Today I Cried

Not because anything was wrong... I just had a very uncharacteristic rush of self-doubt and anxiety, probably hormone induced just like I bog about. PS I couldn't even get the picture above to drag into position...lol... I questioned whether I did my SEO right, I freaked out when I realized I had listed my URL wrong in google console, I felt overwhelmed trying to edit my content to include the keywords (I do mine after I write content) and despite writing 28,166 words and 14 posts in 6 weeks, had no idea if I was on the right track, but Ive put way too much in to give up. But some posts no matter what I do I can't seem to get them above SEO score of 64. So I just sat there and had a good cry.

Then a very kind soul here at WA must have felt every ounce of that anxiety pouring off the screen with my panicked questions and took the time to not only answer them but expound and serve me up a bit of a pep talk, loaded with encouragement and real experiences. In addition, support took care of the issue and gave me the directions to fix the google console issue. Then I received 2 emails telling me 2 more pages had received indexing.

So tonight I'm going to reward myself with a glass of wine 🍷 and a snuggle on the couch with my very neglected but uncomplaining husband (By me spending every spare moment I'm not at work in my shop with my nose buried in this keyboard typing away).

Sitting here with my 🍷 and a thankful heart for the team here who have all been beginners in my shoes 👠 and tackle my next 14 pages starting tomorrow. 🥂

You are not alone; we all go through the same experience at a time.
So don't give up; keep moving.
Best wishes.

Thank you for sharing your feelings. I guess that the simple fact that you chose to write down about this kind of moments made you feel better and even relieved to a certain degree. We all go through similar situations, but eventually realize that sometimes it's ok to not be ok. It's just a phase anyway. Stay hopeful and positive🤗

Thank you for your kind words:) I did wake up with a fresh mind set! I am using my blog to journal my journey so I remember to pass the same empathy that was shown to me on to others when the situation is reversed.Have a wonderful day!

So glad you've pulled yourself out of that slump, Elaine. We all fall into them from time to time, but it's how and when we pull out that matters.

Thanks Phil, a good sleep and an attitude adjustment were in order lol! My Dad laughed when I told him about my day and said “Honey of all my children you are the one who always bounces back quickest, usually with a sarcastic comment and the ability to laugh about it. Ive never seen you down in the dumps for more than a day.” So tada! Back at it wishing you a wonderful day!
