The "D" Words
This is month #2 for me as a WA Premium member and it's been all good! Since I work a regular 9-5 and just started an online job, it's been a bit challenging to juggle work, family, teaching, and keeping on top of my Wealthy Affiliate ventures.
I now have three websites I've found great keywords for and I'm deciding if I want to switch over my IPage to Wealthy Affiliates. I've been busy! Around the middle of last month, things were getting pretty crazy. I had to get myself scheduled so that I kept my eyes on the prize; the prize being online marketing success.
I found myself using the "D" word a few times when schedules and obligations got tight. I could feel my anxiety level going up; not a good thing.
I had to regroup and use a more positive approach to accomplishing my online marketing goals. One of the first things I did was to rethink my thinking. I truly believe what we think manifests itself whether positive or negative-yes, I'm a law of attraction, vision boarding, meditating person, but I'm not perfect and sometimes I get thrown off track with so many obligations just like everyone else.
So I recognized in my regrouping, that I needed to quickly changed the negative "D" word use to a positive outlook. Now, instead of getting flustered and using the dreaded swear ["D"] word, I've resolved to make my main "D" word "Determination" from now on.
But, I also thought of all the words that begin with the letter D that are relevant to my success with WA and my online marketing. I had to remember what my overall goal is; to work for myself!
It's amazing what taking a little time to regroup and settle your mind, your time, and your schedule will do for you in a positive way.
There are other ways of getting yourself scheduled but I think determination is the main factor that one should keep in primary focus.
After that, you can make yourself a list of what your "D" words are as they relate to your determination to succeed. For example, think of other word and letter associations that you keep in notes to yourself such as:
Discipline - Make a promise to yourself that you will apply at least one thing to your online marketing everyday, even if it's just general online searches or researching websites to see what others are doing that has helped them to monetize and succeed. I actually like to do more than one thing when my schedule allows but do at least one thing daily. It keeps you focused on what you want to accomplish.
Discussion - Take advantage of WA discussion and live chat boards. There are so many knowledgeable people here who are more than willing to give you honest feedback as well as answering questions about just about anything. Utilize your colleagues' expertise. I assure you, it is very much appreciated and well worth it. When we help others, we help ourselves as well.
Dedication - Keep your eyes on the prize. Affirm daily that you are dedicated to succeeding in your business/businesses!
Don't give up! - Finally, don't ever give up! If your life is just insane at the moment, you may have to take a day off to unplug from the grid. This means cell phone, internet, social media; everything.
It can be a challenge to unplug because we're so used to having our technology connections, but you can't be productive if you're stressed out.
Take a break and plug back in tomorrow. You'll be surprised how refreshed your brain and body will be after a rest break.
What are some of the things you do to keep your stress and anxiety levels in check while you're on your journey to personal success?
Use your "D" word(s) wisely and to YOUR successful advantage.
I wish you all the success in the world!
Just Don't give up!
