogging my journey would spark some motivation to keep going and get started again.
CONCLUSION
Yes! I am FRUSTRATED. Yes! I have no MOTIVATION. My plan is to still keep going. Quitting is not an option at this point, my promise to myself is to Finnish the lessons, in hope, that what I am getting frustrated about will all come together in boot camp. I know I can do this because it's my choice to do so, I owe it to myself to not give up. We all have choices I can choose to still be frustrated or to overcome, and get through the obstacles like a track star, and then have a great story to tell later. I just have to keep telling myself that successful people did not become successful without some frustration or even lack of motivation at some point. It's what you decide to when these things happen, is what matters most.
I CHOOSE TO KEEP GOING!

I know this isn’t much help but Rome wasn’t built in a day and I’m sure they had to rest often also. Take care of you first and the rest will fall in place
Well said, Chante! We all suffer setbacks, but we must exercise patience and perseverance!

I think lots of us felt that way a times with the training. The great thing about video training is that you can do it over and over until you get it. And you will get it. Since COVID, I have had to learn to do things with live feeds and editing that I never imagined I would have to do. I ended up watch some YouTube videos a dozen times, slowly to learn to apply the principles in the videos. But eventually I did. You will too.

Unfortunately, I understand these feelings all too well. This is my third year at WA. The first year I worked on a site that went nowhere because I really did not understand, but in the end, it was great practice.
When I started my second site things went much more smoothly. However, I do still have a hard time writing content.
I can come up with ideas no probs but actually making the article is where I struggle greatly.
Motivation (good or bad) is only one part of the equation but it is important.
I have had many breaks but I always come back.
I recently wrote an a blog on WA about your "why". Why are you doing this? What motivates you to keep going? A strong "why" can be the reason you keep going!
Anyway if you ever need help or just need to vent I am here for you!

I'm certain that the vast majority of us feel this way from time to time Chanté!
It's all part of the journey my friend and if we push through the hard times, never give up, then better times will be there to greet us in the future!
